Depending on whom you ask, some would not touch WordPress even if it’s the only option left.
Care to guess why?
Well, WordPress is a framework based on PHP, back then it was just a blog, it was a desired CMS, later it became a CMS and PHP has over two dozen frameworks today.
While WordPress is easy to use and attractive to sole proprietors and small businesses, one should not ignore the value of this framework for small to medium sized businesses (SMEs). A well-conceived and well-designed WordPress site offers an SME the ability to maintain content and update the site using its own staff and resources, thereby saving expense and time. Customers will enjoy fresh content and the business can satisfy its changing requirements and needs.
If you are an IT pro, or a blogger, you may know WordPress. It’s a very popular framework for content management systems (CMS), media sites, and even eCommerce. But, here’s the deal…you may have heard that, with the hundreds of WordPress themes, and easy dashboard interface, WordPress development is easy. And, for a simple application, that is often true. But, my friend, Lonnie can tell you what happened to him. He started simply and, as many small businesses do, his site and requirements grew and soon he was dealing with interoperability, upgrades, new widgets, a site redesign and new theme, and a variety of thorny issues that took up all his time and patience.
Lonnie had a business to run, and what he really needed was someone to redesign, upgrade and recommend tools and widgets and incorporate, monitor and manage on an ongoing basis.With a little help from his friend (me), Lonnie put his WordPress site in the hands of experts and focused on core competencies. His site is competitive, easy to navigate, generates traffic, is easy to update with fresh content, integrates with social network sites, AND is affordable.
Now that WordPress version 4.0 has been out in the market for a while, users, developers and the media have had some time to look at the new version and comment on the changes, new features and improvements. There is a lot to like about the new version of WordPress and, much to like if you are a developer who designs and executes projects for small and medium sized businesses.
As WordPress continues its evolution, it has gone beyond appealing to bloggers and sole proprietors and reached for a market that includes businesses looking to use this framework for content management and/or sales and marketing of products and services.
Let’s talk about WordPress and the world of CMS. Since this is the year of the Winter Olympics, I want to be clear that WordPress does not involve lifting stacks of dictionaries! Rather, WordPress Development Services can provide the key to content management system (CMS) and business success. You can ensure dynamic, fresh content, and quickly create and update site information, add products, categories, shipping options, pictures or descriptions, and sustain a fresh web presence and company image. WordPress can be integrated to provide interoperability with other systems and to achieve scalability and improved portal performance.
