Instagram and WordPress are quite similar when it comes to promoting a specific business or showcasing certain things.
However despite some similarities occurring there are also some differences too, that make both the two platforms comparable.
Starting upon WordPress, when using it and typing you have the ability to change the text font to whichever appeals to you most, including on your blog posts and website. However; when looking to see if Instagram has this same option available, to see if you change your text font you are unable to as they don’t have any features to, if you feel like you want to change your font you have to rely on your keyboard or changing your font upon the internet and then coming back to Instagram to type in your chosen one. So while WordPress has this feature Instagram does not.
When wanting to place a filter upon your images on Instagram or WordPress both have the option to apply a filter that they have designed, however Instagram seems to have a lot more options available for the filters whereas WordPress have a smaller amount compared.
WordPress have different themes you can activate to make your page look a certain way and adjust so that the colours suit to it, however comparing this to Instagram there is only one theme that everyone can see which is the white theme unless they change it to seeing black. However you can’t choose a customized theme for your page for every person to see and there are no options available to do so.
WordPress don’t include hashtags like Instagram, which means it may be a bit more difficult for people to find our websites and blog posts whereas upon Instagram when uploading our posts we have the choice to include hashtags so we can target a certain audience to find our posts and therefore then take more notice of our account and posts.
I personally prefer using the platform Instagram because I find it an easier way to navigate through and there are plenty of filters and editing tools if i wanted to touch up my own photos and also i feel as though people are able to find my work easier due to the feature of hashtags. Despite not having different fonts available like WordPress, there are other ways I can apply that on Instagram. I feel as though it creates a suitable layout naturally for me to post as many photos I would like.
