Why Use WordPress?
Fri, Aug 22, 2008
There are reasons that WordPress is the biggest and most popular platform for a website, and there are probably hundreds of reasons to use it. Here are just a few of the most important ones that you should consider:
1. It’s super easy to use.
This is the best reason to use WordPress for your site. Why would you even consider using something that’s far more difficult when WordPress offers everything you could possibly need and makes it easy for you to use?
You don’t need any advanced computer programming skills to use WordPress, just about anyone that can operate a computer can run a WordPress site smoothly.
2. You have so many themes and templates to choose from.
You don’t have to be an advanced web designer to publish an amazing site, because WordPress works as the perfect web designer.
With the hundreds of themes and templates available for you to choose from, you can make your site look polished and professional, whether it’s a site about your pet, your hobby, your business, or absolutely anything you can imagine.
You can choose to make it a running blog site or an online magazine. You won’t find more choices with any platform.
3. WordPress is incredibly flexible.
You can customize WordPress to meet any of your website needs.
Whether you want a static site with multiple pages, a blog site, the perfect CMS system, or a super-polished high-tech appearing site with streaming video and slideshows, WordPress can do the job for you and make it look sweet.
4. Endless options and plug-ins.
When you use WordPress, you have the option of fully customizing your site with endless plug-ins, widgets, and options to make it everything you need.
Use cool plug-ins to get stats, let visitors leave comments, invite trackbacks, include links to recent post listings, bookmarks, maps, absolutely anything to make your site run exactly how you want it to.
5. WordPress helps you get your content indexed
…with easy assignment of tags and categories, and easy ways to manage those things.
Instantly view any of your posts, see what they look like, and review your categories and tags quickly and efficiently to make sure they’re perfect.
6. WordPress is free.
How much more explanation does this point require?
Some say that not only is WordPress free, but it is priceless, too. You could choose to spend a lot of money on software for a platform, but with WordPress being free, that would be silly.
7. WordPress makes you look like a pro
Your site looks polished and well-designed, and all you have to do is type in your thoughts or your content. WordPress does all of the hard work for you.
There are actually other choices for platforms that are available out there. But, these reasons make WordPress better than the rest.
It’s easier to use, nicer looking, and offers more bells and whistles than most of the others.
