What type of website do I need? Part 2

There are many different platforms to choose from when deciding on your website needs; in this second part I’m going to show you about WordPress.

Wordpress Web Designer

WordPress, is a bit like Joomla in many ways but is primarily used as a popular blogging platform. Again without getting too complicated it will allow the end user (you) to make your own changes and updates without too much of a learning curve. It can be used for all sorts of applications but favoured by many top online marketing gurus to grab the attention of search engines.

WordPress can be used as a blogging platform or a website but the best thing about using a blog platform like WordPress is that you can get instant feedback from your readers or clients/potential clients; this can be invaluable marketing information for your business.

Any company with an online presence worth their salt will also have a WordPress blog set up, or at least something similar.

Here’s a short video explaining how it works.

Ok so you can see just how powerful this can be and even more importantly you don’t need to know any HTML mark up or have any special skills to look after and grow your WordPress blog/website.

If you wanted a bespoke look you will need to get a web designer to build and code your template to work in WordPress, prices can range from £150 and up depending on your requirements. Free templates are ok but if you need to stand out from the crowd I highly suggest a custom template that fits your business or corporate look.
