Why use WordPress to power your Business Website?

WordPress is one of the most popular blogging tools available. But what many people don’t know is that it is a powerful Content Management System (CMS) that can be used for more than just blogging. With WordPress you can build a blog, a website, or both. WordPress is a good choice for small business websites as well as larger; complex function websites. It’s also our favorite platform and well; it’s awesome!

What are Content Management Systems

A content management system (or CMS) is a tool that helps you manage the creation and updates to web pages on your web site.

Using WordPress as a Website

WordPress – an amazingly powerful content management system that has a ton of power for a small or medium business looking for an easy way to manage their web site.

WordPress was originally designed as a blogging platform, but you don’t have to use it as a blogging tool. With a few plugins and custom tweaks, it can be used to run your website (with or without a “blog”). The fact that WordPress was designed as a blogging platform gives it some compelling advantages like ease of use, scalability, feature-rich, and super SEO friendly.

It is optimized for easily publishing and changing content. And getting good search engine rankings requires fresh, unique content. You need a system that does not get in your way when you want to update your website with a new article or newsletter.

So why is WordPress a good choice?

Top Five Reasons to Use WordPress for Your Small Business Website

SEO – WordPress provides good search engine optimization (SEO) right out of the box. There are a few tweaks you need to make, but there are many seo benefits that WordPress provides for free. In fact Google’s own Matt Cutts says WordPress is “made to do SEO well” in this video: Matt Cutts gives tips to small business owners.
Content – it is easy to update content on your website without knowing HTML. Do you hate the idea of having to learn to use a complex HTML editor tool like Dreamweaver? Do you have to “ask” your webmaster every time you want to make a small change to your website? Well no longer – once WordPress is set up for you, you can easily create new pages or edit existing pages using a simple rich text editor.
Extensions – There is a thriving ecosystem of developers creating themes and plug-ins – imagine free design themes, or the ability to extend your website with polls, contact forms, ratings or hundreds of other cool features without having to hire a web developer.
Support – If you do have problems, or want to add very custom features, it is easy to find support and developers who can help you. There are literally thousands of WordPress developers out there. And there are so many people writing about WordPress that help is only a Google search away! We’re also Official WordPress Consultants; so we are probably qualified to help you out if you get stuck
One-click-installation – Quick installs are provided by many hosting providers.
