If you own a small business, more than likely you have a website to promote your business. In most cases, you’ve hired a web designer to design something cool. The frustrating part… you have to pay a web designer to handle updates.

What if I told you can update your own website without paying for it?

Ever heard of WordPress?

WordPress is an FREE blogging tool used by millions. It features a very easy-to-use CMS (Content Management System) than can be used for more than blogging. The hidden secret (that most business owners don’t know) is WordPress can be used as website, too.

Whoa! WordPress can be used as a website too?

Yes. Believe or not… WordPress can be configured to be your business’s website.

Sounds Sweet?

Sure, you might have to pay somebody to design and configure your WordPress website… but think of the money you’ll save on updates? Additionally WP is ideal for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)… making it the perfect choice for gathering that great search engine results you are looking for.

Four reasons why you should use WordPress for your business website:

1. Content Management-WordPress’s CMS is very easy to use. All you have to do is login into your Admin Control Panel, find (or create) your page, and make your updates. The text editor is much like Microsoft Word, so all you have to type and select post.
2. Google loves WordPress- Check out this great video from Google’s Matt Cutts.
3. Themes and Plugins- if you don’t want to hire a web designer, there are plenty of FREE themes and plugins. Although these FREEBIES cost you no money… we suggest hiring a web designer who is familiar with SEO techniques.
4. Hosting-GoDaddy offers an easy install. All you need to do is purchase a domain name and WordPress hosting, answer a few questions… and you’re up and running.
