Content Management Systems have become a crucial part of web design and development in the years leading to 2009. Now more than ever, people want 100% control over their web site’s content, and WordPress is able to deliver. WordPress has become a huge player in the world of OS CMS … But what makes WordPress so good? That’s definitely a question we’ve come across frequently, so let’s square off a few things.

Large Community Support

We don’t think there is anyone who can dispute that WordPress’s community is huge, to say the least. The extremely active community is a great backing for the clean-cut easy-to-use coding that WordPress is built on. When you get stuck, it’s not for long… all you need is a quick search of the forums to get you on the right path.

Plays Nice With SEO

When building a site, especially a CMS site, SEO must be kept in mind. Some blogging systems make all of your posts and pages numbers and letters that you have no controll over. WordPress uses unique methods to give you a huge advantage in SEO, including friendly permalinks that can be structured however you like!

Plugins And Themes

Tons of extras can be easily added to your site with a few simple clicks. You can redesign the entire layout by simple uploading a theme and activating it. The support for themes and plugins has never been bigger and with companies like StudioPress providing premium themes, the possibilities are endless and your site doesn’t need to look like it came from a cookie cutter!

User-Friendly

The best part of WordPress is that the admin area is ridiculously easy to use. If you can type an Email, you have all the skills necessary to completely manage your entire site. The admin area is equipt with an easy to use content editor that makes adding and managing content a breeze.

Although there are many CMS products on the market, in our opinion, WordPress takes the cake, by a long shot.
