Web design based on WordPress. What is WordPress?

WordPress is a CMS (Content Manager System) and is currently the most widely used to manage web content to your site, without having to know or handle programming languages. Today WordPress is the platform used to create blog of all kinds, from personal websites, magazines, web, site events, business, entertainment, corporate, etc..

WordPress in its beginning was created by the need to build a personal publishing system, elegant, with good architecture, aesthetics, web standards and good ease of use. Today, this web tool that is distinguished by being dynamic is used by almost all web businesses leaving static HTML platforms if required knowledge of programming languages ??to modify the content of the website.

The main benefits of designing and developing websites with WordPress are:

  • WordPress allows you to update content effectively and easily. Creating content is easy and upload photos or videos on any platform.
  • Allows you to make comments and communication between visitors and web site administrator.
  • Allows you to upload images and insert them or link them in posts (entries).
  • You can categorize and classify the content.
  • But not everyone benefits. Some disadvantages are

Sturdy and without personality as they use standard templates and themes in most of the websites.
Upload speed slow if not taken into account that widgets and plugins are loaded and which pages they do.
Generation of domestic waste a lot of content database that manages the system, not visible to the visitor, but may penalize the load time of the page.

Stiffness in the development of custom functionality that you want to have our web site. Nose WordPress is that you can modify the code of your web site easily. You can add pre-made widgets, but you can change almost anything else. The updates often contain errors, not being 100% reliable, unless it is known in detail the compatibility of items. My main obsession when designing and developing websites in WordPress is to offer my customers a custom design quality through a detailed knowledge of the structure of content management and PHP programming, as well as offer new features that may require each project.

Due to a deep knowledge of MySQL database managed by the system, their interrelationships, and the internal structure in PHP mostly we get a website optimized, both in speed of loading, such as indexing for compatibility Search engines like Google.
