Originally begun in 2003 as an open source blogging tool, WordPress is quickly gaining notoriety not only as a top blogging system– but as a powerful and versatile content management system (CMS) that runs entire websites as well. Here are two big reasons why WordPress as a CMS makes so much sense:
1. User-friendly/WYSIWYG Editor
With WordPress, what you see really is what you get. The WYSIWYG editor for WordPress is clean, easy-to-navigate and intuitive to use. Webpages can be added with the simple click of a button, while all pages can be edited using familiar formatting toolbars similar to Microsoft Office. Adding images, featuring videos, inserting links and uploading documents are all basic processes that can be performed in under five steps. Make a mistake? All WordPress pages come with a restore feature in which all revisions made to each page are logged and saved so that webpages can be restored to a previous version if need be. And with the “Preview” option, users can view their entered changes exactly as they will appear without having to publish a page live first.
