WordPress is a free, Web-based software program that anyone can use to build and maintain a website or blog. It was originally intended as an easy way to set up a blog. But, thanks to the efforts of a large “open source” community of WordPress programmers working to extend and improve its capabilities, WordPress has become much more than just a tool for bloggers.
Benefits of WordPress
SEO! - You can optimise your website for search engines very easily by adding tags to all your pages and posts or installing the SEO plug-in which allows for meta data to be added. Its also very easy to update on a regular basis, and Google loves new content!
Customization! - You can change the look of your website by installing new themes that can be customized to fit your brand. Themes are composed of images and cascading style sheet (CSS) webpage layouts, and this makes it very easy to customize the look and feel of a WordPress site using a pre-existing Theme.
Social Media! - WordPress is fully compatible with all forms of social media. Facebook, twitter and youtube can all appear on your site, and it can be synced with them so any new website updates are immediately announced.
A site for life! - WordPress is always being updated and further developed so you can keep it looking modern and fresh! Also it is easily expandable, you may add a new section, page or post, to your website with just a few clicks, for absolutely free. Want a site that can expand and change alongside your business, WordPress is it!
Integration! - Newsletters, online payment systems, social media, contact forms, E-commerce, music players, search bars, WordPress has a huge range of freely available plug-in's that can be installed with literally the click of a button, and even for the slightly more advanced ones, any good web design company will be able to point you in the right direction.
