Why Your Business Needs Wordpress
What is Wordpress?
Wordpress is an open-source Content Management and Blogging platform that is used by hundreds of thousands of businesses and bloggers around the world. Being open-source, Wordpress is continuously being updated and developed to ensure that it remains a robust and user-friendly web site development tool.
And the best thing about it? It’s free!
Why Should You Use Wordpress?
Apart from it being free to use, Wordpress has proved itself to be a highly scalable and flexible web development platform. It can be used by just about anyone to achieve just about anything on the internet (I built SEO simplicity on Wordpress). Whether you just want to blog about your hobby, or showcase your Fortune 500 Company (and everything in between) Wordpress is your platform.
Don’t believe that an open-source web development tool that is free to use could ever be taken seriously by a Fortune 500 Company? Well, just look at the following web sites that have been created using Wordpress:
Rhymes and Reason 2010 An online campaign by Honda.
Intel Blogathon 2009 Intel and Lenovo 24-hour blogathon to commemorate the launch of their ultra-low voltage processor.
Best Buy Best Buy is the largest retailer of consumer electronics in the USA. The company has more than 150,000 employees and $40 billion in revenue.
The Ford Story The Ford Story documents Ford’s progress in developing high-quality, fuel-efficient cars and trucks.
… and there are plenty more examples on the Wordpress Site!
And there’s more…
Once your business web site has been built on Wordpress we will show you how to create new web pages and how to run a blog. No longer will you have to rely on a web site designer every time you want to add new content to your site or make the smallest of changes.
Of course, if you don’t want to do this or there is something more technical that you want to achieve then SEO simplicity can help. But overall, with Wordpress properly installed and configured you should be able to grow your site without external help.
And no, we are not an affiliate of Wordpress. If you choose to use Wordpress to run your business web site we will not receive any form of commission from Wordpress. Wordpress is a truely free piece of open-source software and so are the regular upgrades. What you will pay for is our consulting time and any graphic designs that you choose to get done.
