There are many benefits to using WordPress over other content management systems (or CMS) . Other CMS systems such as Drupal and Joomla have there own benefits but for the everyday users WordPress is often times the best and most beneficial. Besides being much more user friendly than the others there are some other tips and benefits you must know about WordPress.
- Budget Friendly – WordPress is definitely affordable as it is a free software. Even if you hire a web developer to complete your webpage all you should be paying for is the integration portion of Word Press which still should be fairly cheap. The other thing you must remember if downloading Word Press on your own is too download it from the site WordPress.org not WordPress.com. The reason is that on WordPress.com you must use their domain and by going to WordPress.org you can integrate it into your own domain. This is very important to remember as you will definitely want to use your own domain.
- Easy to add content – As I had mentioned in other blogs a big part of SEO is lots of updated content. WordPress makes it very easy to add new content. If you can type using Microsoft Word you will be able to use WordPress. WordPress makes it easy to keep up with your website and you can have just about anybody on your staff write content.
- Categorize your post using categories and tags – Keeping your website looking clean has never been easier but you must remember to use the categories and tags to properly place your content on the site. This will make it much easier to keep the architecture of your site looking good which will in turn help with your SEO and make it easier for Google to read your content.
- Interaction – Using WordPress comments will allow visitors to comment on your blog posts or other content that you have written. This will create interaction with your customers and keep them coming back to your site. People love to post their opinions and then hear what others have to say about the comment. Just look at what makes Facebook popular today. There are a lot of people posting comments just to get responses.
