- Ease of use – This goes beyond the layout and content within the Administration to include WordPress Theme development and Plugin development as well as documentation. With standardised support for ‘shortcodes’ and ample instructions it’s childs-play.
- High quality themes – WordPress has 1,100+ free themes available on WordPress.org alone. This doesn’t include premium themes and theme communities like Woo Themes and Theme Forest.
- Plugins galore – As they say on the WordPress site, “Plugins can extend WordPress to do almost anything you can imagine”. Unlike other Open Source website platforms WordPress truly does have a Plugin for most scenarios; 8,200+ and counting…
- E-Commerce – WP e-Commerce dominates over Joomla’s Virtuemart and DotNetNuke’s e-Commerce in simplicity of product management and general store maintenance. With WP e-Commerce’s near integration of Products as a custom Post type this Plugin is going to be even easier to work with and customise for store owners.
- Up and running – Joomla and Drupal sites aren’t built to start running when they hit the ground, with WordPress you can submit your site to search engines and start building a regular readership from nothing.
- Blogging – It’s what it was made to it, it’s just a perk that it’s a great platform for websites too!
