So many people here of wordpress and immediately think that wordpress is just for blogging. Oh how wrong you are

Wordpress for those who are not familiar with it is a tool used for blogging however it can be used for website creation. It is very easy to use and means that you can update your site very very easily form anywhere in the world. There’s no need to worry about html code, or packages such as DreamWeaver etc.

If you search online you’ll see a lot of people say that Google loves blogs. Blogs get ranked quickly and highly by the search engines. There’s a number of reasons for this:

• By their very nature blogs are updated more frequently than websites. Therefore the content is more up to date meaning Google will index and return more often.
• Within wordpress there is a tool that automatically “pings” (sends out a notification) to search engines and blog search engines to tell them that you’ve updated your site.
• Wordpress creates clean code when it builds your pages or posts for you.
• Wordpress allows you to tag all your posts and set them into categories which helps with your seo ranking

Now can you see where this is going? Easy to use, loved by search engines – why would you not use wordpress for your site layout?

For many it’s simply either not knowing about the possibilities of wordpress or being afraid to use the platform. Take it from me it’s the easiest tool to install and really easy to manage. Many companies will charge you for a content management system (CMS) when you don’t need to pay you can get it for free!
