• User Community - One of the most widely used CMS tools means that there is a great user community that provides great online forums, tutorials, and free services.
• Security - Based on the size of the user community, WordPress will be around for a long time, which means that there will continue to be upgrades to security and other features.
• Flexibility - The ability to customize WordPress to manage an entire website makes it one of the top choices for a content management system.

WordPress Blogs

As mentioned, the primary use of the WordPress technology is aimed at an easy to implement and manage blog. One of the best things about WordPress is the user community that offers up incredible enhancements, plugins, frameworks, and templates to help extend the basic software. CPD specializes in helping install and customize blogs to replicate the branding of your website and meet the needs of your organization. CPD uses a WordPress based system on its own blog, blog.crownpointdesigns.com.

WordPress as a CMS

Crown Point Design has been utilizing WordPress as a content management system (CMS) for several years. Organizations that need to control the content of their websites can utilize a custom website built in WordPress. Our normal design process applies with the addition of training. Projects built in WordPress typically additional 1-2 weeks longer than basic static websites.

SEO Benefits of WordPress

WordPress also naturally increases a site's search engine optimization. Easily manageable content means that information on your site, such as events or news, will be updated consistently. When search engines crawl the site and read new content, the site's natural content ranking increases.

Meta tagging in WordPress is handled automatically. Doing so not only saves time when creating content, but it also gives structure to the site and the relevant parts of content for accurate search results. WordPress also features customizable permalink structures. Using the appropriate structure will put page titles into the URL, making particular pages easier to find in search engines.
