Using WORDPRESS: THE MAIN BENEFITS

We’ve been crafting beautifully effective websites for over a decade, and using WordPress exclusively since 2007 – WP has been around since 2003 and is the most popular blogging software on the market.

Over the last few years, it has also become the content management software of choice for non-blogging websites. Check out our top 10 reasons why WordPress is so popular and why you should have WordPress along with OWL working for you!

WHAT IS WORDPRESS?

Simply put, it is a content management system that can run your website. This means you can log in from any Internet-connected computer and manages your site, direct from your browser or the dedicated app.

EASY TO USE

WordPress is very easy to use and has a great interface. Adding new pages, blog posts, images, etc. on a regular basis is a breeze and can be done quickly. Because the technology is so simple, time spent on formatting is greatly reduced.

UPDATING YOURSELF…

Once we have crafted you a beautiful website, using the drag-n-drop solution will make editing your site really easy. You won't need to learn any code, just use your browser to keep your site updated. You can create new pages or blog posts, format text, upload images (and edit them), upload documents, etc. all by yourself!

WORDPRESS SEARCH ENGINES LOVE OUR SITES

The code behind our sites is clean and simple, making it easy for search engines to read and index a site’s content. We build all our sites using WordPress Themes, and with the addition of selected plugins, this will ensure your content can be found with ease.

USING YOUR LOGO AND BRAND GUIDELINES

WordPress acts as the engine for your website. We can craft your site to use your logo, implementing the brand guidelines of your business making the look and feel of the site meet your needs.

A BLOG BUILT IN! READY TO GO?

Since WordPress was originally created as a blogging platform, we include a blog for your site as standard. The more you write, the better results you will achieve – especially within Search Engines. Keep your content engaging, to the point and on-subject! What’s more, you can display snippets of your blog dotted around your site, pointing people to relevant content.

EXTENDING YOUR SITE.

WordPress uses extensions called Plugins, which basically give your site extra features. So whether you want to add an event calendar, video gallery, Twitter Feed, Facebook Like Box or even an online shop – WordPress makes this possible. Some Plugins are even developed free without advertising, but for the more complex these can be purchased. Whatever you need we are here to help.

GROWING YOUR SITE

As your business grows naturally, so can your WordPress based website. WordPress sites are very scalable. You can have hundreds of thousands of pages or blog posts on your site and the performance of the site will not be compromised in the least.

HAVE MULTIPLE USERS!

WordPress can have multiple users, with differing levels of access. For example. an administrator of a WordPress site would have access to the entire content management system. But you could have a user just for the e-commerce side of your business, or just the blog – the choice is yours!
