Wordpress: Why You Should Leave Easy to the Professionals

It seems like the beginning of a joke, right? Two horses and Wordpress walk into a bar. Cue the snare drum. You must be asking yourself, “Why would I pay someone good money to handle something as simple and easy-to-use as Wordpress?” Or maybe you are thinking it is not worth paying someone for something you could do yourself. These are valid thoughts, but let me let you in on a little secret. Why is it worth paying professionals? Because people judge books by their covers. Let me show you what I mean.

You don’t have to be a Tech Genius to Use WordPress as a CMS

That’s the genius of WordPress—the ease with which almost anyone can download, set up, learn and use this content management system (CMS) to design, build and keep your site up to date. If you’re not using WordPress as your CMS, your website stress is too high, and here’s why:

  • You can download this CMS for free and then use it to build any kind of website you need.
  • You or anyone on your team who knows how to email and use MicrosoftWord can learn basic WordPress editing quickly. After the fast and easy set-up, download a theme, move contentaround whenever you feel like it.

The Success of WordPress

WordPress is one of the most efficient and productive blogging platforms available on the Internet. For example, people hosting Java often end up returning to, or discovering for the first time, WordPress. Its functionality and ease of use accommodates both new bloggers on the scene as well as those who have been blogging for years.

Both amateurs and professionals alike want their blog to appear attractive. WordPress offers literally thousands of themes that are unique, simple to use, and easily customizable. Bloggers can choose from one, two, or three columns, text styles, graphics, color combinations, and an endless variety of other details to ensure the blog suit’s the needs of the writer and the readers.

Is WordPress Killing Web Design?

It’s no secret that we are very fond of the WordPress platform here at Nicasio. We use WordPress on most of our web projects (unless of course another platform is a better fit for that particular project). Between the open source software from WordPress.org which allows anyone with minimal web knowledge to setup their own highly customizable blog/CMS and WordPress.com which allows anyone that signs up to create a new blog in minutes I have to ask – Is WordPress killing Web Design?
