Anyone building a new website should definitely consider using WordPress as the CMS content management system. For one thing, WordPress is what is known as "open source" software, which means there's no charge for using it. Techies will be aware that it's constructed using PHP (which is a computer language), and a database management system called MySQL. But don't panic, unless you are a coding freak you'll probably never have to know what they do.
Although the stats change every single second, some bright spark worked out that WordPress sites account for around a sixth of all sites on the internet. Take it from me, that's an awful lot of websites. WordPress has been downloaded more than twenty-nine million times, which gives you an idea of how well regarded it is. This is very good news for fellow WordPress users, because if anything on your site goes down there millions of people out there who can help you fix it and you can reach them via forums and user groups. Another big benefit is that WordPress websites are totally compliant to web regulations and if anything changes, you'll have an update before you can say "web protocol".
WordPress is an almost automatic system that is perfect for both beginners and experts. You can install the basic version with just one click, but if you feel the desire to get into web coding, the option's there for you. Another wonderful thing about Wordpress is that it's difficult to break provided you keep away from the files containing the computer code, which are contained in files accessible by the Editor.
The main function of WordPress is as blogging tool, but it has grown into a catch-all CMS that lets you make a website look just about any way you want it to. This is achieved by the tens of thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands by now) of themes that are available. Themes let users change the functionality and look of a WordPress website without altering or messing up the content you've added. Themes can be added via the Wordpress Dashboard, or by uploading it via your usual FTP application. Many are available for free, others might cost anything up to $497. Premium themes I personally appreciate include Thesis, Sozan, Socrates and Modernize.
It appears that WordPress websites are loved by Google and Bing and the simple act of using WordPress appears to give you an advantage when it comes to getting high rankings in the search engines. The way WordPress is made means that you can optimize your site quite simply by using in-built components like pinging, making use of heading tags such as H1, H2, H3, and so on, getting stuck into categories and 'tagging', and by the use of keywords in your meta tags. Every one of these is already included as part of the basic infrastructure of WordPress.
Last but not least, there are WordPress Plug-ins. These are mini apps that enable you to increase your website's capacity beyond the basic features. WordPress operates a store of over seventeen thousand plugins that include adding Facebook "likes", building search engine sitemaps, adding widgets, guidance with SEO "Search Engine Optimization", and making putting up Youtube videos a doodle. To me, there seems nothing a plug-in cannot do.
