10 Benefits of Using WordPress to Power Your Business Website
Did you know WordPress has been around since 2003? WordPress is the most popular blogging software on the market but has also become the content management software of choice for non-blogging websites.
Here are the top 10 reasons why WordPress is so popular and why you might want to consider switching to a WordPress platform for your business website.
1. Ease of use
WordPress is very easy to use and has an intuitive interface. Adding new pages, blog posts, images, etc. on a regular basis is a breeze and can be done quickly. Because the technology is so simple, time spent on formatting is greatly reduced.
2. Manage your website from any device
WordPress is browser-based. You can login from any internet-connected device and manage your website.
3. No HTML editing or FTP software required
WordPress is a self-contained system and does not require HTML editing software. You can create a new webpage or blog post, format text, upload and edit images, upload documents, video files, image galleries, etc. all without the need for additional HTML or FTP software.
4. Search engines love WordPress websites
The code behind WordPress is very clean and simple, making it easy for search engines to read and index a website’s content.
In addition, each page, post and image can have its own meta tag keywords, description and title and be optimised for specific keywords, allowing for very precise search engine optimisation.
You can also use tags to further enhance your search engine optimisation efforts.
5. You have control of your website
No more waiting for your web designer to make simple updates to your website. With WordPress, you have control of nearly every aspect of your website and can easily make those simple updates yourself.
6. The design of your website is 100% customisable
WordPress acts as the engine for your website. The look and feel of the website can be 100% customised so your brand can shine through on your website and provide a unique experience to your visitors.
7. A blog is built in and ready to go
Since WordPress was originally created as a blogging platform, blogging capabilities are built-in and are easy to integrate, if desired.
Setting up RSS/email subscriptions to your blog, commenting capabilities and automatically adding the most recent blog posts to other pages of the website are also very simple to set up and help to extend your company’s reach and make your website more dynamic and interactive.
8. Extend the functionality of your website with plugins
Want to add an event calendar, video gallery, social media feed and more to your website? WordPress makes this possible with plugins, most of which are free or very reasonably priced.
9. Your website can grow as your business grows
WordPress websites are very scalable. You can have hundreds of thousands of pages or blog posts on your website and the performance of the site will not be compromised in the least.
10. Have multiple users
As an administrator of a WordPress website, you can set up multiple users for the website and assign access levels and capabilities to each user.
