9. 1. WordPress = Simplicity:
Equation Mark Only
What are WordPress Pre-Eminences?
Yes, that’s true, WordPress and Simplicity are the synonyms, the
words with same meaning shades. You shouldn’t be a tech-guru or
coding-obsessed to create and manage a website on WP. Frequent-
ly those who run their web projects on WordPress core compare
its dashboard to that of visual text editor. And be sure, it’s not an
exaggeration – simple version upgrade procedure, full-site optimi-
zation, rich out-of-the-box features (plugins, categorise, settings,
SEO options) – everything is tidily arranged
10. 2. Breeze Content Adding
WordPress possesses visual text editor – WYSIWYG (What You See
Is What You Get). It means that you don’t have to be HTML-savvy
or manage your website content via FTP client software, means
that you don’t have to add the pictures to your post via FTP, but just
upload them via your user-friendly media gallery. You just click the
buttons to create blog post, new page, upload media files likes vid-
eos, image galleries, documents, etc.
11. 3. Extremely SEO-Friendly
WordPress, on its own, is a SEO-friendly CMS platform. It has a
clearly written code and scripts that are easy to read and index by
Google bots. Moreover, you may simply optimize every post, image,
or other files for search engines – you just add meta tags to almost
to all your content and set up SEO friendly URLs. And don’t forget
about the third party SEO tools. You may upload any free or com-
mercial plugin for better search engine optimization.
12. 4. From Small to Large
Web Projects
Many think that WordPress is just a plain blogging platform. It’s
true if only they speak about hosted WordPress.com. Now, the
self-hosted WP possesses the robust functionality and is able to
handle not just a simple blog, but a complex web projects. You may
easily create a website with a forum (you just need to install forum
plugin, for instance, the one like bbPress or Simple:Press, etc.) or
even online store with e-commerce plugin like WP e-Commerce,
WooCommerce, eShop, etc.
13. 5. Expandable Functionality
One more thing that makes WordPress the favourite website build-
ing tool is the ability to expand its functionality in accordance to
your demands and wishes. So, it’s possible to do with the various
plugins installation. Technically, you may differentiate the plugins
types into two – those which improve your site functionality (some
tools for your web page security, SEO options, etc) and those that
help you to optimize your website management (some text widgets,
image galleries, social bookmarking widget, etc).
14. Afterpiece
So, you should know, these are just the basic WordPress benefits and privileges over other web-
site building platforms. The real pleasure and enthusiasm of running a WordPress website comes
when you plug headlong into your site management.
