Great to see you again! Thanks for visiting!
What is the one thing all websites have in common regardless of the type of site they are? Every site has to have CONTENT! Whether you are an online store, an online newspaper, a photo gallery, or a blog; your site won’t succeed without quality, informative content.
Content is simply the stuff that makes up your site; similar to ingredients are the stuff that make up a recipe. Just as with any good recipe, ingredients have to be added in the right order and the right amounts for the recipe to come out just right; so it is with content on your website. You want to be able to create a site that has the right information, in the right quantities, at the right locations. Do this and you have conquered the world of CMS, otherwise known as Content Management System(s).
Using WordPress for your CMS is equivalent to picking the type of oven you are going to cook your recipe in. Some may prefer gas or electric ovens, others like the microwave. WordPress is your microwave choice when it comes to CMS. You are able to add content to your site quickly and efficiently, but may not be able to add all the bells and whistles. WordPress certainly has many opportunities, but just as you cannot cook all things in a microwave, you cannot make all applications work with WordPress…yet.
Advantages of WordPress as a CMS
The main advantage of using WordPress as a CMS is the ability to choose pages verses posts within your content. A page is a place where you will store static information, such as information about the company and owners, or a sign-up/contact form for visitors to your site. Pages are not meant to be changed on a regular basis; for that purpose it makes more sense to create a post.
Post pages can be created for either a single or multi-post format. You may include categories, archives, or multiple posts to be displayed. Their purpose is not to remain static, but to update on a continual basis. These post pages are perfect for bloggers.
Another benefit of WordPress is that you can have a static home page with post-pages behind it. The front page that your visitors will see when they login will always be the same, and then they can click within your site for updated information, articles, or blogs.
This brings us to another great feature with WordPress as a CMS. The site administration is very user friendly. As the site owner you may go into your control panel and assign different types of roles for individuals contributing to your site. If you have several writers you can enable their role allowing them to post articles only. Likewise, you may have several site administrators or site accounts.
WordPress also offers many widgets, plugins, and themes to help you create or brainstorm for your site content. Themes can be altered with the installation of plugins, making the site uniquely yours. Further, you can add other options to your site such as an online store, links to other sites, comment cards, or even polls.
Regardless of the type of site you choose to build, WordPress is your best choice for easy content management with the endless possibilities it provides.
