WordPress deemed best CMS for 2016 by industry experts

February , 2016 – WordPress is the best content management system (CMS) for getting a
website found by Google and other major search engines, according to web designers who have
analysed an array of CMS options over the past 12 months.
WordPress is favoured by web designers and clients alike for its user-friendly interface, customisable
layouts and numerous supported plugins.
However, one of the key reasons why it’s gained such widespread praise is due to its SEO, or search
engine optimisation-friendly features that can positively influence websites’ rankings in search
engine results pages.
Such features are crucial for a website’s online success, particularly if businesses are eager to boost
their leads and conversion rates.
Unlike many other providers, WordPress is an open source CMS with a free license, which means it
has become one of the most popular CMS choices for businesses of all kinds and has been
downloaded more than 30 million times worldwide.
General Manager of Melbourne-based web design company Nothing But Web, Gerard Roche, says
that one of the main reasons why his team favours WordPress is because of its responsive design.
“WordPress-built sites offer a great degree of flexibility when it comes to designing for multiple
devices. It allows us to code in responsiveness so that the page will recognise when a user is
accessing a site from a mobile device and adjust the pages accordingly.”
“A mobile site is becoming increasingly important for our clients, as research shows that these days,
approximately 50% of visitors are accessing websites from mobile devices,” he says.
WordPress’ unique SEO-friendly features include customisable URLs, which means developers can
influence how a website is ranked on search engine results pages by inserting keywords and popular
search phrases in the address line.
The CMS’ flexible website architecture makes it easy for both developers and clients to add page
tags and page categories in order to create a sophisticated network of internal web links, which is
also looked upon favourably by Google.
Nothing But Web’s Roche adds that another drawcard for WordPress is its integration with
Pingomatic, which is a script that automatically submits new web content to search engines.
“This feature is so useful because it streamlines the whole indexing process with Google. It’s a very
efficient way of boosting the chances of a client’s website being ranked favourably by Google,” he
says.
When these functions are brought together with targeted SEO strategies, such as those offered by
Nothing But Web, the results are high-ranking websites that garner more traffic and generate more
conversions.

reason why we enjoy using it so much,” Roche says.
