I already have a website, why should I attend the WordPress website design seminar?
The key to operate a successful Internet presence is to keep your website frequently updated.
Most website owners and operators don’t update their website as much as they should. You may change the homepage whenever something new is worth mentioning. But, the remaining 100 pages (if you have this many) are rarely changed. Why would any visitor return frequently or even sign up to your mailing list if they find that there is nothing new for them to look at?
Websites always need to be kept up to date. The more relevant and fresh information you offer on your website, the more likely other website owners or bloggers will want to link to yours. This is essential to achieve high search engine placement and rankings.
Making constant updates to your website can be a challenge, even if you have your own website editing software, which cost several hundred dollars and you need time learning how to use it. If you have to hire a web designer, it can turn out to be a significant financial investment to keep your site updated frequently.
Here is where WordPress comes in:
- You can log into your website administration from any Internet connected computer or mobile device and use the most advanced and easy to use website editor available.
- When you save your changes, all modifications are published to your Web site immediately.
- When it’s time to add more content you can add as many pages to your website as you need, a new link to the navigation bar will be automatically created. You can rename all links at anytime.
- Upload new photos to illustrate your web pages or include a slideshow to highlight your business in action.
- Keep visitors entertained with YouTube videos, engage them with adding a blog, etc.
- In the rare case you are unhappy with a newly created webpage, you can revert it to a previous published version with just one click.
- WordPress even keeps track of who links to your site through ‘pingbacks’, you see exactly who links to what page or article.
- WordPress XML sitemap generator updates and submits your sitemap to Google, Bing, and other search engines about new pages and posts with a click of a button, or even automatically.
- In addition, WordPress is also a blogging platform where your visitors can leave comments and other blog entries, like the bulletin boards. Of course, you are able to edit and filter out unwanted entries, the built in Akismet spam filter gets rid of all spam messages for you.
