"I have been working as a website developer for over a decade, with experience in Adobe Dreamweaver but little focus on Wordpress. As I return to the SEO world, I see Wordpress is still widely used for website building with tools like RankMath and plugins. However, I view Wordpress as outdated technology and have avoided it in my career. I'm curious if Wordpress is essential for SEO and if there are alternatives like Framer that can be just as effective. I'm not criticizing Wordpress, just wondering why it is so dominant in SEO. I appreciate any insights you can provide. Thank you."

The platform’s flexibility, supported by themes and plugins, allows for extensive customization tailored to SEO needs. The Wordpress community offers vast resources for users to learn and troubleshoot SEO practices. The platform’s regular updates ensure compliance with the latest SEO standards.
