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

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.

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.

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.

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).
