4 Reasons You Should Use WordPress
For why I build websites with WordPress, follow the link.1. WordPress can be set up in less than 5 minutes once you know how. The first time you set up a WordPress site, it will take considerably longer as you search for templates and plugins and learn where to put what. Once you have all of the features you want downloaded however, it’s just a matter of uploading, extracting, and activating everything. No matter how many sites you build with it.
2. No having to upload ftp files for each individual page. With WordPress themes, you can set it and forget it- only involving yourself with adding content and keeping up with comments (which can be turned off). HostGator and a few other web hosts have programs to automatically set up WordPress accounts for your domains.
3. Blogs get crawled and indexed in search engines faster than normal websites. Even if you’re building a static website using the “pages” function, the search engines only see that it’s on a blog platform. My google alerts often notify me of my posts within a day- sometimes within the hour.
4. You can use different themes/templates for different pages of your WordPress site. All you have to do is upload the new themes, and choose a different theme when writing your new page.
