Wordpress Blogs as Full Blown Business Websites w/ built-in Content Management

It would be hard to argue that business is getting any less competitive in our era – especially on the internet.  99% of everybody would of course tell you the opposite, so now is the time to have high quality websites.  Now is the time to take advantage of technological improvements, and this one is big.  The website you are viewing now is a Wordpress Blog.  You can tell this a couple of ways, but to the untrained eye – this is just a good looking website.

 

Blog Theme Customization

RSS Feed + Great Blog Plugins = SEO and More

Wordpress comes with its own featureset including a file naming convention good for SEO.  The category and tag hierarchy also contribute; what’s more an SEO All-In-One plugin is available and standard on our New Year Blog Special.  The RSS Feed component of blogs is another SEO contributor that helps considerably.  It is basically a syndication of sorts where your content is pushed to blog content networks, picked up by blog distributors and ends up garnering traffic on its own.  Google crawls the site to determine its organic search rankings and all of those features add up and are somewhat easier to implement by the blog owner than they would be for the website adminstrator.

Business Blog Websites – The New Generation

The fact is this may be the best option for small businesses to get more options for less money than the prior build everything from scratch generation of web design.  This is an incredible shift in the industry.  We have been watching for point and click web design, which is coming.  Once a site is engineered, web design software like Adobe Dreamweaver can help you make edits easier, but it is complicated.  Plus, with CSS styling, Dreamweaver’s ability to display the site as you would view it in production diminishes rapidly.

Content management systems, including Wordpress Blogs, still require a significant setup investment.  But once they are up, the business owner or the secretary can edit and create all new pages, posts, news and links – which brings the power back home.
