I use WordPress on all of my clients’ websites, unless they specifically request another content management system, and here is why:
Publishing
WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform. It allows you to add and remove pages, edit content, add blog posts, review comments and more, all within a well designed and regularly updated web interface.
