Why It is So Advantageous For Entrepreneurs To Use WordPress Themselves
As a brick and mortar an entrepreneur, I knew zilch about site creating only one year ago (Feb./09).
In Feb.09 I decided there was a huge opportunity on the world wide web for offline business owners. So I started researching designing internet websites.
Until that time, I had paid for 2 websites; however, you get what you pay for. I went the cheap route and ended up with terrible blogs that did nothing but cost me money.
Little did I realize that there are so many options for building your own internet websites. I hunkered down and built several ”practice websites” to see what was best for me. In the end I chose WordPress.
My top 12 reasons business owners should learn and use WP for their business web sites.
1. Ask yourself why do you want to build your own internet websites. I knew the web was the future for business so I figured it was so necessary I better learn developing up my business on the internet.
2. Cost-savings: stop spending thousands each and every year on new internet sites and/or search engine optimization. It’s not hard to learn and once you understand Website optimization, you can do it right way for your business.
3. After researching how some business owners did so well going on line, I understand that I too could enjoy huge growth going on line in a big way. I was right; I’m growing big time as a result of my aggressive online marketing campaign.
4. WP practically free. The WP software is free. Many themes (i.e. templates) are free. All you need to pay for is hosting, which costs less than $7 each month. That $7 per thirty days with good services will let you host a limitless number of sites.
5. Speed. It is difficult to get a internet site platform that will get site up as fast as WordPress. Moreover, adding content is snap. Small and big web sites take no time at all to put up once you know what you’re doing.
6. WordPress is open-source; many people contribute all kinds of cool functions and designs to it – much of it free. It’s an ever-evolving platform that is developing exponentially. Arguably, the WP community is driving website design.
7. Unlimited capability. You want a contact form, pick from numerous free designs. Want twitter widgets – start shopping. The point: you can add in each and every one kinds of cool functions that cost you nothing or very little. There are plugins for almost every need.
8. It doesn’t get much easier than WordPress. Seriously, once you get it installed, you are looking at a very simple user interface within which you control the development of your web site. Of course if you know coding you can do some additional customization, depending on the theme. However, to get a decent web site up, you do not need to know coding.
9. Search engine marketing is a no-brainer (as long as you understand search engine optimization). What I mean is the major search engines like WordPress sites (I’ve read that anyway); more importantly, the plugins for SEO are simple, free, and make optimizing your web page so much easier than regular html or other style of web sites.
10. Unlimited Website styles. Whether you need a corporate site, e-commerce internet site, a news internet site, etc., WP delivers. Again, it’s every in the WP theme you get that will help with your internet site style, layout, and functionality.
11. Content Management System. What this means is it’s easy to add content. Without a doubt, WP is one of the easiest website platforms for adding content – whether images, videos, articles, etc.
12. If you really want an awesome website, shop for the premium or paid themes. They aren’t that expensive but they offer the most ”out-of-the-box” customization – in addition to being very well coded and very stylish.
Take it from someone who has tried numerous blog builders, blogging platforms, and hired web site designers; WordPress is the way to go. If you can, consider a premium WordPress theme, especially one that uses the parent/child WordPress framework. You won’t be disappointed.
