Wordpress.. Is it a CMS?
- by madcolor
I recently was contacted by a client who simply wanted to increase their organic rankings in Google. My approach was to do the following:
A) Take them off of their overpriced host and move them to a nicer, cheaper, more feature-rich hosting solution which included a simple Wordpress install.
B) Apply a theme to WordPress which followed the look and feel of their existing website.
C) Train my client on how to login to their copy of Wordpress and create/manage pages/posts.
This took me very little time.. Most of the work in converting asp forms into php and tweaking a theme to fit their design.
Now my client is able to create/manage as many pages or posts as they desire.
I believe, for this purpose, Worpress was the easiest solution.
Would you categorize Wordpress as a CMS?
