“WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.” (Taken from wordpress.org)
Why is it so fantastic? Here’s a few reasons:
- It is totally free! No upfront licence fees, no support fees – download and go!
- It is an Open Source project, which means there are hundred of people developing it. Bugs are destroyed in rapid order and software updates are regularly available.
- It has plugins galore. Plugins are a way of extending the functionality of the software. Want to add Google Analytics to your site? Or enhance your SEO? Or sell Amazon products on your site? There’s plugins for all of these and much more. All for free.
- WordPress is simple to use. Sure, you can buy more complicated software, with more “features”, but will you ever use them? And how many nights will you have to spend learning before you can do what you want to do? WordPress is a doddle, yet still gives powerful results.
- You can use WordPress to blog or for a more conventional website (or both). It is easy to create custom themes or pick from one of 1000s of free themes available for download.
