Ever since the internet became mainstream, small businesses have struggled to get their information out there. Each and every step of the way, small businesses have been one step behind other companies. Limited budgets kept companies from effectively getting the word out about their products and services. Numerous things have kept them from succeeding using the web including, lack of time, lack of knowledge or lack of reliable support. Any one of these items could bring a business to a halt, and unfortunately many companies have combined more than one of these causes to truly stymie your online presence.
A New Day Has Dawned
Nearly 7 years ago the web based software that would eventually become WordPress was born. Over the past 7 years the platform that was originally developed to run blogs has morphed into a powerful solution fully capable of running most small business web sites. WordPress is a fully functional software that separates your web site html & design from the actual content. That separation allows businesses to easily update the information on their web site, without knowing a bit of code. I think the team at WordPress says it best:
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 started as just a blogging system, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes, WordPress is limited only by your imagination. (And tech chops.)
Your Web Site, Now An Actual Resource
One of the top reasons we’re recommending small businesses use WordPress is their updating system. Content on a site run on WordPress can be performed from anywhere. Any computer or smart phone with internet access can be used to update a WordPress based web site.
Along with easy updates, WordPress is easy to optimize for search engines, simple to connect to social media sites, and can build a community within itself. While not perfect for every web site, it’s a great foundation for the majority of the small business web sites on the web today.
