Why we LOVE WordPress!

WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) that hit the scene in 2003.  It has grown to be one of the largest self-hosted blogging tools in the world.  WordPress is an open source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working together on it.  Your Plan B Company is part of that group! 

You can use WordPress for just about any website topic from Fortune 500s to a page about my cat.  There are thousands of plugins, widgets and themes you can use or you can build your own.

WordPress is also SEO friendly! And many of the SEO elements are installed by default.  Things like clean permalinks, SEO friendly titles, website structuring, indexing and non-indexing features, categories, tags and its spider friendly.  All you need to do is add your custom content and keep it fresh!

So now you know a little more about WordPress, about why we love it and
here are some current clients using it:
