In this post, I explain why I use WordPress exclusively and why it is ideal for non-geeks to run their business by publishing content and updates quickly and easily.
Sites developed with WordPress gives you protection and assurance, there are a dazzling array of plugins that extend the core WordPress installation allowing you serve videos easily, run training courses, send emails, collect subscriber information, sell products both physical and digital.
WordPress allows you to create sites where the pages are optimised for search engines, that are mobile responsive and gives a business owner control over their site. It enables them t to create pages, posts, embed videos, take card payments, deliver documents and much more. Check the tab above for links to more information about WordPress.
Extending WordPress
The great advantage that a CMS system provides is one of control and the geek free environment to add technically complicated services to your website. From processing credit cards, adding SMS messaging, membership sites, forums, image galleries, shopping carts and e-commerce facilities, SEO tools, social media connections, videos and more. Geek free because someone will have written a module or plugin that will add these features to your CMS. WordPress has a rich and varied library of plugins that will provide solutions.

We limit the number of Login attempts and apply other preventative measures to keep your site safe from Hackers. All Ticketyboo sites come with an SSL certificate so your URL begins with https://.

Will it work on Mobiles and tablets?
All Ticketyboo sites are Mobile responsive. Responsiveness means that elements of your site change their layout and structure to adapt to the size of the screen they are being viewed on. It is very important in terms of your user experience. More details on the importance of mobile responsive website design in this blog post
Why have an SSL secure site?
Quote from the Google Webmaster’s Blog:“We’ve seen positive results, so we’re starting to use HTTPS as a ranking signal. For now it’s only a very lightweight signal — affecting fewer than 1% of global queries, and carrying less weight than other signals such as high-quality content — while we give webmasters time to switch to HTTPS. But over time, we may decide to strengthen it, because we’d like to encourage all website owners to switch from HTTP to HTTPS to keep everyone safe on the web.“
If you do not run your site on a secure https Google now flags your URL with a Non Secure warning like the image above. This appears in front of your URL in the browser bar see the images above.
