The Benefits Of WordPress As A Website Platform
A WordPress platform is highly recommended for a number or reasons, here are just a few:-
- A WordPress-based website is SEO friendly and can easily be optimized for the search engines See some of the websites I have built and promoted to the top of Google.
- The content can easily be added to or edited by the owner from a
Control Panel. No separate software or technical knowledge is
required. There are videos below showing how easy this ‘Content
Management System’ is to use.
- The functionality of the site can easily be extended by the use
of what are termed ‘plugins’. If a new feature is needed on the
website then there is probably a plugin that can provided it.
- The layout and look of a WordPress website is determined by the
‘Theme’. There are many ready-made Themes available and most of
them are free. You can very quickly set up a great-looking website
in minutes just by installing a Theme.
- WordPress is being constantly improved and updated with great new features.
- WordPress offers much better comment management on the back end, and just added comment threading as an option.
- WordPress only shows real trackbacks, not those annoying fake ones
that show up on practically every Blogger post ever since they added
their new blogroll widget.
The Disadvantages Of A WordPress Platform
- If you use too many plugins, they can slow the site down
- Not easy to format Tables and Graphic Images
- Can’t be used for Database Driven websites with complex search boxes, e.g. like rightmove.co.uk
- Because WordPress is being constantly improved and updated with
great new features, it is necessary to upgrade on the website periodically. Not a great issue, but the plugins then become out of
date and you have to update those also. Not a big issue, but some admin
overhead you have to attend to.
