3 Reasons Why You Should Use WordPress

WordPress is relatively easy to use

Anyone can operate a WordPress-powered website. You do not need to have a background in computer science or programming to learn WordPress. You can create a blog post or page with formatted text, images and videos without any need to understand html or css. WordPress has a very user-friendly dashboard which makes uploading images very easy. Its text editor is very similar to Microsoft Word, so if you can write using Word, you can just as easily create a blog post in WordPress.

Flexible website design is easy with WordPress

There are tens of thousands of WordPress themes you can choose from to use for your site’s design and layout. Thousands of them are absolutely free to use. Other, more robust themes that cost money are called Premium WordPress themes. Most of these themes range from $10 to $100 dollars; a very reasonable price. The point is you have a huge directory of choices to choose from. Again, you don’t have to know how to design anything in order to have a very unique and “slick” looking website. Simply take the time to checkout several different themes, upload the one you want and “tweak” it however you see fit.

WordPress plays well with all browsers

I have worked with companies who have developers build websites from scratch on either a php or asp.net platform. One thing that gets overlooked when building websites like this is browser compatibility. You see, browsers like Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, do not display websites using the same standards. On top of that, different versions of each website can display your website in a different manner; often times in a way that makes your site look and function incorrectly.

The core WordPress platform is built with this in mind. The many WordPress theme developers understand this as well and they develop themes that have gone through extensive cross-browser compatibility testing, thus you don’t have to worry about your site not functioning incorrectly in certain browsers.
