WordPress is, by far, my favorite CMS. Originally built as a blogging platform, it’s quickly become a great content management system with tons of extensibility and limitless customization.
Also, WordPress is very SEO-friendly right out of the box. With a few plugins, it becomes your greatest SEO ally.
I put together a quick video on how to install WordPress. We did this using GoDaddy because 1) they’re a cheap host, and 2) it’s easy. Most of these instructions will apply regardless of the host you use.
