5 Good Reasons Why Your Business should use WordPress

Consider WordPress for your next business website

WordPress is an Open Source software which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial website without have to pay a single dime for it. Over the past few years it has evolved into a full-blown CMS, capable of supporting complex websites.

It’s User Friendly

You don’t really have to be experienced to use WordPress on your website. Most hosting companies let you install WordPress on your site at a single click of the mouse. The administration section is easy to navigate and its even easier to add articles and add content to your website.

Here are a few other reasons we like WordPress for small business websites so much:

1. SEO – WordPress provides great search engine optimization (SEO) right out of the box. We recommend tweaking the setup a bit, but there are many SEO benefits that WordPress provides for free. In fact Google’s own Matt Cutts says WordPress is “made to do SEO well” in this video: Matt Cutts gives tips to small business owners.
2. Content – it is easy to update content on your website without knowing HTML.  Do you hate the idea of having to learn to use a complex HTML editor tool like Dreamweaver? Do you have to “ask” your webmaster every time you want to make a small change to your website? Well no longer – once WordPress is set up for you, you can easily create new pages or edit existing pages using a simple rich text editor.
3. Plugins – There is a worldwide conglomerate of developers creating amazing themes and plug-ins – imagine free design themes, or being able to extend your website with polls, contact forms, ratings or hundreds of other cool features with just a few mouse clicks.
4. Support – If you do have problems, or want to add very custom features, you have a world of resources available. There are literally thousands of WordPress developers out there. And there are so many people writing about WordPress that help is only a Google search away. The WordPress codex is a great place to start.
5. One-click-installation – Quick installs are provided by many hosting providers, including Dreamhost, 1and1 and GoDaddy.
