First of all let me give you a brief introduction about wordpress what is wordpress? Wordpress is world’s most popular content management system today and it is used to make dynamic websites with ease. It is recommended for the people who do not have a good time with programming. World’s top brands like ebay, yahoo, dig blog, ford, wallstreet journal and sony etc. are using word press to power up their websites.
There is a misconception that wordpress is only for blogs in my opinion wordpress can be used to make any kind of dynamic website. Wordpress really saves your precious time and money. Some of its great applications are like making an online store, a job board, a membership website, a real estate website, an online telephone directory etc. Believe me if you would have to build this using programming it would have taken a lot of time and money. There are thousands of free themes available online which you can install to give a beautiful look to your website and more than 18000 plugins to transform your website to anything. And there number is increasing all the time.
