Beautiful Designs, Powerful CMS

Most popular amongst our clients, is the WordPress package, which boasts high functionality and ease of use. With WordPress, you have the freedom to build a website with as many pages, categories and articles as you see fit; this is done simply by accessing the WordPress Administrative Area from your browser. If you would like your content to feature a wider array of “voices”, WordPress allows you to invite other authors to enter the Administrative Area and post their own work. When sending out this invitation, you may regulate the level of control the author(s) have over publishing and editing the website.

Once everything has been setup, including incorporating the custom design that will match the rest of the web site – no additional HTML skill is necessary.

The “code view” option offered by WordPress is unnecessary for the publication of simple content, but useful for more experienced web-builders; it is used to alter the HTML code in a page, post or article. WordPress also contains a WYSIWYG editor that lets you watch your modifications take effect as soon as they are applied; this enables you to morph your vision quickly and efficiently.

Key Features

One very popular feature of WordPress is it’s rich plugin architecture which allows users and developers to extend its abilities beyond the core installation. WordPress has a database of over 40,000 free plugins, each of which offer custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their site to their specific needs. These customisations range from SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) enhancers to content-displaying features, such as the addition of widgets and navigation bars.

Widgets are small modules that offer users drag-and-drop sidebar content placement through the implementation of plugins’ extended abilities. Some of these Widgets offer customisation options such as web forms to fill out, includes or excludes of data and information such as Categories, Archives and Recent Posts, optional images though slideshows and/or carousels, amongst other customisation features.These small modules are typically displayed within the header, footer and sidebars of websites, but can also be placed outside of said locations enabling even further customisation.

Prior to WordPress 3.0, WordPress supported one blog per installation, although multiple concurrent copies may be run from different directories if configured to use separate database tables. WordPress Multi-User (WordPress MU, or WPMU) was a fork of WordPress created to allow multiple blogs to exist within one installation but is able to be administered by a centralized maintainer. WordPress MU makes it possible for those with a website to host their own blogging community, as well as control and moderate all the blogs from a single dashboard. WordPress MU adds eight new data tables for each blog.

Native applications exist for WebOS, Android, iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. These applications, designed by Automattic allow a limited set of options, which include adding new blog posts and pages, commenting, moderating comments, replying to comments in addition to the ability to view the stats.
