Why You Need WordPress

February 10,  2016 by David Zemens

WordPress is a Flexible CMS

WordPress started out as a content management system (CMS) designed to drive personal blogs. Over time, as the versatility and reliability of WordPress was recognized, web developers continued to implement the WordPress platform to manage many different types of websites. In fact, companies such as CNN, Best Buy, and Sony have all used WordPress at one time or another to power websites they control. WordPress continues to be a versatile software package that has many uses in many settings.

WordPress Separates Design from Content

WordPress is a database driven content management system.  As such, the content of your website (text, photos, videos, etc) are stored in a database for retrieval when needed.  This data is kept completely separate from your website’s design, which is contained within an individual theme that presents the look and feel of your website. Both the content and design are kept separate from the actual WordPress functionality that drives your website. Because these features are not intermingled, redesigning or updating your website is quite simple if you use WordPress

Search Engines Love WordPress

The developers of WordPress use high quality code that meets the standards required by major search engines like Google.  As a result, websites powered by WordPress are seen as friendly by the search engines, which results in your website being indexed and ranked properly.

Flexibility is Key

WordPress is an open source software platform. An advantage of open source software is that you are not tied to a proprietary piece of software to drive your website. You are also not tied to a particular person, developer or company to maintain or update your site.  This leaves you in complete control of your website.

Updates, Upgrades & Feature Enhancements

The WordPress developers and the WordPress community work together to update and optimize the code daily. In fact, developers across the world contribute to continuing improvements of WordPress. Being the most popular content management system on the Internet means that WordPress is loaded with features and upgrades that you can put to use on your website. In fact, whatever your needs, somebody in the WordPress community has probably already thought about the problem and developed a plugin to do just what you want!

I Work Here

Map of our location

Even though I work in metro Detroit, I have worked with clients from Seattle, Washington to Jacksonville, Florida. That pretty much covers all the United States.

I can work with your project, too!

Where Are You Located?

I am located in Rochester, Michigan but have worked with clients from coast to coast. Distance is never a problem. I’ll communicate with you quickly and you’ll feel that I’m just around the corner – no matter the distance between us.

1955

I was born in 1955. I'm old enough to remember the internet before "www" was around. Just white text on a black screen. No graphics. This means I'm experienced. Why not use my experience to your advantage?
