WordPress Tips

That’s true. WordPress now powers over 40% of the websites on the internet. And, that percentage continues to grow. It is the preferred platform for enterprise websites, complex portals, simple blogs, websites for SMEs, and much more. Website developers even use WordPress to create applications.

Those facts alone should speak for themselves. It is why NOYO Web Development prefers WordPress to other platforms. WordPress is clean, concise, and simple for users and publishers. Yet, it offers a robust platform that developers can use to build highly complex sites. This gives WordPress incomparable flexibility.

Below is a list of the most common features of WordPress. Still, you can choose from thousands of plugins to adapt your WordPress website functionality. You can access the code to change it however you wish. And, you can do this without paying licensing fees. That’s the other beautiful element of WordPress. It’s free while being the best available.

Here are some of the best features:

Flexibility

You can create any type of website you want: a business website, a personal blog, a professional portfolio, a photoblog, a magazine or news website, a network of websites, an online community, a government website, and more. You can make your website beautiful with themes, and extend it with plugins. You can even build your very own application.

Simplicity

WordPress is renowned for its simplicity that enables you to create a site and start publishing quickly. WordPress eliminates all the roadblocks that can stop you from getting your content online.

Publishing Tools

WordPress makes it easy to manage your content. You can create drafts, schedule publication, and look at your post revisions. Make your content public or private, and secure posts and pages with a password.

Publish with Ease

Creating content with WordPress is as simple as creating any document. You can create Posts and Pages, format them easily, insert media, and publish with one click.

User Management

You can designate the access users have to the website. Administrators manage the site, editors work with content, authors and contributors write that content, and subscribers have a profile that they can manage. This enables you to have many contributors to your website, and let others simply be part of your community.

Media Management

A picture says a thousand words. Photos do drive a lot of SEO on the internet, which is why it is so important to easily manage and organize your media. Drag and drop your media into the uploader to add it to your website. Add alt text and captions, and insert images and galleries into your content. WordPress also offers some image editing tools for even easier management.

Simple Theme System

WordPress comes bundled with three default themes, which are beautiful and easy to customize. If you prefer something else, the theme directory contains thousands of themes to create a beautiful website. Or, you can upload your own pictures easily.

Extend with Plugins

WordPress offers features for every user. For every feature that’s not in WordPress core, there’s a plugin directory with thousands of plugins. You can add social media widgets, social networking, complex galleries, spam protection, SEO tools, calendars, forms, and much more.

Search Engine Optimized

WordPress is optimized for search engines right out of the box. For more fine-grained SEO control, you can choose from many SEO tools in the plugin directory.

WordPress Comes in over 70 Languages

WordPress comes in over 70 languages. If you or the person you’re building the website for would prefer to use WordPress in a language other than English, that’s easy to do.
