subject: The Benefits Of Using Wordpress For Your Website [print this page] What's the major benefit of having a Wordpress website?
If I'm honest, I don't having a flipping clue!
And if you're reading this and thinking about having a website yourself, you probably don't either. Icould waffle about technical things that I can copy and paste from official sounding forums and blogsbut it wouldn't mean anything.
Instead I can honestly and whole heartedly tell you about how I see the benefits of a Wordpresswebsite, my view not as a web designer, but an end user.
First up, our wordpress website created by the wordpress web design team is very easy to navigate.It looks good, feels good and if I could sniff it, then that would probably be a good smell too. Ourbusiness needed a content managed website, referred to as CMS website. We wanted this becausewe needed to update our website whenever we needed to. Luckily for us news, videos, testimonials
and more can be added in minutes. What we didn't want is to have to ring up a web developer everymonth with a list of changes and updates. We wanted our site to be ours.
Developed out of blogging software the Wordpress user interface is easy to use and takes tenminutes to learn and half hour to master once you've been shown how. The Web Design Nottingham team gave us all the knowledge we needed and sent us on our way. So updating your wordpresswebsite is really quick and easy but what else can a wordpress website offer you? Well here's a swiftlittle list generated from our small heads:
SEO! - You can optimise your website easily by adding tags. Great for getting discovered on
Google!
Customisation! - You can change the look and colour of your website in a few clicks. It
comes with a simple editor!
Social Media! - Fully compatible with all forms of social media. We're talking facebook,
youtube, twitter. All of it can appear on your site pretty much!
A site for life! Wordpress is always being updated! If you want to add a new section to
your website, you can in a couple of clicks. Want a site that can grow with your business?
This is it
Integration! You want a newsletter, wordpress has a plug-in for that, want an online
payment system, wordpress has a plug-in for that. In fact wordpress has a plug-in for
everything, you might need a wordpress expert to help you out with some of them but they
are all there for the using.
This is just a short little list of reasons why we think Wordpress websites are pretty cool. There couldbe even better reasons but I don't know them. All I know is that, as an end user the site works forus and everything we need. You can't really ask for more that can you.
