Why WordPress?
Loads of internet users are searching for website design programmes that can enable them to update the posts of their website by themselves. This is mainly because most web design companies charge huge amounts of money for updating info on websites that are already published.
But, there is a really good resolution to this difficulty: WordPress.
WordPress is “Content Management System”, also as CMS.
CMS website design or design systems allow the website owner to change their web pages whenever they decide to do so and as often as they wish.
WordPress is truly elementary to use and comes with umpteen fabulous features.
Firstly, WordPress is actually a blogging structure that is being utilised extensively for interactive web design, also known as Web 2.0 website design. This allows users to set up their blogs so that guests can join and for a social network that can interact by using comments, share information and even post stuff.
WordPress features a truly easy-to-use “Dashboard” that functions as a junction to make use of all the “Admin” features of the WordPress program.
Posts – This is where you will add new posts to your website or change existing posts that were posted originally.
Pages – Here you can modify all your web pages and modify them so they can appear truly fascinating. You can insert anything from maps to event galeries and video.
Media – With the new WordPress 3.3 you can add your media (pictures, moving images, pdf documents etc.) with a drag and drop interface. This is truly awesome! Well done to the WordPress developers.
Appearance- Here you can set up new themes and control the widgets that will show in the side bars of the website.
Comments – In this section you can look at all the comments left by the visitors who saw your website entries and left comments. In most cases, the comments will not appear on the website if you have not authorised them.
Plugins – The WordPress plugin directory is a candyshop of plugins that can turn any site into whatever you need it to be. Simply set up the plugin, activate it and presto! You can acquire literally anything here, from picture galleries to sophisticated employment systems….if you can daydream it….there’s a plugin for it!
