3 Ways a WordPress Website Can Increase Your Productivity

WordPress is certainly and undeniably one of the most commonly used content management systems currently in use on the web. If someone asks you to build them a website or to update their website there is a roughly 3 in 1 chance that you will be tackling a WordPress website. So, given that WordPress is so popular, how can a WordPress website increase your productivity?

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of ready to go templates available on the web for WordPress websites. Some are free, most are paid for and they can all be customised. What this means is that without actually doing much in the way of development or design, you can have a website ready to go in a matter of minutes.

Of course, you could develop a template from scratch or use a program like Artisteer to create a template, but why would you need to? There are templates available that will do just about anything and are customisable directly from the back-end – no coding needed. This can save you about 30 hours of coding work meaning that you can produce websites far more quickly.

A WordPress website is, by its very nature, easy to edit and update. Since WordPress was designed for the non-developer it has to be easy for anyone with some knowledge of computers to figure out and operate. You can edit and update images, text, forms, products and any other content on your WordPress website without writing a single line of code.

This means no compilers and no editing complex code to be able to add as many pages, section and other bits of content to your site in no more time than it would take to write a Word Document covering the same topic.

Ah – the wonderful array of plugins available for WordPress. Is there anything that you cannot do with the installation of the right suite of plugins? Probably not…

Although WordPress was originally built for blogging and, by default, how it comes set up right out the box, you can modify WordPress to be able to sell products, advertise your business, run a forum, publish a business directory or pretty much anything else that you want to do on the web.

And, yes, you can do all of this by choosing the correct plugins and configuring them. No coding required.

All of this saves an incalculable amount of time and so your time can be spent making more websites more quickly. That sounds like a rather large improvement in productivity to me…
