In Praise of Wordpress

Would you like to:

WordPress is a powerful yet easy to use CMS (Content Management System) that is used by over a quarter of the world’s top one million websites. It has become the most popular CMS of all time for small business sites.

Unlike older CMS systems the learning curve is gentle. The Admin area is simple to use, updates are quick and smooth and the site can be set to back up automatically and restored or moved to another server if necessary. Various plug-ins can add almost any functionality you can think of, from e-commerce to online booking systems to calendars, galleries and guestbooks.

WordPress also makes it easy to create responsive websites that adapt smoothly to display and function well on any device from a large desktop monitor through tablets to smartphones (see image on right).

Choices range from starting from scratch and doing it all yourself to getting one of the host of Wordpress specialists out there to create , host and maintain the site. Start at the level you feel comfortable with and take it from there. If you already have a site most competent web designers who know Wordpress canr transfer your existing content to a new WordPress structure.

All you need is some enthusiasm to keep your new site looking fresh and attractive.
