Product Details

What is WordPress?

Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.

Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

It's a very flexible platform that can be tailored to suit the needs of many sites. There are easy to add plugins aimed for everyone from beginners to more advanced users. The dashboard is a useful feature when set up correctly. There are plenty of guides available online to help you with most aspects.

WordPress has to be the most user-friendly web-editing and content management system I have ever used for an application that allows me to fully run and manage a website on my own domain with no licensing costs.

There are other website applications available that may be easier to use, but most of these require users to run their websites on the application's domain, not on their own domain.

One of my core beliefs is that businesses should grow their own assets online, not someone else's. WordPress is not only very easy-to-use once you learn how, but it also lets you publish unlimited content on your own site, and hence, continually grow your own asset.

It's a sophisticated but easy to use piece of software. Many of the content addition pieces are familiar from other pieces of software so there isn't a huge learning curve. And for new areas, there is a lot of info on WordPress.org as well as other WordPress help sites.

For basic content management, web page administration, menu control it's wonderful. The plug ins for Salesforce and Pardot are really terrific especially the lead management web form integration from Pardot - very effortless.

I think that many people can use WordPress easily but not everyone is able to. WordPress is still be a little overwhelming for some. Everyday, WordPress is improving it's usability and that's what makes it such a great platform to use for business and personal websites. I think serious business owners will take the time to learn to use it.

WordPress is by far the most usable system I have come across in over 10 years of using and evaluating it and products like it. It is easy for clients to learn, easy to build with, and easy to develop extensions too. The community and variety of themes and plugins that are available make it even more valuable.

WordPress is very easy. If your quick at picking things up, just having a look round the WordPress dashboard and going through the menu options will teach you allot. If you need a bit more help, then there are many free tutorials, videos and support forums out there to get you started.

WordPress itself is extremely easy to use. Unfortunately, the quality of some of the plug-ins varies, so you have to do a lot of trial-and-error to get the results you require. I have found that paid, professional themes and plug-ins are much more reliable - worth every penny if you want to get a website up without a lot of tinkering.
