Some of our clients ask us why we prefer to use WordPress, an open-source content management system, to build their websites. The answer to that question is that we believe it provides the greatest value to our clients. WordPress isn\u2019t just simple to use for day-to-day blogging purposes; it\u2019s also adaptable to almost any web situation- with the right knowledge. Whether you need a simple informational site and a blog or a complex member-subscription setup, we can make WordPress do the work for you.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, people get nervous about using open-source software as there are misperceptions about security and support. However, the reality is that WordPress is robust and we provide expert support to our clients. And we\u2019re not the only ones who use it, either. Here are just a few A-list companies that use WordPress:<\/p>\n

Wired<\/strong>
\nThe masters of all things geek at Wired magazine use WordPress, and if that\u2019s not a firm endorsement for the software, what is? Wired uses it for pretty much all of their blogs. (http:\/\/www.wired.com\/blogs\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n
