Why is WordPress our Go-To CMS?

October 4, 2014

Easy. It’s easy.

Easy to use, operate and teach. We have dealt with virtually every blogging and Content Management Software out there, in existence, forever. Seen them all. Virtually all of them have their individual issues, yes, even WordPress. But few are as intuitive and easy to learn.

Pros.

Obviously, easy to use. Adding content is a snap, posts, snappier,

Support

There are literally thousands of tutorials, videos, articles, forums, blogs and other informational resources to guide you through all aspects of building and maintaining a WordPress website. With a simple question to Google, you have a vast array or technical resources to help you along.

Plugins & Themes

Thousands of plugins, some bad, some good, are available with WordPress. Yes, other management systems have plugins and modules too but they likely aren’t as robust or prevalent as what is available with WP.

Cons

Setup. Some themes or plugins require some setup – but that’s the case everywhere and likely won’t change – so not sure that this is really a “con” per se, but we need to fill the space…. so, if we had to choose something, this is it. Otherwise WordPress is really the top of the line software for website building and blogging available today. I wouldn’t expect it to go anywhere anytime soon but there may be a day when something better comes along – considering the amount of user participation is involved in WordPress that doesn’t seem to likely to happen in the near future.

Review: PHP Live Chat ★★★★

4 Stars for this chat system from GNTStudio. It’s quite useful and very easy to install. We’re actually planning to use it on our own website we like it so much. They lose one star because we had to modify a bit too much to get things to

A Blog you say, Like We Have Time!?

Well, it’s finally happened. A Gainesville Web Design Company made a wordpress blog and started posting to it in “third person” sort of way. Original, we know. We will hopefully have some interesting things to say between keywords, so just sit back, relax, and chew on some web

The Flour Pot Bakery has a new website.

NEW!! Sally is one of a kind and so is her business. She really takes the time to put out a quality product and we wanted to give her that same high quality standard with her website that she is used to. FPB has some fantastic bread –

CSS3

Lots of new fun with CSS3. CSS makes styling web pages a snap. Now CSS3, the third “version”, allows for incredibly robust styling possible. For instance, background gradients are a breeze when before developers had to create them as images or use CSS ‘hacks’ to accomplish those goals.
