What is WordPress?
WordPress is an open-source publishing platform that enables casual Web users to manage a sophisticated and highly-functional Web site.
WordPress originated as a blogging tool, but it has transformed into a highly versatile and powerful content management system (CMS).
Why do we use WordPress?
Simply put, it’s easy to use, it’s free, and it’s powerful.
Because WordPress is open-source, there are no licensing fees that you need to pay –– that helps keep our setup and renewal fees low.
WordPress is highly versatile, and its easy-to-use platform allows users to create dynamic Web pages. You can add or edit content on your site in a matter of seconds.
WordPress makes running a Web site easy. You’ll never need to use FTP, you’ll never need to use DreamWeaver, and you’ll never need to know HTML. WordPress has an easy to use text editor that allows you to format text and photos without any knowledge of coding.
WordPress makes it easy to integrate video, slideshows, audio clips, polls, and many more features.
WordPress is search-engine friendly. Its underlying structure will make it easy for your users to find your site using Google or any other search engine.
WordPress makes it easy to manage and organize a large amount of content. You can add as many links, stories, announcements, sports scores, photos, and videos as you want, and what’s most important is that all of your content will be automatically organized and easy to find for your readers.
The WordPress community has developed a vast repository of plugins. If there’s some functionality your site needs that WordPress doesn’t have, odds are that a WordPress plugin exists to give you that functionality.
We think WordPress is the best software on the market right now for building dynamic news Web sites, and once you use one of our sites, we think you’ll agree with us.
