Wordpress Blogs

Blog Theming and Development

For most of our projects, we base our work on the Drupal platform. However, some clients seek a more simplified Blog and streamlined option that does not require Drupal’s extensive modules. At that time, we choose to deliver a solution based on WordPress here in San Diego.

WordPress Blogs are an open source software solution based on PHP and MySQL, which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial Web site without having to pay a single dime in royalties or fees to its original offerer. It is built on the LAMP Platform (which is again open source) and licensed under GPL.

WordPress Blogs Features, Advantages & Benefits

User Friendly - You don’t really have to be experienced to use WordPress when you are a new user/visitor of the website. The administration section is also easy to navigate and it is even easy to add articles/content/blogs to your website.

Plugins Extend Functionality - WordPress plugins allow developers to do just about anything they want and can be installed in a jiffy. For example, if you want to paginate your blog posts, just look on Google and you can easily find the relevant plugin that will do the job for you. Most importantly many of the plugins can be added by our team in San Diego which saves in development time for all projects.

Standards Compliant - WordPress follows all major Web standards and keeps your blog or Web site compliant to the rules that have to be followed when running a Web site. More on these rules here.

SEO Friendly - Search engines have to be kept in mind when building a Web site. WordPress uses many different functions that allow us to search engine optimize your Web site so you can be found on the Internet. For example, sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags, cleanly named URLs, etc.

Large Community Support - According to recent statistics, WordPress is used on more than 1% of the websites on the Internet. This large user community backs the development of this software, so updates and enhancements are readily available on WordPress. There are also many forums from the community that provide rapid support for many development needs.
