6 Reasons Why WordPress is Perfect for Beginners
I decided to list the 6 main reasons why I feel WordPress is the perfect platform for small business beginners. Even if you have some knowledge of web design, as a small business owner you’ll find many other benefits such as how fast you can be up and running with little to no real learning curve, how affordable it is and how it can be expanded easily as your business grows.
6 Reasons Why WordPress is Perfect for Small Business Beginners….
#1 WordPress is Easy on the Budget – Besides the fact that the wordpress platform itself is 100% free, you’ll find that most of the extensions and themes are also free. So the only thing you are really paying for is your hosting and domain name.
#2 WordPress is Easy to Install and Set-up – Within minutes you can have your site set up and ready to go. If your hosting includes “Fantastico”, the installation can all be done automatically with no further knowledge of databases or installation process required on your part.
#3 WordPress is Easy to Customize – Do a quick search for “wordpress themes” and find one that suits your needs and tastes. Then simply install the theme of your choice within seconds . You can further customize it using widgets and plugins if you choose.
#4 WordPress is Easy to Expand – As your business grows and changes, so will your website needs. WordPress is scalable and can easily grow with your business. You may want to grow your own community or start selling your own products. Both (and others) are easily done through plugins.
#5 WordPress is Easy to Maintain – As time goes on, you’ll need to backup and clean-up. It’s so easy with wordpress! There are plugins that will allow you to automatically backup your database (a very important task) right from your admin area. And removing redundant plugins, links or content are a matter of clicking a button. No messy code to muddle through.
#6 WordPress is Easy to Add Content - content can be added in minutes from any computer with internet access, even your phone. It uses a WYSIWYG editor so you can write, edit and create beautiful content as if you were using Microsoft Word. Add images, audio files and videos directly into your posts and pages and create even more appealing content for your readers.
