A WordPress blog or a WordPress – or other kind of – web site? |
Well, the answer depends on one key question – what is it that you are trying to achieve from your web presence?
At the risk of stating the obvious, a blog implies blogging – the expression of personal or organisational opinion and, perhaps, interaction with your site visitors.
So, if that's your objective and you want the process to be as straightforward and painless as possible and totally under your control, then a WordPress blog could well be for you.
Then, what are the advantages of a web site?
Well, there are quite a few…
- a web site conveys a quite different impression from a blog. A web site, if well designed of course, suggests something less personal, more corporate, than a blog.
- a web site, rightly or wrongly, is often viewed as more professional, less amateur, than a blog.
- a web site implies content that is more permanent, perhaps more crafted, than a 'here today, gone tomorrow', blog posting
If you go the web site route for your web presence, you might well want to consider WordPress to 'power' it.
WordPress frees you from the ongoing clutches of a web designer and allows you to publish and amend content quickly and easily. You get the ease of use of a blog and the more established 'corporate' image of a web site.
Or, you could always be more ambitious and consider doing what more organisations are doing – having both a web site and a blog as is the case with this site!
And you wouldn't expect us to finish this post without saying that Itsnoprob can meet all your needs whether this involves:
- a WordPress blog
- a WordPress web site
- a site that is both web site and blog
- a non-WordPress web site
