This popular Content Management System has become very popular for 'designing' websites. Since no coding skills or knowledge are required these sites have become very popular. The common practice in building a WordPress site is get a free, or low cost, Theme and just 'fill in the blanks'. Free WordPress Themes are very popular and often, the reason they are free is they include Trojan Horse malware. Once a site is live, it has multiple back doors that can be accessed by skilled hackers. The site can distribute malware to anyone who visits it. If your site get's hacked Google will give this warning to anyone searching for you:
Yes, WordPress can be made secure. It requires additional work including ongoing updating of the theme and all the plug-ins. Also, the base coding needs to be modified including the Admin access and the wp-config.php file. If the theme has malware designed into it then it usually cannot be fixed secured.
We see WordPress as a good platform for a skilled 'developer' that can do ongoing updates and security management. However, for a small business it's just insecure and requires too much ongoing maintenance.
WordPress is often 'oversold' as a low cost option to build a cheap website.
It works fine, but the ongoing maintenance can be burdensome for a
small business owner.

1 Use HTML / CSS Coding
2 No Plug-Ins or Back Door Access
3 Use Business Class Web Hosting
4 Don't Outsource Anything Overseas
