Features and Benefits of WordPress
WordPress powers more than 28% of the web — a figure that rises every day. Everything from simple websites, to blogs, to complex portals and enterprise websites, and even applications, are built with WordPress. There are many CMS platforms to choose from these days. Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, and others promise to make building a website easy. While they do make the very basic tasks simple, they sometimes make it complicated to accomplish the slightly more advanced tasks necessary to ensure visibility in search results. We believe that showing up in those search results is one of the most important factors for your website to make your business phone ring.
Simplicity
The simplicity of WordPress makes it possible for our clients to get online and get publishing, quickly. Nothing should get in the way of getting your website up and your content out there. WordPress is built to make that happen.
Media Management
They say a picture says a thousand words, which is why WordPress was designed to quickly and easily upload images and media to your site. Drag and drop your media into the uploader to add it to your website. Add alt text, captions, and titles, and insert images and galleries into your content.
Search Engine Optimized
WordPress is optimized for search engines right out of the box. We routinely install the best SEO plugin available to help you make the most of your posts. WordPress makes it easy to let Google know what your site pages are about which increases the chances that Google will rank your pages for the keywords your client may search when they are about to buy.
E-commerce
WordPress + Woo commerce delivers everything you need to sell your goods and services right from your website.
