Web design has really taken on a whole new form with the integration of content management systems. Content management systems such as WordPress are a very popular platform for web designers to build new websites with ease and it’s easier for users to access their website content and edit it from the back-end.
WordPress has become really popular with many Milwaukee web developers. Orion Group has recently started creating numerous websites with WordPress because it’s highly customizable and user friendly. Existing WordPress themes can be edited and customized to create just about any type of website you can imagine.
WordPress plugins are available so that you can add even more features to your website such as social media icons and many back-end items such as Google analytics.
Another reason Orion Group, and many other Milwaukee web developers use WordPress, is because WordPress has the largest open source content management system community. This means if you have a question on changing, adding, or removing items on your WordPress website, the WordPress forum has your answer or someone who can answer it. Once a website is created, there is an incredible WordPress community for WordPress users that aren’t as experienced with WordPress, that you can go to for WordPress questions and support.
Not only are the WordPress forums a great place for WordPress information, but if you are a Milwaukee WordPress user, there are plenty of opportunities to get information from fellow WordPress users from Milwaukee meetups or groups. Milwaukee web designers and developers have come together to create a very popular Milwaukee WordPress Meetup.
The Milwaukee WordPress Meetup group is a great place for new and experienced WordPress users to gather and share what they know about WordPress, and exchange thoughts and ideas on how to improve each others WordPress skills. This group has also just begun planning next year’s first Milwaukee Wordcamp.
Wordcamp is a nationally known conference that focuses on everything related to WordPress. Similar to the Milwaukee WordPress Meetup, WordCamps are informal conferences where WordPress users of all kinds gather to share their knowledge. Orion had the chance to visit the Chicago WordCamp this year and observed and participated in advanced user discussions that ranged from tips on E-Commerce strategies, to custom theme and plugin design. Less advanced users had the chance to learn how to use WordPress for blogging, and ways to use WordPress for small business.
As you can see, Orion, and many other Milwaukee web developers, trust WordPress as a tool to create customizable and robust websites.

This blog post is just a huge SEO trick… [edited] …
Hi James Pautz II, Thanks for your feedback. Can you explain how you might improve this post?
… [edited] … I didn’t need to be so harsh with my words and I apologize for not being constructive. I know that style of blog post can be effective for SEO, but I’m not a fan loading posts with keywords to the point that the post isn’t saying as much. I expected a meaningful article and it was difficult for me to read it because it was bloated with keywords. My research and reading has told me that writing posts directed at an audience using keywords where they fit naturally is a better route, because you can build real readership and engagement and then the SEO juice flows. It just felt to me like the audience this post was directed at was the Googlebots.
More to the point, WordPress is great!
I agree that the whole post is over-engineered from an SEO perspective. However, the content in the post is all truth though. Orion, a Milwaukee area web designer, makes WordPress sites for our Milwaukee area business client, is involved in the Milwaukee WordPress meetup and in planning WordCamp Milwaukee 2012. 🙂
In other words… “WordPress is great!”
