WordPress —
A Cost-Efficient Content Management System ("CMS")
Why Choose WordPress for your Website?
- WordPress is not just for blogging. It's a full-featured Content Management System ("CMS");
- WordPress is the perfect platform for integration with social media;
- Because it's open source, WordPress has a very large community of developers continually expanding its features to take advantage of the latest in Web technologies;
- WordPress makes it easy for you to update or add new content;
- WordPress is less expensive to develop on than other CMS platforms.
WordPress, introduced by Matt Mullenweg in 2003, has evolved from a blogging platform into a full-featured Content Management System. An open-source publishing application, it is supported by a very large community of developers and programmers who are constantly extending its functionality via plugins which can easily be added to a WordPress installation
HyperArts has been offering custom development of websites on the WordPress platform for quite some time now and we feel it is the perfect solution for small businesses, musicians, artists and photographers who want an elegant design, rich multimedia experience (embedded video, streaming audio, galleries, etc.), and an intuitive admin area to modify or add content.
