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.

WordPress from 10,000 ft.

Simply put, it's great. I love it. I've been learning new things every day. As a developer, I want to find new ways to push something to the limit. My passion is pushing WordPress. More importantly, it's ideal for freelance side jobs for many many reasons, but still one of my favorite points I always bring up to people is it's free, open source, and has the largest community out of any other tool out there in the world today.

Using this product for 9 years now, while trying other platforms every now and then, allowed me to explore it very well. I've tried the free and the paid versions and both are great. However, if you're a beginner or a professional but don't care about advanced options go for the free version.

I've become comfortable using WordPress because it's a step in my ability to express myself with ease and effortless productivity. As a content management system (CMS), WordPress is what I would call a masterpiece of integrated, open-source genius. It's the answer to my organization shortfalls, the solution to my productivity goals and a gift to my customers for it's reliability.

While other options might be easier to use, they are limited as a result. Nothing else comes close to the capabilities of WordPress and the support community involved in it's continued innovation.

While the cost is low the amount of work and complexity in building a website that can generate leads is enormous and not for the faint of heart. There are far better solutions on the market today.

OpenSource tools sound great until you have a problem with them and try to find support. You have to go to five people to answer even the most basic question and four of the answers you get will be dead wrong.
