WordPress is an open source website building and publishing application which is availble at no cost under GNU licensing. The licenses for most software are designed to take away the freedom to share and change the software. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee the freedom to share and change all versions of a program – to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
WordPress is powered by “industry standard” PHP and MySQL and is also used for content management, so that keeping websites up to date with fresh content is made simple and easy.
WordPress has many features including a plugin architecture so that additional functionality can be easily implemented for almost anything you can think of – not just blogging, but also fully functional websites for commercial as well as personal use.
WordPress has a templating system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as custom themes that can be installed to make your website visually attractive for your target audience.
What Does All This Mean For You?
When we build websites, the power and flexibility of WordPress means that we can concentrate on understanding your specific requirements and delivering those quickly and safeley, rather than having to get deeply involved in changing or writing new program code to get the desired result.
This means that building and publishing a website that suits your specific needs can be achieved quickly and at lower cost than many other methods, so we can provide you with the very best value for money.
WordPress can be deployed on your exiting hosting environment if you have one, or, if not, we can provide a hosting service too. We can deliver the complete range of services you need to get your website up and running; and then we can give you tuition so you can keep your site up-to-date; or we can do that for you.
