			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&lt;h1&gt;1. Cheap&lt;/h1&gt;<br />
Using WordPress for your webiste means that it is either cheap or free.  While WordPress itself is free, hosting and domain purchases are not.  Both hosting your site and your domain purchase is usually around $100/year so you still save loads of money.  Amazing to hear the sweet sound of cheap.<br />
&lt;h1&gt;2. Easy&lt;/h1&gt;<br />
If you can work with Microsoft Word, then you can use WordPress. WordPress-powered sites allows you to add and manage content without knowing how to write code so you don&#8217;t need to pay a web developer for changes.  It&#8217;s that easy.<br />
&lt;h1&gt;3. Accessible&lt;/h1&gt;<br />
WordPress can be accessed anywhere you have internet connection, and also offers multiple users.  This helps you easily and quickly make changes anywhere in the world, along with your trusted team you have in place.  Nice break, huh?<br />
&lt;h1&gt;4. Search Engine Friendly&lt;/h1&gt;<br />
WordPress and the search engines are friends, making it easy on you to optimize your search engine results. Their friendship means that you will be seen and found more easily on the top pages of search engines.<br />
&lt;h1&gt;5. Do-It-Yourself&lt;/h1&gt;<br />
In the world where people can create practically anything nowadays, WordPress is no different.  WordPress offers over 10,000 plugins that will add functionality to your site and we train you to where to go and how to install these helpful tools to enhance your site.  Ranging from photo galleries to more indepth plugins in such as PayPal invoice forms, there are more choices than you can imagine.</p>
