WordPress is a CMS
WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) software that helps you create, edit, and update the content of your website. It makes it easy to manage pages, blog posts, and media like photos, audio files, and downloads.
If you know how to use a word processor (like Microsoft Word, or Pages), and are comfortable moving files around on your computer, you’ll find managing content with WordPress a breeze.
WordPress Powers 40% of all websites.
There are many Content Management System options available today, including Joomla, and Drupal. But WordPress has the largest user-base of them all, powering 40% of all websites! This huge user base, combined with an active WordPress development community has created an environment where high-end, powerful websites can be owned affordably by anyone.
From BC businesses like QuickMobile, and Famoso, to government websites like Small Business BC, to websites with millions of monthly visitors like Bloomberg, StarWars.com, and Forbes.
The bottom line: Using WordPress means you’re in good company.
Free. But priceless.
CMS software used to be an expensive, enterprise tool for big-budget brands. But thanks to GPL software licensing, anyone can launch a world-class website. Under GPL WordPress software is free to download from WordPress.org.
SEO friendly.
Making websites SEO friendly can be a complex task. But WordPress is built for SEO. Web developers have full access to the code — a definite SEO advantage. Plus, WordPress provides tools to manage on-page SEO – without code – out of the box.
