There are so may things to tell about the WordPress. Read this answer and then tell me:

why not WordPress ?

1. It’s easy to design



Have a theme for your site in mind? It’s all doable with WordPress. The WordPress directory gives you access to over 1400 free themes to choose from. And if you do a search in Google for WordPress themes, you can find hundreds more. If you are willing to pay a little for a more custom theme, there are many more options for a great looking site.



2. It’s easy to customize



Once your site is developed and you have your look and feel in place, you can continue to design and customize forever. Start with a full array of WordPress plugins – I’ve also provided a review of my favorite WordPress plugins here. Then add from there.



3. It’s easy to make changes



What is the number one complaint of traditional website owners? Its not being able to make changes when they want. If you are thinking about business, and come up with a whole new concept on Saturday night at 10 pm, you want to get in and make the changes to your site at 10 pm on Saturday night. With traditional designers, you have to write up an email, and wait days or even weeks for the changes to be made. With WordPress, you login, make the changes, add or delete pages, and be ready to go with your new idea in minutes.



4. Website functionality



When people hear “WordPress” or “blog”, they tend to think of a simplistic journal-like site. With the new WordPress capabilities, there is little difference between a blog and a site. In fact many of today’s top websites are built on WordPress platforms – think Martha Stewart, Mashable and New York Times. If you can think it, it can be built on WordPress.



5. Blogging is easy



“I don’t like to write.” “I don’t have the time.” Yep, I hear it all when it comes to blogging. But what if I told you blogging is simply the best way of driving customers to your site? If you plan on being in business five years from today, it’s my number one recommendation for marketing your business. And with WordPress, it’s easy. If you can write in Word, you have the skills to blog.



6. It’s spam-resistant



If you’ve ever worked with a generic blog, you might be nervous about receiving a ton of spam related messages into your comments section. How are you ever going to control all of that? There is a plugin for that. Its called Akismet. It automatically puts spam-looking comments into a separate section, making sure you only spend your time on what’s truly important to your business.



7. It’s easy to connect with other social sites



Are you on Twitter? Facebook? With a simple plugin, you can connect your WordPress site up with any other social site.



8. It’s SEO friendly



When you put up a site, you want to attract new potential customers from the search engines. WordPress makes it easy. When you are adding content to WordPress, it provides the tools you need to make each page and post more search engine friendly. You can add your keywords and descriptions automatically as you type.



9. Easy to update



When you use WordPress, you login to your dashboard, which gives you a quick rundown of everything that is happening. Right at the top of the screen, WordPress tells you when a new update is ready – and in just minutes you can have new features, new styles, and major updates that will fix bugs and threats built into your site.



10. Build for the future



A traditional website is stagnant, meaning once you have it up and running, it pretty much sits there unless your designer is willing to change it. With WordPress, you can change it every day. Add new content, put in a new plugin, and develop a new graphic. And with comments and RSS, you have the potential of connecting up with clients all over the world. The best part is you also have the tools ready for what is coming next.
