WordPress Makes Website Design Easy.
Most people are looking for website design software that would enable them to update the contents of their website on their own. This is mainly because most web design companies invoice large amounts of money for updating pages on websites that are already done.
But, there is a really groovy answer to this difficulty: WordPress.
WordPress is “Content Management System”, also familiar as CMS.
CMS website design or design software packages allow the website owner to update their website whenever they prefer to do so and as oftentimes as they want to.
WordPress is real uncomplicated to use and comes with galore great features.
First, WordPress is actually a blogging structure that is being utilised extensively for interactive web design, also familiar as Web 2.0 website design. This allows users to set up their blogs so that people can join and for a social network that can interact through comments, share experiences and even post content.
WordPress features a truly nice “Dashboard” that functions as a portal to access all the “Admin” features of the WordPress structure.
Posts – This is where you can add new posts to your blog or modify existing posts that were posted previously.
Pages – Here you can create all your web pages and modify them so they can be real fetching. You can insert anything from music to forms and video.
Media – With the new WordPress 3.3 you can add your media (photos, moving images, pdf documents etc.) with a drag and drop interface. This is real great! Big up to the WordPress developers.
Appearance- Here you can install new themes and set up the widgets that display in the side bars of the blog.
Comments – In this section you can approve or disapprove all the comments made by the visitors who read your blog entries and made comments. In most cases, the comments will not be published on the blog if you have not approved them.
Plugins – The WordPress plugin directory is a treasure trove of plugins that can transform any site into just about anything you require it to be. Simply set up the plugin, activate it and presto! You can get literally anything here, from photo galleries to modern quotation systems….if you can ideate it….there’s a plugin for it!
Tools – This is your WordPress toolbox and is utilised for obvious settings and tweaks.
Settings – In this dashboard you control how people will interact with your webpage. You also control your pages and the way they are seen by the search engines here.
As one of the top South African web design companies put it: “Web design will never be the same, thanks to WordPress”
Best of all, most web hosting companies supply WordPress absolutely FREE!
