The key to a successful online business starts with a visually pleasing, functionally robust, and search engine friendly website. We have nearly 5 years of experience designing and developing corporate websites, microsites, blogs, and landing pages using WordPress, an open source publishing platform. We are such big fans of WordPress, it is the only platform we use!

Content Management That Is Free & Priceless

In the software development community, WordPress is a very popular content management system. The platform was written and is continually supported by an open source community dedicated to creating quality software with higher reliability, greater flexibility, and lower cost. In fact, WordPress is used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day. Fortune 500 websites are built on WordPress as well as corporate portals and individual blogs.

The Unique Value of WordPress

Probably the most compelling reason for choosing WordPress is its extensive template based system that supports advanced customizations in the form of integrated link management, metadata management for search engine optimization, posts and article tagging for blogging, and a rich plug-in architecture that enables users and developers to extend functionality easily and affordably.

Ease and affordability is further extended in WordPress’ Administration Panel, which makes content updates a breeze. Users can login to WordPress and quickly add new posts and pages, view blog comments, and review website statistics all within their dashboard. For many organizations, this alleviates the pain associated with updating and optimizing a website once it is published.

And, WordPress isn’t limited to standard PC use. Native applications also exist for Android, iOS, Windows Mobile & BlackBerry so users can update their websites on-the-go.

The best part? WordPress is free. Self-hosting WordPress requires a hosting provider (we can provide this if needed), registering a domain name, and choosing a theme; however, the platform itself is 100% free and is completely cross-platform, cross-browser compatible.
