Making sense of websites and all the choices is hard when you all you know is you want your site to do A, B and C but don’t know the best way to do it. CMS websites such as WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal and more traditional websites such as Flash, CSS, HTML, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, E-Commerce websites are all very common but what do you choose? If you have a business then a CMS website (Web 2.0) is what you should be using. What is CMS? It is a Content Management System, once setup it allows you to publish new pages, edit current pages, upload photos / graphics and edit such common features like a monthly special all without having to edit the HTML or PHP code of the website. WordPress in some form is the choice of over 78 million for blogging and creating websites. We use it daily, and think you should too.
Companies that use WordPress include About.com, Ford, People Magazine, Sony, CNN, eBay, Wired, and even Yahoo! WordPress websites have been many benefits for both the web designer and customer.
The most common advantages are:
- Editing without needing to know HTML, similar to blog posting, if you can use Yahoo or Google mail then you can learn this
- Easy handling of “rolling events” like specials or events
- Customer participation through comments, if you chose you can have real customers leave testimonials on the website, and is added to the websites with very little effort.
- Spam – Fighting comment spam is not an a major issue as preinstalled Akismet is blocking large amounts of spam in the background.
- Organization of the content using tags, which is very help for Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Search engines love WordPress. On average, sites using this CMS will be indexed in the search engines much faster than traditional static websites. That means you have traffic coming to your site sooner rather than later. SEO is built into this system from the foundation, which means better search engine rankings, instead of waiting weeks and even months for the search engines spiders from Yahoo and Google to index your static website pages, your site will get indexed in a matter of a few days.
- Easy addition of new functionality (such as widgets, contact page and plug-ins)
- For the web designer once the site is setup and functioning it basically runs itself – you enter the Do-It-Yourself world. No more waiting for and paying a web designer to update your site, saving you time and money. The system is easy enough for anyone without coding skills to maintain on their own. This means you can add new content whenever you want.
- There are many, many more places to promote a WordPress website for free than a traditional website. You not only can market it to all of the places you could any other website, you can also send it to all of the blog directories. This means you have the potential of reaching many more visitors than a standard HTML website. WordPress has a built in RSS feed. This means you have the ability to syndicate your content. This is a very powerful traffic grabbing tool. To add RSS to a traditional website, you would have to pay your web designer to create the feed for you for additional fees.
- Finally WordPress is Open Source. Millions of publishers use WordPress and many talented programmers and individuals work daily to improve WordPress for the benefit of everyone. Why get committed into some proprietary website system that locks you in?
