Well, I just didn’t see it’s value way back in 2003. Stupid Me! Now I apologize to the WordPress community for my oversight. It just takes time for some things to mature, even people. Why I call it an online marketing machine is because WordPress offers an automation that we used to only dream of
I’m not a coder, but I do appreciate the complexities. I like good simple design that gets the job done, and my background has mainly been in the creative arts. When I switched from building building static web pages through html editors and wsywig programs like Dreamweaver, I thought it might be just another way of “skinning the cat” (no animal harm intended here). But wow, was I in for a surprise. I found Web site building nirvana!
We all know there are so many different ways to accomplish things on the Web, and frankly, sometimes it just gets overwhelming. When I first started, developing in WordPress, the light wen on. I saw how easy it was to implement changes in a fraction of the time it took me the traditional way of coding a page and uploading it to the Web. In addition, everything was integrated, automatically.
WordPress is a free content management system. Simply put, it makes creating and maintaining websites super easy through an online interface. Once it’s installed on your domain and web hosting, all you need is a computer and internet connection to edit your website. And if you know how to use Microsoft Word (or any word processor), then you can operate WordPress.
That’s it and that’s where the fun begins. Once you understand the simple process of how to make a page or how to post in your site/blog, then your efforts can simply be focused on getting your creative juices flow.
The other part of the picture that makes WordPress so valuable is it’s extensive plugin environment, the ease of changing your entire sites look and feel to extending it’s core functionality. There are so many plugins these days, there’s hardly anything that you can’t do with WordPress. But why iThemes?
iThemes builds high-quality, feature-rich, search engine optimized WordPress themes for businesses and bloggers who want a polished design without having to pay thousands of dollars for a custom web design. For a fraction of the price of a custom design, you can save time, money and hassle of building your website from scratch using one of our pre-built iThemes. Thats why!
An iTheme is simply a web template that runs in the WordPress content management system and gives your site a certain look, feel and functionality. So what are you waiting for? Choose a template, make sure you’ve got a good domain url, compatible WordPress hosting, and we’ll do the rest. The iTheme package (our turn-key installation) is your easiest way to an Online Marketing Machine.
