Selecting a Platform for Your Website

Many people who are starting a new blog or website ask themselves what CMS they should use to get the most out of their design and functionality. WordPress is a great choice, because it allows you to create templates, drag and drop widgets, and customize settings just by editing a few files. You don’t need a degree in computer science to do it either!

3 Reasons Why You Should Choose WordPress

1. There a plenty of free templates to get you started that don’t require you to edit any code, of course the downside to this you may not get exactly what you want out of the template.
2. There are plenty of plugins that are available for you to use, some free and some are paid. With so many plugins you are able to create awesome features on your site.
3. Hosting is much cheaper because you don’t have to have a lot of resources to load all your content.

Getting Started with WordPress

If your unsure where to start, the first step is to get with a hosting provider and setup WordPress on the server. Once you get that done, you can find a template that you like either by the template store or through a third party vendor. The last step is to start adding your content to the site, changing out images, text, etc. to make the site your own. All can be done very quickly and hopefully is easy for you to get done.
