There are many benefits WordPress Websites offer, from the ease to maintain, consistency of all pages, Google finds it inviting (which means SEO friendly), mobile friendly and allows you to share your expertise with its on board blogging platform.
Like with everything in life there are some issues. WordPress has some bugs as well. According to Here Next Year dot com, “Plugin updates and WordPress software version upgrades can sometimes be a problem. For most, it’s just a click of a button and everything is fine. For some, they’ll click an update or upgrade link and all of a sudden they have a blank screen displaying on their website. Like with any cms product that uses a database to push content to be viewed, eventually there will come a time when you need to get some technical help even if for something as simple as upgrading plugins. The key is to learn how to backup your files and database, then do the upgrade or updates, and be able to revert back to the backed-up version if you need to. And, by all means, make sure your website manager knows to do that too before just updating or upgrading out of the blue.”
Backing up your website is a good practice no matter what platform you are using. Backing up your website is like backing up your computer – needs to be done.

Benefits of WordPress for West Michigan Website Design-Web Applications. DW Video services Big Rapids, Reed City, Newaygo, Cedar Springs, Rockford, Grand Rapids and all of West Michigan with media production services.
Some benefits of WordPress are:
1) WordPress is pretty easy to use with a user friendly interface. To add new pages, blog posts, images, etc. can be completed fairly simply. At DW Video we recommend WordPress because it puts the content power in the hands of the customer. We have found however that a basic site most anyone can do. However, through more detailed programming even more can be accomplished.
2) You do not need a degree in webdesign to do a basic site.
3) Due to the way WordPress is designed it is Search Engine friendly. We do not need to get into the algorithm, just know that it is SEO friendly. There are many plugin’s available to work even better. Do not get me wrong – the technology is making it easier. However, you will spend a lot of time working SEO. That is where we come in – At DW Video we have monthly maintenance packages to help you be more productive.
4) Updates are easier. In our case we do the layout, design of your site. Get it working and hand the keys over for you to drive. DW Video is here to help with a maintenance plan or an hourly rate based on what you need us to do. We are here to help you.
5) WordPress is the engine for your website. Now here is where it can get tricky and take a lot of your time. Customizing your site.
