WordPress Features
Websites have involved and continue to evolve at a staggering rate. It is challenging to keep up. In the last few years websites use newer more dynamic code that allows for tabs and slideshows and generally more versatile and attractive presentation. One website can be programmed to adapt the presentation so that it functions and presents well no matter the platform or device.
This is great news for customers. This code brings the accessibility of more versatile and functional websites into the budget of small business customers. These features have been integrated into WordPress (A Content Managed System) making it the most used CMS platform with a market share of 66% as of May 2013.
I used to be a Joomla (CMS) fan and have recently switched my allegiance to WordPress and here’s why.
