The Benefits of WordPress

Here at Cleveland Web Design company Go Media, we are pumped about WordPress CMS. It’s our go-to – super-reliable, always there – a total constant. Yep, it pretty much makes us do cartwheels.

Here’s the thing.

We believe in WordPress, because we really feel it will serve as an excellent foundation to obtain your goal of simplifying website administration, publishing exactly what you want, improving User Experience and more.  All without compromising quality, usability and accountability.

What is it and Why it Rocks

The WordPress CMS is a user-friendly administrative tool that will allow your staff to make frequent updates and changes to the website without needing an experienced developer. Some key features (from WordPress.org):

• WordPress is a standards compliant platform that works with current browsers and is continually updated to work in future browsers as well

• Easy to use, making content management simple and fun

• Pushes your site rankings to a new level based on its core structure

• Update content and keep everything in one website, such as your homepage, blog, and any other interior pages (About, Contact, etc)

• Allow users to register and leave comments that you will be able to approve before they go live on your site

• Establish various author roles where each can have different roles, permissions and administration privileges

• Easy, automatic application upgrades
