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.

But with WordPress, the process becomes easier and the site owner can easily make changes in the sites without any prior experience.

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.
