Your static site vs. a WordPress site. Which is better for Social Media?

HELLOOOOOOO?? Is this the party to which I am speaking?

You’ve probably figured out by now that If your website is a static HTML site, it’s expensive and time-consuming to program the site in order to connect it to your social media like Facebook and Twitter. You probably have to get on the phone to your site designer, or whomever did your site, and ask them to program it for Social Media. Oh Jiminy Criminy Grits, what a pain in the you-know-what!! Easier to take control of your own website, Girl Friday always says. But HOW??

Consider converting your HTML site to a WordPress site/content management system, Bonky!! That way, you can add Social Media, video, a blog, a portfolio, music, event calendars and so much more quite easily. And you can do all that fun Social Media stuff yourself. Or have your Girl Friday (or Boy Friday) do it for you. It’s easy! (Do you know Microsoft Word? Well, the WordPress content editor looks a lot like Word ‚ so simple to use!) (Ask me how:  info@e-girlfriday.com)

When you log-in to your WordPress administration panel, YOU are able to control, edit and add content, pages, photos and more (once it is set up for you). (READ this forum posting for discussion among real users regarding static (HTML) site vs. WordPress).

WordPress is a content management system…and Social Media is also built on content. Visitors, customers, or clients interact with your WordPress site’s content by making comments, asking questions, purchasing product or downloading information you\’ve provided. The same process occurs within your Facebook and Twitter profiles.

And so, it makes sense to have a content-managed WordPress site that connects to your social media and even your email blast software (like my fave, Vertical Response). The WordPress site becomes your marketing hub, the center of your content exchange with site visitors, and the site around which your social media revolves.

Think about it, then contact Girl Friday!! Now get back to work, dear. Although I’ve really enjoyed our little visit here, you’ve really procrastinated long enough.
