WHAT IS WORDPPRESS
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes
On a slightly more technical level, WordPress is an open-source content management system licensed under GPLv2, which means that anyone can use or modify the WordPress software for free. A content management system is basically a tool that makes it easy to manage important aspects of your website – like content – without needing to know anything about programming.
The end result is that WordPress makes building a website accessible to anyone – even people who aren’t developers.
What Kinds Of Websites Can WordPress Make?
Many years ago, WordPress was primarily a tool to create a blog, rather than more traditional websites. That hasn’t been true for a long time, though. Nowadays, thanks to changes to the core code, as well as WordPress’ massive ecosystem of plugins and themes, you can create any type of website with WordPress.
For example, not only does WordPress power a huge number of business sites and blogs, it’s also the most popular way to create an e-commerce store as well! With WordPress, you can create:
- Business websites
- eCommerce stores
- Blogs
- Portfolios
- Resumes
- Forums
- Social networks
- Membership sites
- …pretty much anything else you can dream up.
FEATURES OF WORDPRESS
WordPress Benefits & Features
IQComputing builds websites on the best (and most popular) open source content management system (CMS) available today, WordPress, making it easy for you to manage your own website’s content. A proven and mature platform for more than a decade, WordPress enables you to manage your content quickly, intuitively, and with an easier learning curve than less-common open source website content management systems.
Our WordPress development gives you a platform that makes it possible to grow. New features, new services, and new designs can be applied on top of your website avoiding the need for complete “start from scratch” relaunches.
Easily Manage Your Website Content
Easily manage your website’s content as much as you want, whenever you want. With the intuitive WordPress content management system, you can login from any modern browser and make changes to your website without programming knowledge.
Unlimited Pages, Posts, Products & More
Don’t limit yourself – You can add images, text, files, links, and embed media right on the content areas of your pages anytime you want and we don’t restrict the number of pages, posts, or products that you can add.
Integrated News & Blog Posting
Take advantage of built-in blogging and blog category management by easily adding/editing/removing content as you need to. Add news articles on an ongoing basis directly from your browser!
Flexible Post Scheduling
Posts can be scheduled to display at specific dates/times so that you can create content ahead of time and schedule it to be published. Create pages and posts, keeping them as drafts until you’re ready to publish them.
Restore Deleted Pages & Rollback Versioning
You can easily restore deleted page content (before it is deleted permanently) and even roll back page text to previous versions using built-in version control features. Save pages so that only you can see what they look like or publish them live whenever you need.
Website Portability & Vendor Lock-in Avoidance
We don’t want our customers to be locked into any provider. By using an open source platform, we ensure that website can be moved to a compatible environment should the need arise. Using “proprietary” CMS platforms can result in a total project restart should a CMS developer stop support for a system or raise prices.
Easily Add Additional Website Editors
You can easily add/edit/remove additional editors to give others within your organization the ability to manage your website content. Self-service password resets and web-based content management make keeping your website fresh a snap!

We take care of your WordPresss CMS security, backups, core upgrades, and updates for you as part of our managed web hosting services!
Combined with our managed business hosting services, we make use of proven development approaches to building websites to help avoid break-ins often associated with CMS-driven websites.

Core Upgrades & Plugin Updates
We help to avoid software obsolescence by applying updates and core upgrades to your website’s CMS on an ongoing basis. This keeps your website on the current stable release development track so that you don’t have to worry about falling out of the CMS upgrade cycle as our team addresses this for you.

On our managed platform, third-party plugins are subject to review and testing process to help prevent security risks and to minimize performance impacts on your website.
