Website design and hosting is an important topic in search engine optimization. Today there is less need in employing expensive website coders as more and more tools are available that allow you to enter the content and modify the look and feel with very limited experience. One such tool is WordPress, although known as a blogging tool this can be used to create traditional looking static websites not just blogging sites. WordPress is itself supported by a very large community that provides plug-ins to just about anything from search engine optimization to e-commerce.

Most website hosting companies will support website tools like WordPress and some will even deliver hosting with the package installed and ready to go. A lot of website design and development companies that specialise in WordPress will get information from resources also available to yourself, for example WPMU Dev premium.

In our view it is worth investigating WordPress as a website tool as it will save you a lot of money in the long term. Some examples of savings are:

• Lower maintenance costs as you can add and change content whenever you want without employing a designer. Tools exists to update from mobile devices like the iphone.
• Lower maintenance costs as upgrades can be done from the tool itself.
• Better search engine optimization as the product comes with tools to perform on-site optimization and off-site optimization.
• Easier management as the tool comes with tracking plugins and can link to website analytic tools like Google Analytics.
• Easily change the look and feel to keep the website looking fresh and up-to-date
