Impress with Wordpress

Catchup creates websites using a state-of-the-art, personal publishing platform called WordPress. WordPress gives you the ability to edit and maintain your own website or weblog content.

WordPress is Web-based open source software, meaning that it permits anyone to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form.

This easy to use tool allows you to make routine changes and additions to your site without having to engage a professional, reducing the cost of an advanced web solution. Updating your website will only take a few minutes and publishing your changes takes place in real time. It’s quick, easy and secure.

Features of WordPress include:

  • User management - Allows you to control who can modify or add content to your site by assigning user-levels of accessibility.
  • Easy installation and upgrade - It only takes about 5 minutes to install on your computer and even less time to upgrade to updated editions as they evolve.
  • Dynamic page generation - There is no need to rebuild all of your site pages each time you update content or features. WordPress generates pages from the database and templates each time a viewer visits your site. This makes updating your site fast and the amount of server storage spaced used is minimal.
  • Post content to the future - You can update content today and post it to your site at a later date.
  • Video plug-ins - The modular plug-in system simplifies the insertion of flash video files on your site.
  • File/picture uploading - You can upload pictures or files, display them thumbnail sized or in full, or just provide a link to them.
  • Save drafts - Work on drafts over time, save them and publish them when you’re ready.
  • Previewing changes - You can preview how your changes will look before you “publish” them to the site, making sure that everything is just the way you want it to appear.
  • Searching - WordPress has a built-in search tool allowing visitors to your site to search for items/content of interest.
