Why WordPress

As a web design company we used to use Joomla as our preferred CMS of chioce when a CMS was needed. It’s not that Joomla is a bad platform, it’s not. But we started using WordPress more and more and it looks as if WordPress is now our preferred CMS platform.  Wordpress is what we use to power the Technology New website and it is our first choice for our Ohio website design firm. When WordPress released version 3.0 just a few weeks ago things changed for the platform. It is now a major player in the game. It has now become a very capable CMS system.  So, if you are looking to design the website yourself or hire a professional to design it for you -Wordpress is the platform to choose. WordPress is more than able to drive your entire website and it is very easy to use. So read ahead and find out why WordPress will be the only CMS you will ever need to use.


Here are just a few of the advantages of using WordPress:

Customize WordPress to fit your needs. It is a fully customizable platform because it draws on the power of XHTML and CSS. You control the look and feel of your WordPress website.
WordPress has hundreds of free and paid for templates. If you don’t have the know how of web design, that’s ok. Just pick your template, install it, and you are ready to go.

Search Engines feed off WordPress. Because content on your blog or website can be easly updated and changed this means that your site will be visited more often by the search engines. Sites using this CMS get indexed much faster. This means more traffic to your website in a much shorter time frame.

WordPress has a great developer community who are always designing plug-ins and add-ons. These add-ons and plug-ins range from ecommerce to forms. There are hundreds of these to choose from.
WordPress is very SEO friendly. Right out of the box WordPress has built in features allowing you to make your website ready to be found not just by the search engines but for those looking for your content.

It saves you money. WordPress is so easy to use. There are no coding skills required. This means that you can update the software yourself. No need to hire a web designer to do it for you.

Even with how WordPress has evolved into a very capable CMS it still handles the work of a  blog website very nicely. This is built right in and because blogs are very important today it is nice to have WordPress on your side.

RSS feeds. WordPress makes it very easy for you to syndicate your content. This is a powetful method for getting good web traffic to your website.

We hope this list was helpful. We love WordPress and it is the first platform we turn to when we need a website for a client who needs to be able to update the site themselves. Our list could have gone on and on and we just only touched the tip of the iceberg. Don’t just take our word for it though. Jump in and you will see for yourself just how powerful and capable WordPress is.
