A business case for WordPress
Like any modern business, having a website is only part of the puzzle. Now, with the web maturing and becoming a deeply social arena, positioning your business as a brand at the heart of a conversation about a product or a service is probably as important than the product / service itself.
So why WordPress?
WordPress is probably the most popular content management system there is, either free or commercial. Thousands of people all around the world write Plugins for it, to extend WordPress and add additional features.
Getting the most from WordPress
It’s also very easy to change the appearance of WordPress, to suite your businesses corporate style. Also, because WordPress makes use of very popular technologies, installing WordPress is, as they say, just five minutes of your time.

This looks great. Is there somewhere I can download it without having to create an account at yet another site I’ll likely never visit again?
A simple downloadable PDF would be fine.
Thanks!
Hi Andrew, and thanks!
You can download the ebook from Issuu direct.
The ebook is too large to host directly — which was a shrewd move on my part, given how successful it’s been.
All the best!
