WordPress How To: Look Like the “Big Guys”
I talk to prospective WordPressers every day. The first question that they always ask is “is it worth it to move from my HTML site to WordPress?” followed by “Can you really use WordPress for a regular site — not a Blog?”. To which I respond with enthusiasm “No doubt!”
NEWS FLASH!
WordPress isn’t Just for Blogs Any More
WordPress isn’t Just for Blogs Any More
See, if you have an HTML site, chances are you look dated. And even if you have a timeless contemporary look, it is highly doubtful that you have the functionality and social media tools required to compete in today’s environment with a static HTML site.
Add to that if I had a dollar for every client who stated the desire to “make simple changes” to their Web sites themselves, you can’t help but be enthused by this little open source application called WordPress!
WordPress not only gives you the ability to make changes and add your own content, but it can make you look just as good as the “big guys.” You’ll have all the critical social media tools built into your new WordPress site that offers you a clean, professional and contemporary appearance that can only lead to a positive impression for site visitors.
I then go on my soap box about WordPress until which time the prospective client surrenders by saying “I in!”. But I digress…
So to convince those of you who are still “on the fence”, who are yet not sure if WordPress is the way to go, did you know the following sites are using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management Solution)?
Here’s a great another cool article on: 30 Great Sites Using WordPress as a CMS to see all the innovative ways sites in every niche are taking advantage of the WordPress platform.
You can learn allot and get some great ideas by looking at other WordPress sites and how they are utilizing the WordPress platform. Checking out how widgets are used and what content they put where can encourage you to try new things you may not have thought of before.
WordPress can let you, like me, a little fish in a big pond, look just as professional and viable as the big fish.
There’s got to be a good reason why they are doing so… I’ve not heard a single valid good reason why not to move to WordPress. So what are you waiting for?
