Creating WordPress Web-Sites
With the advance of the CMS platforms it became rather pointless to create web sites “on the foot”. By on the foot I mean that if you want to manually code a site or even a page, you must write the HTML code, CSS add some flash code for interactive content and related. Let’s take a look what is happening on the other side.
The “on the foot” method includes that you need to repeat the process for every page, and once you have a site that contains a lot of pages this just becomes a living hell. You need to know ftp and server stuff, upload every page manually, make links to each one manually. I’ll also mention that once you want to redesign your site you basically need to repeat the process starting from close to zero.
In order to surpass all the trouble connected to it, one is highly advised to use some CMS (Content Management System) to make a web-site.
WordPress CMS
The WordPress platform has millions of users, an excellent database of help and related issues, tremendous amount of plug-ins and a team that is constantly working on improving the code and features.
If you are someone who has minimal or no knowledge using and coding web pages I recommend you that WordPress is the way to go! It is VERY simple, interactive, and it’s flexibility is basically limited only by your creativity. You can use it to make a simple web site for your own presentations, make a large database of articles, blog, create a competitive commercial website… you name it!
The plugins enhance WordPress to the limits and it has an ever growing community creating plug-ins. When you need one, you simply browse the online database in the built in plug-ins page of WordPress, or you have it running in matter of seconds – literally.
The power of WordPress is present both in the plug-ins you can use, and also in the flexibility of the entire platform. You can customize everything: add your in-line code to the pages (HTML, CSS, PHP, Java…), mess around with the page looks by customizing the theme you use, and so on. All of these techniques will/are thoroughly covered in the WordPress blog section of this site, so you can simply choose the subject and get your answer.
WordPress or not to WordPress?
WordPress is a rapidly growing community of various people making various efforts to create web-sites for any purpose in question. The large flexibility and creativity freedom given to the final user is excellent and you can use it from day one if your knowledge of the world of web is limited, or either do a total customization of it so even experienced webmasters won’t recognize it’s a WordPress site at first glance.
So, you need a web-site of any type?
