Many people associate WordPress with blogging, many people have their own WordPress blog. But WordPress is so much more than a blogging platform.

WordPress is what is known as a CMS or content management system. The back end of the platform is very easy to use, with users being able to flick between ‘Visual’ views (much like a standard Microsoft Word view) and HTML. This means that WordPress is an accessible and easy use base for websites. In fact some of the biggest companies in the world use WordPress as the foundation for their websites, including Sony, The New York Times, CNN and Mashable.

The possibilities with WordPress are vast. People with less website design and development experience can select themes and build a site with a readymade design. Designers are able to build in their own bespoke coding to make the WordPress site look and behave how they want.

WordPress also have the ManageWP application, allowing developers and business owners to manage more than one WordPress website at a time. This is a great application for those with multiple business outlets or projects, and much like a social media management system, allows the user to streamline their activity, promoting efficiency.

As one of the most user-friendly platforms WordPress delivers a much better experience for those with little or no website design and development experience. WordPress allows the internet to be an accessible place for all and provides a great place to set up your online shop front window.
