There are any number of website building platforms, content management systems, and blogging software on the market and yet WordPress stands head and shoulders above the crowd.

Here are a few reasons:

1. WordPress is seriously user-friendly
   If you can use a program like Word, then you’ll be using and enjoying WordPress in no time! From adding and removing content, to uploading graphics & making regular website updates, our clients enjoy the ease of use that the simple and clean WordPress administration provides. There is a great tutorial website called, WP101 that we always recommend to our clients. We are also more than happy to provide hourly training as well.
2. Search engines LOVE WordPress
   Straight out of the box, WordPress is ready to embrace and be loved by the search engines. Its features and functions guide search engines through your posts, pages, and categories. This helps search engines crawl your website and gather the information they need to include your website within their results. WordPress even won over the head of Google’s web spam team who said it was a “…great choice, taking care of 80-90% of the mechanics of search engine optimization for you.“
3. WordPress is scalable

And WordPress, because it uses relatively simple HTML & CSS allows these devices to render your website in an easy to view way.
