Wordpress Development

WordPress is not just a blogging platform.  We use WordPress on a daily basis for managing our client websites.  Here is how WordPress explains itself.

WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.

So the first thing to understand is that WordPress is an open source platform. So the good news is that you have a very powerful and easy-to-use system at your finger tips and you don’t have to pay for any software, licensing or hidden fees.  But you will need someone to build it for you.

Some people ask why we don’t use Joomla, MODx or Drupal.  Our answer is that we do use these (Jivaldi.com is built under the MODx platform), but for most client projects WordPress is more than enough.  It’s simple interface and flexibility allows us to create a website and corresponding Content Management System (CMS) in a fraction of the time it takes us to build a custom solution.

You’ve come to the right place if you are looking to:

• Build a fully functional website from the ground up with a good CMS
• Take your existing design and build it into a good CMS platform
• Looking to extend your existing WordPress site
• Looking to build a custom plug-in(s) for your WordPress site
• Simply get a good website design and CMS

Another very important aspect of WordPress is that it has a significant developer community. This means that if something has already been built, in many cases can download it, tweak it and integrate it into your website in much less time (and less cost) than building it from the ground up.

Lost yet?

Don’t worry, just do some snooping around Google and you’ll find that WordPress is a very viable platform and there are a lot of fans.  As an example, we operate political campaign websites via the WordPress platform.

If you don’t understand what WordPress, what a CMS is or how it plays into your website.  Don’t worry.  Just understand this.

• WordPress will allow you to update your website from any Internet connection
