About

The purpose of this site is to introduce you to method and enhancements to the WordPress platform for the business user. WordPress is a open-source package available free for download at WordPress.org. It is then installed on your own server and can be modified as you wish. Do not confuse it with WordPress.com, which is a free blogging host. Likely, nothing discussed here will be applicable to a blog account there.

While the WordPress package offers great utility in it’s basic form, it can easily be improved with relatively little expense to allow posting of display ads, allow online sale of goods, to sell items on commission and many other business tasks. Like many open-source products, though, creation  and implementation of enhancements to WordPress can be time-consuming and can require considerable expertise. This is where it becomes worthwhile to attain or purchase add-on products created by professionals. This site will guide you through the options and keep you up to date on the latest WordPress business applications.

My name is Wade Watson. I have over three decades of experience in business and have been creating for the web since the late ’90s. I find WordPress and similar packages a logical next step for the business user from the drudgery of static website maintenance. Once set up, adding to and maintaining a WordPress site can be much easier than static HTML and makes possible automation of tasks that otherwise eat time and manpower.
