Why would you want to use WordPress for your next website

Howdy, at Hyper­stream we are proud to tell peo­ple that we use Word­Press for pretty much every project that we do. Some web devel­op­ers at this point may say that we are crazy to be using just one sys­tem, how­ever we see it as a ben­e­fit to know one sys­tem inside and out rather than flip flop­ping between projects, there is an effi­ciency fac­tor to be had here. I am going to tell you the secret why Word­Press is so pop­u­lar today over all the other CMS sys­tems. Word­Press works. It’s that simple.

It is easy to use from both the devel­oper and users per­spec­tive. From a devel­op­ers point of view it gives a good foun­da­tion to explore and extend php, javascript and mysql knowl­edge. There is also a huge com­mu­nity to sup­port it. Num­bers matter.

Although Word­Press started life as a bloging engine it has become much more, this was mainly due to it’s highly exten­si­ble plu­gin archi­tec­ture which allowed it to grow so rapidly and allow so many advanced uses of WordPress.

Some of the most inno­v­a­tive devel­op­ment right now is com­ing from devel­op­ers mak­ing plu­g­ins and themes for WordPress.

In con­clu­sion Word­Press is here to stay for a very long time and is a great foun­da­tion to almost any web project.
