blogs-design-devonWebsites have become something of a mandatory accessory to companies and individuals these days. Everybody is going on about their new website, blog, photo gallery and Twitter account – it never ends. And because of this, there are so many different ways to approach getting a website, and so many systems you can use to power your website.

CMS. E-commerce. HTML. PHP. Database. MySQL. Joomla. These are just a few of the words that the jargon-spewing web industry cram into our lives on a daily basis. It’s overwhelming, especially if you are just looking for a simple solution so that you can be in with the crowd.

WordPress?

WordPress is the name of a piece of software that is used as a content management systen and popular blogging platform. In layman’s – it is something that exists on the Internet that allows you to easily add content to your website – hence ‘content management system’. There are plenty of content management systems (CMS) around on the Internet, each with its own pros and cons. WordPress is simply the one I feel at home with most, and the one I am most comfortable developing on. I also personally think that it is the best solution for any website that doesn’t have specialised requirements. If you just want to have some pages, pictures and downloads on your website, WordPress is definitely for you.

I only have a small budget…

That’s fine! WordPress is an open-source solution, which means the software is free to use. There are also so many free resources such as designs to customise the way WordPress looked, which can be installed in a few minutes. Because of this, the amount of time spent developing can be very small – and therefore costs can be kept very low.
