What can WordPress do?

To put it simply, WordPress does many many things for you if you learn how to use it.

WordPress is a Content Management System which allows you to do much more than just blog. It allows you to register users, sell products, distribute content, host videos, maintain databases and much much more. There’s a reason why multimillion dollar companies such as the one’s we’ve previously listed trust WordPress; it’s simply an amazing tool that allows multiple people from different pages of the world to work on the same site and as a team while at the same time effectively managing their roles within the work.

Some of the things that WordPress handles for you include but are not limited to HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL and much much more. Using WordPress means you don’t have to spend your valuable time learning all of these programming languages on your own and can focus on showing the world what you’re made of.

Depending on what it is you want to do, there are tens of thousands of plugins which extend the functionality of your website. The much larger number of themes available for download and use enhance your ability to customize your website to look and feel anywhere you want it to. The possibilities are limitless.

Who should use WordPress?

  • People who don’t want to spend an entire career learning how to code and program.
  • People who are interested in showing the world something amazing. Business Owners, bloggers, travelers, gurus, teachers, writers, video bloggers, and basically anyone in the world who has something meaningful which they feel the world should at least partially know.
  • People who are busy doing other things related to their business and who want to get a website up and running as cheaply and as quickly as possible.
