Wordpress

WordPress (WP) has really moved the game forward for non-experts who want to maintain their own websites. Previously they had to either write their sites with clunky, proprietary site-builder software, or use expensive and difficult to learn packages like Dreamweaver which could require a understanding of often difficult to grasp languages and code such as HTML and CSS.

With WordPress the idea is that you worry about the content and nothing else, whilst somebody else supplies the theme and plugins for you. These can be paid for, or downloaded for free from sites
such as http://wordpress.org or theme clubs such as http://woothemes.com, http://ithemes.com
and more.

What WordPress also does is to make possible the building of a well structured website or blog
which makes the job of search engines easier. It provides an excellent platform for building
everything from simple blogs, to significant news platforms like http://www.spectator.co.uk. The
biggest limit is imagination, and the beauty of this system is that you get to spend less time fighting
your website and more time on being creative with your content.
