Once you are there, scroll all the way down and you will see this notation in the lower right-hand corner: Powered by WordPress.com VIP, and Time Magazine is not the only high-profile user of WordPress CMS. Sony, Disney, CNN, and The New York Times, to name a few, all power their websites with WordPress CMS.

If you are wondering whether your website is working for you or against you, here are a few questions to ask yourself.

• Can you add new content to your current website quickly and easily?
• Is your website easily found when customers search, i.e., is it properly positioned in the world ofSEO?
• Can you add new features and functions to your website easily?
• Is it possible to update or add to your website from your mobile device or tablet?
• Do you like working on your website or is it a hassle?
• Do your website's results make you jump for joy or wonder why you even have one?

In today's business world, a website is essential for any size business or entrepreneur. Your website acts as a business card, marketing device, advertising page, payment system, and data collecting tool all working together on one platform. You and your employees should easily access it; management should be simple and most important, and your customers should find it before they find your competitors.
