For years, WordPress was used strictly by blogs, after all, that’s what it was built for. Recently, a lot of companies have started using it for their main website, and there are a lot of good reasons for doing so.

WordPress is very SEO friendly right from the start. Without making any changes, or adding any plug ins to WordPress, your content will be very search engine friendly, and easy to index. By adding an SEO oriented plug in, you can actually boost the SEO effectiveness of your WordPress site without having to hire an SEO firm, or a web developer.

Speaking of plug ins, if there’s a particular type of functionality you want your site to have, chances are a plugin exists to make it happen. Everything from playing audio files to adding a storefront can be accomplished through plug ins. Functionality that used to be extremely difficult to implement on a standard HTML website  can be up in running  quickly and easily through the use of plug ins.

Once the site is up and running, editing the content, or adding new content is extremely simple in WordPress. Each post and page can be edited  from  within WordPress, and if you can handle writing a document in word, you can write or edit a page in WordPress.

WordPress allows you to have multiple accounts set up that can make changes to the site. As such, it’s very easy to have several people working collaboratively on your website. This makes it easy for different departments within the company to edit different parts of the website.

The real benefit of WordPress is the money it will save you. After the initial set up, you won’t have to pay a designer to make any changes to your site for you. If you have someone tech savvy on staff already, you can even add new functionality through plug ins without having to get a developer involved. WordPress also saves you time by allowing you to make those changes as soon as the need arises, rather than waiting on a developer to add new content to the site for you.

WordPress saves you time, money, and allows you to add robust features to your website with a few clicks of the mouse, and it just keeps getting better as time goes on. What once was a piece of software created for blogging is now a robust content management system suitable for all of your website needs.
