I am admittedly biased when asked to name the best platform for content management. Among other services, we offer custom WordPress websites. But that's not really what this post is about. The fact is, more than 78 million have chosen WordPress for blogs and creative websites. We've used it for countless websites, and for good reason. So without further ado, here are the 5 reasons we chose WordPress.
One of the best perks about this platform is how user-friendly it is. I am by no means a developer, and even I can put up an attractive blog post or contribute to our website with minimal knowledge. While I am familiar with HTML, I am thrilled that WordPress gives me a way out of having to use it!
While there is definitely a learning curve (a small one I promise) the admin section is logical and easy to navigate, making it easy for anyone to add great content to your site. This is great for us as we can create a client's website and then pass it on to be managed in-house. Of course, if you'd really like, we'll do the admin for you. We don't mind.
Nearly 10 years ago, WordPress was launched as a blogging platform. Fast forward to today and it's now a comprehensive content management system. With the ever-developing capabilities, it's still the best platform for blogging. This is also a great way to improve your web presence. A blog means new content, new keywords, and new ammunition for the search engine's to find you.
Are you rebranding your business? Change your theme. Want to launch a new company blog? Easy. Looking to add an eCommerce component? There's a plug-in for that. Your website can grow with your business. And it isn't just for the little guys. Giants like Yahoo, The New York Times, and Flickr are all based on WordPress!
