Wordpress CMS vs. Static Pages

There are many reasons why a WordPress site is better for you than a traditional static site. The main ones being:

  • blue-xlYou don’t have to call up your web person every time you want to make edits to the content
  • Super easy to upload photos, videos, music, documents, etc…
  • It’s optimized for search engines from the get go.
  • Add and remove pages easily from the admin panel and the links take care of themselves
  • Ready-to-go communication system via comments and RSS
  • Thousands of plug-ins to enhance the site’s functionality

Although WordPress is well known as a blogging platform, you don’t have to include a blog section in your site, it can be purely undated pages. Virtual Impax just published an informative and informal little post about whether a blog is a good idea for your business too.

I just made a small site with relatively few pages based on a free template. It’s for The Other CafĂ©- a SF comedy club’s page for an upcoming reunion. It features a gallery, submission forms and a fair few custom graphics. As articles are submitted it will grow and is now ranked #1 on Google after a few short weeks for the search terms: (The) Other Cafe, a testiment to WordPress’s impressive in-built SEO.

I definately agree that wordpress, and other platforms that utilize RSS are taking the internet to a new level.
