WordPress

So what exacly is WordPress ? If we’re going to quote directly from WordPress then:

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. - WordPress.org

That’s all well and good but we need to explain some of it’s uses and also the possibilities it has for you and your business.

What do we think it is ?

WordPress can be best described as blogging software.  Our personal experiences with other blooging packages has lead us to WordPress for it’s ease of use and almost limitless customisation.  Blogs or Weblogs were originally created to be used as online journals.  Boy have things developed since then.

Some of the main things we love about WordPress are:

• It’s easy to use
• It’s widely recognised
• Themes can be developed to change the sites look at the click of a button
• You can have multiple users
• Password Protect pages and posts
• the list goes on…..

How will this help your business ?

WordPress is so quick and simple to use that we can very quickly deploy a blog either built in to your website or on a seperate domain name.  User accounts can be set up for your employees with different permissions so that they can start posting articles about your business.

A blog can enhance communication betweeen your business and your consumers. You can keep them up to date with industry news, product launches, special offers and pretty much anything you can think of

To give you an idea of the amount of business and individuals blogging:

• In December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs
• As they are becoming more and more popular there are search engines dedicated to blogs and bloggers (like Google Blog Search)
