Do you want to build a website? Well, for whatever purpose you might want to build it for, I suggest that you consider using WordPress. But Why you ask? Well, that is the purpose of the article. Below I will outline some reasons you should use WordPress to power your next site.

WordPress is extremely easy to use. It can be used to power all kinds of sites from Portfolio sites to Magazine sites to e-commerce sites. You can write posts without knowing html at all, using a simple rich text editor.

WordPress is extremely user-friendly, compared to some other cmses out there, which tend to be more robust and have a longer learning curve. The WordPress Support community is extremely helpful too, so incase you encounter any problems, you know exactly where to go!

If your site is built on WordPress, you wont have problems adding a blog if you want, because your site is already technically a blog!

WordPress has a large repository of free and paid themes, to fulfill youre every need. They all look awesome too! There are also niche themes, available for specific type of sites like magazine sites, portfolio sites etc.

Installing WordPress is a breeze. All it takes is one-click. Seriously, since most hosts do offer a one click installation of WordPress. Also, WordPress is the probably the best content management system in terms of search engine optimization. Search engines are known to love sites powered by WordPress.

And the last, but definitely not the least reason to use WordPress to power your next site is Plugins. WordPress Plugins. There are about millions of them available, and they all can help you in some way or the other. With Plugins, customizing your site will be a breeze.
