Why I love WordPress

and why you would love WordPress too

Google loves WordPress. I love Google and I love WordPress (it’s very search engine friendly). It makes Search Engine Optimization easy!

If you can operate Microsoft Word, you can probably use WordPress.

It lowers the bar for what it takes to maintain websites — Although WordPress is a blogging platform, it’s really so much more.

No software needed – Have a laptop and wireless connection? Go to the nearest wi-fi hotspot if you want and blog about your cats or your business.

WordPress Kills Spam. That’s right, you won’t have to worry about a flood of spam comments.

Not just a blog. WordPress.com has a feature called “pages” which allows you to easily create web pages. For example, you could add an “about me” page with your biography. You can even create an entire web site using pages in WordPress, with a custom home page and your blog as one of the sub-pages.

Widgets for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and more. You can add “widgets” to your sidebar and rearrange them without touching any HTML code or messing up your blog. Just drag and drop the sidebar widgets around, and instantly you can have fun stuff in your sidebar.

Customizable. You can make WordPress do just about anything by simply finding the right plugin.

You can set up Wordpress to automatically ping all the RSS and blog feed directories every time you make a post. This is a very powerful feature if you want your blog to get a lot of traffic right away. On top of that, you′ll be quickly developing backlinks to your blog almost automatically.

Right about now you might be asking yourself “What do I need a Web Designer for if WordPress will do all of this for me?” Your Web Designer will be there to setup WordPress and give it a look customized to your brand. Your Web Designer can also setup and customize features and plugins for you to ensure that your site is all ready to go, ready for you to take over, and ready for business!

Choosing a WordPress-based website leaves you in control.
