Most of my tips and tricks relate to WordPress. Experience tells me that this is the easiest way to get a successful web business up and running quickly. It is easy to manage in it’s standard form, and it is easy to customize if you want something more than standard.
It is vital that you manage site content properly. The only way to do this efficiently, effectively, but more to the point, shrewdly, is to keep the content in a database and style the presentation to match your business goals. Along the way, I will look at other web site database control systems, but I have yet to find one better than WordPress.
