I love content management systems, they make it simple for any individual to create and customize websites. There are free and paid versions of CMS sites which are able to do similar functions but it all depends on the individual’s preferences and goals. Of course there’s Joomla, Drupal and WordPress, the three most widely used CMS because of their open source availability but I prefer WordPress.

WordPress was considered solely for producing blogs but now it has evolved into being able to build websites. Some of the many benefits is that it’s not only free but a large library of plugins is available for any kind of functionality from video to seo. The best part of using WordPress is that if you run into any technical problems there are hundreds of forums available online with issues that have already been solved. There are also experts in WordPress that are available that can help you if you need tips or services, below are some individuals and organizations that you can connect with on Twitter. The good thing is that you can also add their followers to your list since they’re also involved with WordPress or check out my list of followers at @franklogic. If you or anyone else you know has considerable knowledge in WordPress development and design please contribute by posting a comment.
