Content Management System (CMS)
A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires little technical skill or knowledge to manage.
WordPress as a CMS
WordPress is an amazingly powerful content management system that is FREE to use. WordPress was designed as a platform for blogging, but with some adjustments it can be used to run your website, with or without a “blog”. The fact that WordPress was designed as a blogging platform gives it some compelling advantages. It is optimized for easily publishing and changing content. And getting good search engine rankings requires fresh, unique content.
The key benefits are:
- Open source and free to use under GPL agreement
- Well supported by the developer community
- Good CMS functionality, suitable for many sites
- Excellent blogging functionality
- Lots of Templated Themes
- Thousands of available extensions and design themes
Benefits of Business Blogging
Blogs are now used by many businesses as a useful marketing tool because they are an effective way to communicate with target audiences. Having information that is frequently updated will ensure Web site visitors return to read new blog entries. In addition, many search engines love blogs so it can be a great way to generate fresh traffic.
