The Magic of WordPress

WordPress is an open source blog tool and publishing platform powered by PHP and MySQL.
 
It has many features including a plug-in architecture and a template system, and has grown so robust that nowawadays, it is often customized into a Content Management System (CMS).
 
Formerly regarded as just a blogging platform, WordPress now uses a template processor that can be applied to all kinds of websites; not just blogs.
 
Users can re-arrange widgets without editing PHP or HTML code, and they can also install and switch between themes with the simple press of a button (most of the time).
 
We chose to build this website from a WordPress template to make it easier for our clients to understand its advantages.
 
IS IT EASY TO USE?
 
The learning curve may be steep for some people, but learning how to use WordPress as a front-end user is far easier than learning HTML, CSS, PHP, Scripting, and Photoshop. For website owners who only need to update text and images on their pages, WordPress provides a cost-effective alternative to hiring the services of a webmaster each and everytime you wish to make a homepage announcement.
 
While making a WordPress theme work for a new website may not always be a walk in the park, the benefits often surpass the time and energy required to turn an existing template into your own website. Templates can run anywhere between $65 and $3000, depending on whether you choose exclusivity over the design.
