WordPress Website Lessons – Part II
A couple of people asked me why I would use WordPress as the basis for the new Connexius LLC website. WordPress is well known as a blogging tool, but a web site? The answer is the same as why I use the iPhone (and suffer with AT&T), the apps! The WordPress development community is huge turning out useful plugins every day. There are plugins for traffic analysis, social networking integration, SEO tools, and much much more. As an added bonus I was able to create a panel that allows other people to modify the text within the website without having to change the actual website code. This is especially helpful when you want different people responsible for different pages of the website.
While I noted in Part I, developing using WordPress is not trivial, the long term benefits are well worth the investment.
