For my small business clients it gives them the freedom and flexibility to make editing changes and additions without me. For me, it\u2019s become an amazing tool. I\u2019ve stopped saying \u201cno\u201d when it comes to requests for functionality. Need a contact form, photo gallery, slideshow, event calendar, videos and even a full blown shopping cart? Done \u2013 and in considerably less time (and expense) than if I had to create all those things from scratch. Even if my client is not interested in editing their site, the structure allows me to design and build one for them at a reasonable cost.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always discovering new plug-ins or new ways to create greater functionality or flexibility and I love how much information sharing there is from the online community.
