A CMS (Content Management System) is such an enhancement to site management that once you’ve used it it’s hard to imagine how you lived without it. The benefits of a CMS is that it has admin capability that allows the owner of their site the ability to change and update content through an interface that does NOT require web design knowledge or special software. WordPress is more desirable than other CMS systems for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that it is very user-friendly. SInce the goal of a CMS is to give the client the option of controlling their own content, the CMS environment should be easy enough for the technologically challenged to use it.

WordPress is a robust (important) and feature-rich environment offering client-control and an enhanced end-user experience. WP developers make constant improvements that keep pace with the rapidly evolving state of web presentation.  The open source architecture of wordpress eliminates the need to incur the heavy costs of a developer (or a team in the case) to build a comprehensive site structure/CMS from scratch– it’s already “in the box” (as they say at Apple). It’s the classic separation of form and content.

This grants a client much more functionality, expandability and control then they can have with a custom build. A custom build outside the scope of a flourishing development community– like WordPress– isolates the client’s options.

Most WordPress themes comes with a number of native “widgets”, which are a type of plugin, sort of like quick-start features that are already integrated into the wp  architecture (but can be easily de-activated like plugins, doesn’t require coding).

This is not only an affordable solution because the development of this application is done by a team of specialists in an open source environment, but they are robust builds because these are developers working specifically on WordPress, constantly improving the quality and security of the product.
