WordPress makes it SO easy to optimize your site for SEO it’s just crazy, and I like that! Without going into a lot of the technical details, I can tell you that there are literally hundreds of tools that you can add to your WordPress backend that make Search Engine Optimization almost automatic.

For the most cost-efficient way to raise your site in organic search results, and to make your website a mean, lean WordPress marketing machine, adding a WordPress blog to the site is a no-brainer, baby.

Why WordPress? Reason #5: Don’t Know Code? No Problem.

With a static site (HTML), you need to know HTML code, CSS, Flash, PHP, Cold Fusion….just looking at the names of those code languages gets Girl Friday all cross-eyed! Imagine having to search through a page of code, find the relevant string, then changing it, re-uploading it, on and on and on….just so you could update your website content. What a hassle and honey who needs more hassle?

Why WordPress? Reason #8: Plugins! Thousands of Plugins!

WordPress has literally thousands of plug-ins….not hundreds. Thousands. WHAT’S a plug-in, you ask? Well, each plug-in is a unique little set of instructions that add beauty and fun and functionality and music and video and art galleries and OH pretty much whatever you can imagine to your WordPress site. Plug-ins do gorgeous things, as I just mentioned, and they also do very important, code-based maintenance, SEO, updating and blahblahblah BOR-ing stuff, too (important and necessary functions that make WordPress SO freakin’ cool!)

Why WordPress? Reason #9: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Email Friendly

WordPress is BFF with Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn! They’re not just friendly, they’re like, practically married to each other!

Here’s how your BFF Girl Friday sees it: your WordPress site is the center of your marketing efforts…it’s the center of the daisy, the jelly in the donut, the Malcom in the Middle…you get the picture. And Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even (outbound) Email Campaigns, which can now be integrated with your social media tools, are the pathways that lead new visitors and clients to that website.

You know how for the past few weeks or months you’ve been worried because you do not see Posts from your Facebook friends that you used to see all the time? (I was, too!) And did you notice that when YOU posted things on Facebook your usual peeps weren’t responding or commenting? (Me, too!! What’s up with that?) I was beginning to think maybe no one liked me anymore! (You, too? I can assure you that in your case it is absolutely NOT true!)
