Get More from Your Website with WordPress
WordPress has made it possible for you to have a professional looking website that you can write, edit and tweak any time you want – is that cool or what?
Your WordPress website can look just as great as many of the best designed websites in the world for a fraction of the price. WordPress is a great solution whether you need basic website or a CMS site for a large business.
Here are three compelling reasons to go with WordPress.
1. WordPress Can Do Just About Anything….REALLY!
WordPress is ‘open source’ project, which means there are hundreds of people around the world working on it. There are more people working on the development of WordPress than there are working on most of the major brand-name software applications.
WordPress has become so popular since it started in 2003, it is now used by hundreds of thousands of sites from one-page personal pages to Fortune 500 websites. There are now more than 1,000 themes (web design templates) that are built for WordPress. There are nearly 7,000 plugins (add-on programs) which extend the functionality of WordPress to do almost anything you want.
WordPress websites can incorporate blogs, audios, videos, flash photo galleries, RSS feeds, search tools, advertising banners, newsletter signup forms, e-commerce, banner ads, contact forms and survey forms – and that’s just the beginning. You can even promote and link to all your social media profiles, like Yelp, Facebook, Linkedln and Twitter.
2. WordPress Themes Give Your Site the Professional Look
A theme is a website design template. The best theme are the premium themes providing the polished designs and rock-solid functionality. Many great website designers have migrated to WordPress and now develop some pretty impressive themes. Many of these designers previously charged thousands to create a website design for a single client. Now these same designers sell premium WordPress themes to buyers for a tenth of the price.
Some of the best premium themes are called “blank canvas” or “wire-frame”. They provide nearly unlimited design flexibility. The blank-canvas themes are used when a graphic designer is creating the site design and layout.
3. WordPress Gives You the Control to Add and Update Content
One of the great benefits of a WordPress site is having access to all the content. With a WordPress site, you can log in from any computer, any time and from anywhere. You don’t need any special software on your computer nor do you need to ’speak geek’ to update the content.
