More and more organizations are using WordPress software as their website content management system.  And why not?  The open source (free) software is stable, very well supported and a proven user-friendly package for maintaining almost any type of website.

One of the best features of WordPress are the thousands of available plugin modules.  These self-contained programs make it easy to add elegant, and truly useful features – in most cases a simple click of a link will activate anything from Google Adsense integration to translating your pages to another language.  Here are a few of the plugins we install with each site we develop .

Broken Link Checker
This one is vital to any site that links to a lot of information.  View not only broken, but also links that are redirected to other urls.  And the best part – edit the links right on the link checker page with no need to hunt down the location within a specific post or page!

Google XML Sitemaps
Get your site index by Google quickly and painlessly.  Automatically updates as the site structure is altered.

All in One SEO Pack
