5 Benefits of Wordpress Websites

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - March 9, 2015 - PRLog -- WordPress got its fame as the best software for bloggers. Recently, however, WordPress has become the content management software of choice for non-bloggers as well. At Youtech, we highly suggest using a WordPress platform for the majority of our clients’ web needs. Below are the top 5 benefits of  WordPress websites.

1. WordPress websites are very user-friendly

Websites built with WordPress can be edited from virtually anywhere. WordPress is browser-based, which means you can login to your site through a URL on any Internet-connected computer, tablet, or mobile device. Aside from being easy to access, your pages, posts and images are fairly easy to edit, especially when compared to sites built in Dreamweaver, or comparable software. The technology is simple, therefore cutting your formatting time down significantly.

2. 100% customizable website design

Much to many people’s surprise, using WordPress will not limit you to the standard WordPress structure. WordPress websites are 100% customizable, and can be made to match any company image or brand. Through the use of the mass amounts of plugins made available through WordPress, it is also possible to incorporate seemingly any functionality to your website that you can dream up.

3. Blog capabilities are built-in

Let’s not forget, WordPress got its start as a blogging platform, so of course the blogging capabilities of WordPress websites are top-notch. As well as making the blog-posting process very easy, WordPress also gives you simple solutions for getting your recent blog posts on other pages, or in other places on your site. It is very common to see recent posts on a home page, or in the footer.

4. Social Media integration is simple

Social media is a great, free tool to reach your target market online. The main goal of a business’ social media page should be to alert followers of news, and direct them to your website for further information. Why limit yourself to that one route? WordPress makes it easy to pull your social media feeds directly to your website. This allows for reverse traffic as well. By integrating social media to your WordPress website, you can now generate more followers for your social media accounts through your website- and it’s easy to do!

5. WordPress is great for SEO

The code used to build WordPress websites is very clean. This makes it super easy for search engines to scan through and index the content. The easier it is for the search engine, the more they like it, and the higher your site will rank. Also through WordPress, every page, post and image can have its own meta tag keywords, description, and title, and be optimized for specific keywords, which is a recipe for phenomenal SEO.
