Why Your Small Business Website Should Be Powered by WordPress
I am going to make this post short and sweet. Basically I wanted to provide you with a quick list of reasons as to why you should be using WordPress for your small business website. While this post is really intended for those who have yet to create their website, if you already have a site up and running maybe it is about time you switch over to what I think to be the best CMS out there (no matter what the circumstance is).
5 Reasons To Use WordPress For Your Small Business Website
1. Costs
Business is all about money, so if you can save some while setting up your site, why not? WordPress is perfect. It is a very cheap solution since almost anyone with a brain can set up a WordPress site. All you need is a hosting company that has a 1-click wordpress installation feature, then one of those nifty WordPress themes that allow you to customize everything via the theme panel.
There is no need to pay a web designer hundreds if not thousands of dollars to create your small business site when you can get a really nice and easily customizable WordPress theme for under $100!
You can checkout some Business WordPress Themes.
2. Ease
As I mentioned earlier, WordPress is super easy to use. Not only will it be easy to set up a professional looking template, but it is also really easy to add pages, run a blog for your company, manage images, and keep your site up to date. In fact, you can get one of your employees that you’ve already hired to run the website - no need to hire an expensive web developer to set everything up.
3. SEO
WordPress is very good in the SEO department. Right out of the box, WordPress is very well optimized, but combine it with a solid theme and a good SEO plugin and you’ll have killer On-Page SEO.
4. Support
Need help setting up your WordPress site, adding new features or customizing it? No problem, there is tons of help on and off line – blogs, articles, forums, books and even video tutorials to help you with WordPress. In fact I have set up my own little WordPress Help Forum to help people out with their themes and other WP-related questions.
5. Plugins
Plugins are awesome. Basically, they are little enhancements that you can download for free or pay for them, and they add more features to your WordPress site. All you do is upload them, activate and you instantly add cool new features to your site. No need to hire someone to do it. And there is a plugin for virtually everything – ecommerce plugins, photo gallery plugins, contact plugins, social bookmarking plugins…you name it, it’s out there!
