By Michael Penington

If you are reading this article, I am guessing you are interested in building a website. Well then, I think you should use WordPress to build that site. I will tell you the reasons I believe your next site should be powered by WordPress in this article

Firstly, WordPress is easy to use. No matter what site you want to build, you can do it quite easily in WordPress. People use WordPress for all type of site, from your regular blogs to magazine sites and portfolio site. It is also very easy to add new content to WordPress with no html knowledge required.

WordPress is extremely user-friendly, compared to some other cmses out there, which tend to be more robust and have a longer learning curve. The WordPress Support community is extremely helpful too, so incase you encounter any problems, you know exactly where to go!

Since WordPress is a blogging platform, if you use it build your site, incase you need to integrate a blog, you wont need to worry at all, since technically the blog is already present!

WordPress is probably the only content management system out there with such a vast array of themes, both free and paid. Another thing about these themes, a lot of them, including the free ones, tends to be top notch. Not to mention that there are themes for specific kind of sites like portfolio sites etc.

WordPress is very easy to install, with most hosts providing a one-click installation. Also, WordPress provides great seo right out of the box. It is probably the best CMS out there, in terms of SEO.

And the last, but definitely not the least reason to use WordPress to power your next site is Plugins. WordPress Plugins. There are about millions of them available, and they all can help you in some way or the other. With Plugins, customizing your site will be a breeze.
