    Lets talk about Wordpress

    Wordpress Logo

    What is Wordpress

    Wordpress is easily the most used, most accessible, web site development tool used by more websites than any other platform on the internet.

    Wordpress provides the platform for anyone to make their own websites, CMS (Content Management System, Online Store, Gallery or pretty much any other online presence you can think of.

    The great thing about Wordpress it that fact that is so widely used and supported, but it is also 100% complete free.

    Wordpress is Open Source, which means anyone can access it and make changes. It’s built using common system languages like MySQL and PHP and can run from both Windows, Linux and Mac computers and servers.

     

    What types of Websites can take advantage of Wordpress

    The brilliant thing about Wordpress is, you don’t need to know any computer programming languages to use Wordpress.

    Once you have installed Wordpress on your server, most web hosting company’s provide installations so no technical skills are needed, you will have a basic website ready to go.

    Then you just need to choose what type of site you want. You can use Wordpress as a:

    • Blog Platform
    • Business Website
    • Personal Site
    • Forum or Bulletin Board
    • Social Network
    • Membership Site
    • Special Interest Groups
    • Community Group
    • eCommerce Site
    • Job Board
    • Questions and Answers
    • Educational Site
    • Portfolio
    • Auction Site
    • Advertising
    • Marketing
    • Anything else you can possibly think of

     

    How can you make all this without any program knowledge

    Another thing which makes Wordpress so powerful is the use of Plugin.

    Plugins are little add-ons you can download from a developers websites or the Wordpress repository which seamlessly addon to your Wordpress website to give it extra functionality.

    When you start your Wordpress Website it will look very bland and lifeless. If you wanted to turn your website into a forum for example. All you would need to do is go to the Wordpress repository, click to install the BBpress, and you will instantly have a power Bulletin board website, ready for you to customise and people start using. No programming or expensive web development costs!

    You might also want to add a contact form to your Wordpress website.

    Rather than learning the programming PHP, you would simply install the Contact Form 7 plugin, enter your email address you want to receive emails and just like that you will have a contact form on your website.

    If you can think of it, someone would have already made it.

     

    Customising your Wordpress installation

    No one wants an ugly website. Fortunately, Wordpress has thousands of free templates called themes you can install on your website.

    Again, its pretty much a couple of clicks on the theme section of your Wordpress installation, choosing the best theme to suit your business and installing the one you like.

    Even after the theme is installed you can still edit it and make changes as needed. Some of the changes are as easy as dragging items around the screen and others will requires some CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) knowledge which isn’t very hard but a little of a learning curve.

     

    Do Wordpress Website Rank Well in Google

    Wordpress websites are built very Search Engine friendly.

    Saying that a lot of it will come down to you and your website and a whole host of other factors which can be very complicated for someone new to Wordpress and Search Engine Optimisation.

    But you guessed it, there is a plugin for that also!

    Enter, WordPress SEO by Yoast. This is easily one of the best Search Engine Optimisation plugin you can use on your Wordpress website to get into the nitty gritty aspects of making your Wordpress more SEO friendly so you do not have to.

     

    Ask Townsville Nerds.

    Basically Wordpress has got something for everyone.

    When you make a Wordpress website you will still need to purchase web hosting to store you website online somewhere so everyone can see and access it. You will also need to buy your own domain name such as www.townsvillenerds.com.
