Beyond the myths: Why modern WordPress is your safest bet for the enterprise web
At Pixeled Eggs, we build smart, modern websites that sit at the heart of purpose-driven organisations. We know from our extensive experience that when built and maintained properly, WordPress is one of the safest, most adaptable and future-proof tools out there.
WordPress powers almost half the internet. More than 43% of all websites and 61% of those built on a CMS run on it (Kinsta, 2025). Still, it gets side eyed by some organisations. You’ll hear that it’s insecure or that “serious” sites don’t use it. The truth? Those worries usually come from how WordPress is built and used, not from what it is.
A lot of the scepticism comes from early experiences. Given its market share over the past 22 years, it’s likely that people have come across a badly built WordPress website, bogged down with too many plugins and with little or no care for its security. Others assume open-source equals unsafe. But WordPress is now an enterprise solution, with industry leading security that makes it the best option for organisations of all sizes.
Security Done Right
WordPress core is incredibly secure. The platform releases updates every few weeks and with a huge community behind it, security fixes are released within hours of being discovered. Combine that with the right setup and it’s as strong as any closed source alternative.
Managed hosts like Kinsta handle firewalls, DDoS protection and automated backups. Add a trusted security plugin like Wordfence or Sucuri, obfuscate the admin URL and enable two-factor login, and you’re already ahead of most platforms.
For context, 94% of WordPress hacks come from outdated plugins or weak credentials (Sucuri, 2023). Both are entirely avoidable with proper care.
At Pixeled Eggs, every site we build is secure by design. Our code is clean and standards-led. We design and build the frontend to each brand’s bespoke requirements, reduce plugin dependency and apply hardening techniques to ensure security. Because a great CMS doesn’t just manage content, it helps you manage change.
Why WordPress Works So Well
WordPress combines freedom and reliability. It’s open-source, which means no licensing limits or vendor lock-ins. It’s constantly evolving thanks to a global community of over 60,000 contributors who improve it daily and through continuous updates, there are no expensive and time consuming platform updates like some of its competitors.
It’s also built for scale. From small campaign pages to enterprise systems, it handles traffic growth without needing an expensive rebuild. Big names like NASA, The White House and UNICEF all use WordPress for its flexibility, extensibility and security.
Importantly, it’s user friendly, with an intuitive backend and powerful block editing capabilities that puts you in charge of your content.
Performance, Accessibility and Sustainability
Speed and accessibility aren’t optional anymore. A one-second delay can reduce conversions by 7%, and 40% of users leave a site that takes more than three seconds to load (Baymard Institute).
That’s why every Pixeled Eggs WordPress build is made to perform. We use mobile-first frameworks, optimise for search, speed and Core Web Vitals, and write efficient code that performs. Every site we create is modular, tracked and sustainable because smart design should never cost the planet.
Beyond Content Management
WordPress is more than a CMS. It’s your digital heart – usable, findable, trackable and built to grow with you!
For purpose-driven organisations, that means a platform that adapts as your impact grows. With the right build, WordPress becomes a long-term asset rather than a short-term fix. It’s flexible enough for everyday content management and powerful enough to support complex integrations with CRMs, donation systems and data tools.
The Takeaway
Distrust in WordPress usually comes from old stories, not current reality. Today it’s the most robust, flexible and future-ready CMS available.
At Pixeled Eggs, we design and build WordPress websites that are secure, accessible and made to last. Because for every purpose-driven organisation, your website shouldn’t just tell your story, it should power it.
