Why I Love WordPress

I am a WordPress advocate for many reasons and that’s what I want to talk about today! Back in 2012 I wrote a blog post on my company website Lucky Dog Consulting about “Why I Like WordPress“. I don’t just like WordPress I love WordPress!

WordPress used to be a software you used to create a blog but it has grown into so much more! I love WordPress for so many reasons and I hope you will join the many users of WordPress once you find out how powerful this content management system really is!

As a web professional I started off hand coding static HTML websites and through the years I have used a variety of content management systems for the websites that I have either created or maintained. However, none of them have been as flexible and easy to use as WordPress!

Here are some examples of why I love WordPress:

• WordPress is easy to install
• It has an endless number of themes to choose from to design your website the way you want it to look
• The ability to add dynamic functionality to your website through plugins
• The community of users & developers that are always working to help others in the community
• The constant work that goes into to improving WordPress to move it to the next level
• The ability to create websites for others that will give them a professional web presence
• Empowering others to maintain their own websites without having to learn code

WordPress is so much more than a blog. You can build small to large scale websites with it that are user friendly and dynamic. WordPress is currently being used by not only bloggers but large enterprise companies!

Take a look at some examples you might be surprised to see:

• The Jane Goodall Institute
• The Clorox Company
• Canda.com
• San Francisco Examiner
• Dole – Get Up and Grow
• Alanis Morrisette
• Mercedes Benz
• The New York Post
• Time
• Travel Oregon

WordPress is not just a blog anymore and if you can envision it you can create it with WordPress! The examples above really show how versatile WordPress really is! I just can’t say it enough, I love WordPress!

As you can see I REALLY do love WordPress for many reasons and I could go on and on but I think I should stop here. If you are interested in creating a blog or website for yourself you should check out WordPress.com and WordPress.org to find out more.
