Why A Responsive Mobile Friendly DIVI SEO Social Media WordPress Website is Best
Let’s start with why a WordPress website is great:
1. Easy to Edit & Add New Content not only for the designer but also for the client
The WordPress content editor is extremely easy to use and there are tons of tutorials across the internet to help you grasp the basics. If you can use Microsoft Word, then you can edit and add new pages to your WordPress site with ease!
2. WordPress is SEO Ready – GOOGLE and BING LOVE WordPress!
Straight out of the box WordPress is already giving you a head start in terms of Search Engine Optimization. Most themes (even free ones!) are developed with SEO in mind, so they’re properly formatted for Search Engines. If you go above and beyond and install an SEO plugin, then you’re even more ahead of the game!
3. WordPress Uses Themes, which means when your website needs a fresh new design, the content can stay the same, but the design can be updated.
WordPress has a huge theme community, both free and paid, and allows for quick and easy visual customization of your website. On top of that, you can change themes on your WordPress site while it’s still live, so you don’t have to worry about re-adding content to your new site ever again! You just load a separate theme and it’s still all there!
4. Setup a Mobile Site in Seconds, because a properly set up WordPress site is RESPONSIVE to any device it is viewed on.
Want your site to work on Mobile devices? Did you know you can install a Plugin to do just that in a matter of seconds? But you can go above and beyond that plugin as well and arm your website with a Responsive web design theme, that way your website will optimize depending on the device that’s viewing it, and it will always look great!
5. Add Videos in Seconds
Embedding YouTube and Vimeo videos is easy, it’s as simple as pressing a button in the content editor for a page or post and pasting the video’s URL!
6. Social Media Ready
Social media is an extremely important way to share your website nowadays, both for traffic and SEO ranking, and lucky for you WordPress comes loaded with tons of social media plugins to help you move your website forward into the social media age. Setup the buttons, engage well with your community, and others will be sharing and tweeting your content in no time!
7. Easy to Upgrade
WordPress updates all the time, new features and security fixes are common, and you can upgrade to the newest version from within WordPress with the click of a button. You can also upgrade your plugins the same way!
8. WordPress started out as a Blogging Platform, but today WordPress is a full website development system!
Before WordPress was used widely as a CMS, it was a blog. Well, it still is a blog! Blogs allow you to get feedback and engagement via comments. Readers that like your content can tweet and share it on social media platforms, giving your business more exposure. Your blog also comes with a built-in RSS feed so visitors can follow your posts in their RSS readers as well.
9. Widgets Galore
WordPress and Widgets go hand in hand, and there are tons of Widgets available from the WordPress community to do virtually anything you could think of, such as calendars, twitter feeds, popular posts or customized text/HTML.

- Your website is viewable on all devices, from smart phones to large screen computers and Smart TV’s

- Many people view websites on smart phones, and having a Responsive Website Design makes it a pleasant experience! No more pinching and zooming and scrolling around!
- Google and Bing like responsive website designs! And being found high in google search is good for business!
