WordPress is the largest and in my opinion the best blogging tool and content management system (CMS) in the world. It’s used on millions of sites around the world, and more than 40 million people view the pages served by WordPress every day, and that doesn’t include privately hosted WordPress sites like the ones I suggest to my medical clients.

The problem with most medical websites is that the content becomes outdated and updates that should be made, such as adding new patient forms or updated clinic hours, are never made. This can be confusing for your patients as they visit your website expecting it to be a trustworthy resource.

Outdated instructions for getting to your office (if you’ve recently moved), outdated patient forms, and other content that updates easily don’t have to be a problem for your website, if you have an easy way to maintain what you create. your web developer. You can even manage updates by allowing your staff to make changes to the site with your approval before they go live.

WordPress now features an automatic update button, which allows users to keep their WordPress installation up-to-date with just one click. This, along with several new updates in version 2.9, has simply made WordPress the best CMS for most medical office websites.

WordPress is used and trusted by websites that receive thousands of visits per day, such as the Wall Street Journal Magazine and the zeldman.com website of Jeffrey Zeldman (an expert in web design and usability). WordPress version updates are released approximately three times a year. With each new version, WordPress builds on the speed and security of the previous versions.
