Is WordPress the Best Option For Casino Affiliates?

**Ken** · 31 March 2024, 4:50 pm

I use WordPress. It has served me well but just lately I have heard some negative comments in regards to WP affiliate sites. What are the major problems? Is it still a viable platform? Are there alternatives? Is having a custom made website significantly better than one using WP?

I am not a design expert, but my site looks OK. Not bad for someone with my lack of web design talent. Would getting one made make any difference at all to SEO or retention?

Few recent discussion of similar question covered, there are quite a few more.

Using wordpress or not is usually based more on your own level of expertise as well as what you are willing to invest time/$ in to the project.

Often having something completely custom built is far more money needed as well as an additional learning curve to manage.

To answer the main question: Is WordPress the Best Option For Casino Affiliates?

In my opinion: it's best if you have a lightweight version website, WordPress has too much clutter. If someone has the budget to create a website which fits his needs, review or top list website - then I'll definitely go with a custom built website.

There are pro's and con's on this subject.

As a fellow affiliate marketer, I'd say WordPress is a solid choice for casino affiliates. Its flexibility, ease of use, and vast array of plugins make it an excellent platform for building and managing affiliate websites. With the right themes and plugins, you can create professional-looking casino affiliate sites that attract and retain visitors. Plus, WordPress offers SEO-friendly features, essential for driving traffic to your affiliate links. While there are other options out there, WordPress remains a popular and reliable choice for many casino affiliates.

By my opinion WordPress remains the most popular choice for affiliate sites, but concerns about speed, security, and optimization have surfaced. Proper maintenance and optimization can address these issues. Alternatives include platforms like Wix and Shopify. Custom-made websites offer more flexibility but may require higher costs and technical expertise. Prioritize user experience and content quality regardless of the platform chosen.

Wix and shopify are HORRIBLE choices for affiliates in this industry (and in my opinion many others).

Simple example, get wix to build you a site on their platform and then move it to another host. Ooops that's right you can't, site needs rebuilt. Shopify is very similar with a proprietary backend, and if you really have to build a cart, woo commerce is a very good choice in word press.

The debate centered around shopify could be made in some cases, depending on level of expertise of on staff developers, but again, we should focus more on the thread topic, what is best for casino affiliates, and those 2 are not high on most lists.

For me, the decision was only between WordPress and a custom-made website. After my initial research, I did not consider other options.

Is WordPress the best choice? It depends on your budget and web design skills. In my case, I started with a limited budget, and not only am I not good at designing, but I also hate it. Building my site from scratch would have been just the beginning. There is always something to edit/update/resolve, and for me, it would have been a constant headache. Therefore, WordPress was an easy decision.

If I had the money and the skills at that time, I would have preferred a custom-made website. However, to be honest, for most people, all that fancy stuff isn’t necessary, and you can achieve similar results with a well-configured WordPress site.

I also use WordPress and have similar feelings. It's true that recently, I've heard more negative comments about WP affiliate sites.
Security and speed are concerns, but the ease of use makes it scalable.

The best choice is a custom-built CMS tailored to your needs because WordPress is a massive system where you use at best 10% of its functionality, and it has many vulnerabilities for hacking

**Silver Crocodile** · 18 June 2024, 6:38 am

+ 1 for a custom site, as a custom solution offers enhanced security, scalability, and improved performance.

**Sofi777** · 30 June 2024, 5:58 am

Yes, WordPress is a great option for casino affiliates because it's easy to use, SEO-friendly, scalable, supported by a large community, and offers robust security with plugins. It allows for customization without needing advanced coding skills, making it ideal for building and growing affiliate sites effectively.

There are a lot of wordpress themes that go well with iGaming or in general any other affiliate related niche. For starters I definitely recommend wordpress, since it is easy to operate and maintain.

**OnlineKasiino** · 3 July 2024, 2:42 am

I use WordPress for all of my affiliate sites, but if I had the skills, I would opt for a custom-built CMS for more flexibility. But until then, WP serves me well.
