SEO is the abbreviation of Search Engine Optimization. For the sites, being SEO friendly means it is easy for the popular search engines to find out a site and to understand the details. As a result, the site will be recommended more while someone will look for a topic, available on the site. WordPress is really SEO friendly on its own. Besides, there are a few tools that can be added to this CMS and those will make a site more search engine friendly.

One of the major reasons why people prefer WordPress to create their personal or official website is that this CMS system is really simpler than any other CMS systems available. Often it becomes tough for other CMS users to make changes in their sites by themselves and therefore they need to call the designers even for the simple edits. But with WordPress, the process becomes easier and the site owner can easily make changes in the sites without any prior experience.
#3. WordPress comes with an in-built network of support
As WordPress is a open source CMS, therefore, there are millions of people out there, who create new WordPress themes, updates, tutorials and plug-ins to make user experience even better. This thing ensures that the support will not disappear ever and the site owners will always get someone to help them.

Though WordPress was actually built as a blogging platform, but in the recent years, this has included the feature to add regular pages like as websites. This means, WordPress is ideally made to add a great blog to your site.

There are literally thousands of themes available that can be applied to a WordPress site to make your site look like as you want. Many of these themes are free.
