Benefits of WordPress Websites

What’s are the major benefits of having a WordPress website?

If you’re thinking about having a website yourself, you are probably asking that very same question. I could easily ramble on about technical things copied from forums and blogs, but that wouldn’t help anyone and would totally go against what WordPress is all about, simplicity and quality!

Instead, however, I can be honest and tell you about what I see as the benefits of a WordPress website, as an end user, not a web designer.

Firstly, our WordPress website, is easy to use. Very easy. We were in need of a content management website that we could easily control ourselves, and this ticked all the boxes. It looks good, it feels good, and does an ideal job. We chose WordPress because we needed to be able to update our website whenever we needed to. We wanted to be able to do this ourselves whenever we felt necessary, rather than having to constantly call a web developer asking them to change a list of things. Luckily for us, news, videos, blogs, testimonials and more can be added and edited in minutes!

Developed from blogging software and created by a professional WordPress Web Design team, the WordPress user interface is easy to use and takes only minutes to learn and master if given the right tuition. So, updating your WordPress website is a really simple and easy process, but what other benefits do WordPress websites offer you? Well here’s a swift little list of some of the most useful points:

SEO! – You can optimise your website easily by adding tags to all your pages and posts. Its also very easy to update regularly, and Google loves new content!

Customisation! – You can change the look and colour of your website in a few clicks. There is a simple editor which is easy to use, along with many different themes available.

Social Media! – WordPress is fully compatible with all forms of social media. Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, can all appear on your site.

A site for life! – WordPress is always being updated! If you want to add a new section, page, post, to your website, you can easily do it in a couple of clicks. Want a site that can expand and change with your business, this is it!

Integration! – Newsletters, online payment systems, social media, contact forms, E-commerce, WordPress has a plug-in for all those, and many many more.

7 Benefits of a WordPress Website

Personal Website Management

WordPress was originally used for personal writing, but it is now used extensively for content management websites. There are at least 7 benefits of a WordPress website.

First, it is free to download. Although it is free to download this program, you will have to pay a small monthly fee of about $10 to host your website. This is still very inexpensive to use.

Next, it is extremely easy to use this program. There are many sites that offer tutorials on how to use this program. So, if you can manage to use a word processing site, you can use this one as well. It is much easier than writing code or anything like that.

There are many thousands of themes that you can use to upgrade your website and make it your own. There are custom websites and templates you can use to make your website attractive. If you decide to change the way it looks, it is easy to do so.

Next you have plug-ins that you can add to your website. These can do many applications from site security to keeping track of how many people visit your website. You can add them easily, and most of them are free of charge making it cost effective as well.

Website search engines like the use of WordPress. If you use this as part of your site, then you will be able to maximize the number of people clicking through to your website. If they like you, then you will benefit by using this program.

Know that if you have any issues with WordPress, help is not far away. There is no email or call in features for this program, but there are many message forums or even paid repair people who can take care of any problems that you might have. If you go on the forums, you might be able to talk to someone who can help you without it costing you anything at all.

Finally, you have control of what you can do to your own website. You do not have to worry that if you do not like the way it looks that you will have to get permission from someone else to change it. You can change it daily if you want to. It is very flexible and cost-effective to use and makes a very professional looking website for you and your business.

Just be sure to realize that there are many types of websites out there. There are personal websites just for you to maybe write a blog, and there are DIY or do it yourself websites that you build however you want it to be. There are ways of updating your website that involve archiving or storing your data in order by the date it was written. There are content management websites that look at what is on your website and work with you to improve your content. Any website will routinely need website maintenance and you can do this yourself if you are able to or pay a professional to do it for you. It gives you peace of mind knowing that someone who is a professional can take a look at your website and check for things like viruses or any other problems. You can take courses online or at colleges to learn things such as how to maintain your computer and website. It is really up to you how much effort you put into your website.

Content Wizard Review For Blogging and Content Management

Business automation started out way before the net existed, but the wish to enjoy the advantages of it is felt by all of us. There are so many mundane activities we need to do on a daily basis. Also, employing automation is an excellent use of leverage that saves us a lot of time. That is time saved so we can easily devote to money-making activities such as marketing our offers. Today we offer a review of Leslie Bogaerts’ Content Wizard WordPress plugin. Content Wizard is a cool little tool that packs a lot of power in the form of benefits and features. Even so, as you will learn, this plugin is quite feature rich, and Leslie has already recently updated (at the time of this writing) an autoblogging enhancement.

Blogs are, in a word, time sucking web sites that can be aggravating if you do not have much experience with them. Most of us know the pain of doing everything by hand such as category creation, tag creation and manually uploading content. On the front end, you are able to post content with simply one mouse click with Content Wizard. But don’t worry about managing post location since you can designate specific categories for each post. So this means you will not just be posting to where ever, and you will realize your posts are going where they ought to be.

Let’s speak about a few additional features and benefits of Content Wizard. The vast bulk of blog owners count on search engine rankings for traffic. No more manual tag creation to stress with using Content Wizard. We are uncertain how that ability may integrate with your SEO related plugins, to be fair. But I consider you can have all your questions answered by Leslie about specifics.

Automating your content management is crucial for many, and there is much more readily available with this plugin. Certainly you will have the power to schedule all future postings according to time and date. Leslie has already recently upgraded Content Wizard plugin for autoblogging. We know autoblogging has been pretty hot for a good while, so that should be appealing to some of you.

If you’re drawn to using PLR material, or articles, then there is a little something here for you, too. You can forget about the issue with SEO and PLR content because you can make your posts unique to the bots. We may speculate how well this will be able to handle a human evaluation by search engines; so do keep that thought in your mind.

Additional goodies for Content Wizard consist of an unlimited license, and you can use on any number of your sites with no restrictions. Naturally the upgrades are free for life which is great albeit not uncommon. For site flippers, you can sell sites that include this plugin – so that’s a pretty nice aspect. Also, there’s no developers license required if you build blogs to offer as a business.

A Great Software plugin for any wordpress Set Up.
