Build a website in Wordpress, 10 reasons

November 25, 2007 Posted by Matt Lambert | Filed Under Blogs, Software 

Wordpress open source software used to be just for building blogs, but now its more than good enough to have your website built with.

You should.

For all my friends in small businesses, here’s my reasons.

  1. Wordpress can be used to create a website from scratch with no coding (with a little reading)
  2. Anyone can add pages, and this means more content, and more updates (no charge)
  3. Search engines care very much about content levels and how often a site is updated.
  4. Content is preserved, even when changing the look of the site (Thats what this Wordpress Content Management System actually does)
  5. Change the look, and all pages are updated, there’s no hard-coding. A website can live and breathe.
  6. Thousands of developers are working to simplify all sorts of advanced capability – e.g. Search Engine friendly stuff, statistics management! audio and video embedding, database and e-commerce functions.
  7. If you get stuck, any Wordpress contractor can pick up where you left off – easily
  8. It is a major bonus for a website to support RSS and blogs, for marketing, and with Wordpress, such rich functionality is built in of course.
  9. Websites are tons better when interactive - positive customer comments build trust and credibility and will increase conversions from visits to contact.
  10. It’s free to use

Forget the word Blog – just think of this as a way to replace that old website that looks like a brochure and to start a conversation in your marketplace, and hit those search engines.

Search engines can be trained to send only interested visitors through the use of relevant, specific content.

Credibility & Trust

Recognise that on the Internet, sales and marketing takes place in a low trust environment. So what your website 'says' about you and your services, isn't necessarily what a new visitor sees. Have us do a free quick review.
