As Wordpress web design specialists, we really do love Wordpress. Let us tell you why…
Wordpress creates beautiful, clean, standards compliant code. It automatically generates paragraph tags, it convert special characters to the correctly encoded format, and even closes your tags for you if you forget. This helps your site render correctly in all major web browsing software, saving maintenance time and many a headache.
Wordpress functions extremely well as both a blogging platform or a fully-fledged content management system. Whatver you want it to do, it can be customised to work how you want it to. The template tags make code development and integration into an existing website extremely easy and intuitive.
Wordpress is completely open source. That means you can edit the code to suit your own needs as much as you like, meaning that if you don’t like the way it works, you can change it! It also means that the wordpress using community are free to develop their own plugins for everyone else’s use and freely distribute them. All you have to do is download them, activate them and go!
The Wordpress admin dashboard is very nicely designed, and very easy to learn. Categorising posts is easy, as is post tagging. Adding images is also highly intuitive. The dashboard provides an easy to use media library, and lets you choose the style and size of images before they are added to a post.
Wordpress creates nice, search engine friendly code. This helps your site get ranked higher, and takes some of the work out of search engine optimisation.
Overall, Wordpress is a great choice for anyone looking to easily and regularly add new content to their site.
