Open Source

Creating and publishing a website online is only part of what you need to do. It doesn’t make much sense to have a website that is not visible to people who need the services you offer. Here comes the SEO optimization.
WordPress is a well-developed system that is designed to quickly and easily manage your SEO strategy. WordPress is SEO-friendly. The manner in which the code is structured, as well as the pages and posts links, enables search crawlers to find and index your content quickly and easily. Naturally, when writing articles and adding content you also have to comply with the typographic hierarchy – headings, subheadings, main text and subtext, by marking each type with the appropriate tags.
If you wish to get advanced with SEO optimization, you have plugins available to you which will give you quite detailed information about what is wrong with your content and what you can do to improve your results. Again, it’s completely free. It’s all in your hands.

It is an adaptive system that is constantly being developed and has a fairly broad coverage of whole communities that contribute to its expansion.
