How to make your Web site work for you. 2nd April - Liverpool.
Time to get blogging with WordPress folks! One of the best ways of getting visibility on the web is blogging.
How can you get people to visit your site and link to it? The answer: regularly post content to it that is interesting and useful. Blogging can be a very powerful marketing and SEO tool and WordPress is one of the easiest and most popular ones out there. It also outputs standards compliant code that is ready optimised for search engines. (more about SEO and being Google friendly).
One of the great things about WordPress is the number of plugins and widgets freely available such as site search functionality, contact forms, gallery managers - we could go on but you get the picture - it's extendable and very easily extendable. That means your site can grow and that's what SEO is all about.
WordPress is designed to be reskinned. You can choose from a directory of freely available themes, upload and change the whole look of your layout in one click. If you want a custom theme, we can do it and it is easy to do!
You have free access to a global community of WordPress users and developers through forums and message boards. There are downloadable manuals and support documents constantly being updated.
It started off life as a blog tool but a lot of people use it as a Content Management System. Why? Because it's so easy to install and use. It's standards compliant and extendable. Yes, if you are a large organisation you should probably use an enterprise level CMS like Drupal. We offer that too.
Installation is quick, it's easy to use and can be used on section of your site or can be used to manage the whole site.
Here's the great thing - WordPress is free! It's open source so you don't actually pay for it. All you pay for is someone to set it up for you. In some cases this can be done in half a day (whoops - now we can't charge for a month of development work - damn, how do I delete this, anyone?).
Our expertise lies in integrating WordPress with the look and feel of your existing site or even creating a new site from a custom visual and then installing WordPress behind it. As we have done this on so many sites already we're good at it and quick too.
