Why You Should Use WordPress?
WordPress is a great script which often does not get the credit and appreciation that it deserves. When people think of WordPress, they think of it as just a simple blogging script like any other. But that is when you get it wrong. WordPress is not any blogging software, it is the BEST blogging software which is FREE. WordPress is simple, and we agree with that statement. But due to its simplicity, it is open to possibilities. We have seen WordPress being used in many ways and by some of the top businesses in the industry. It is a powerful tool with robust features. We have compiled a few reasons why you should use WordPress, in what ways you can use WordPress, and who is using WordPress.

Why You Should Use WordPress?

WordPress is an Open Source Software
WordPress is an Open Source software which means it is free! It maybe used on any personal, and/or commercial projects without costing you a single penny.

Why would you want to pay a company, a yearly license fee that does the same job as WordPress with a difficult user interface? Why not just hire one developer if you are willing to spend the cash and pay him/her as you need their service. Many high-end CMS requires “Seat Licenses” which means that you have to pay them per user who will be using it. On the other hand WordPress is free. It does not even require link backs links many other scripts do, but we choose to link back because we appreciate them.

User Friendly
WordPress does not require you to be an expert with computer knowledge in order to incorporate or use it on your website. Now a days, almost all web hosting services offer a one click install from their control panel. With the use of few tutorials online, you can do it yourself. If you want someone experienced to do it for you, we have a group of talented staff waiting here to assist you of installing WordPress and optimizing it for you for free (Free WordPress Setup)

Full User Registration
WordPress has a built-in user registration system that (if you choose) can allow people to register and maintain profiles and leave authenticated comments on your blog. You can optionally close comments for non-registered users. There are also plugins that hide posts from lower level users.

Cross Blog Communication and Search Engines
WordPress fully supports both the Trackback and Pingback standards. It notifies search engines and other top blogging services with the use of Ping-o-Matic.
