Static Html Pages V/s Wordpress - For open content pages?

[shanky1]

Hi there.

I am worried a bit about static html pages or wordpress as an instance to write down open page content for our website.

We are a product based website - primarily Saas based product. But with time we have seen that if we write more content people will be able to find us better,.

Earlier our blog resided on blog.example.com now we are moving it to example.com/blog/

Issues - I really want to know that I need to generate lots of fresh content so I am using wordpress as the blog medium and content generation medium too. Basically the wordpress instance will be a content generated pages.

I can also have static html page based content but then our content writers will always have to take the help of develoeprs to publish it to our sites.

Whats the best way to go about this keeping SEO really crucial in mind?

Thanks for your time and help!

I don't know what you mean by open page content, but if you use Wordpress as your CMS then you should use it for any static pages or content that is not going to change. Wordpress is good for seo if not better than maintaining static HTML as it is easy to change, easy for authors/publishers to use and requires little or no maintenance.

I don't quite know what you mean by 'open page content' - I'm guessing you just mean resources, articles etc open to all?

In any case - WordPress is good for SEO, and most developers use a CMS now even if they're capable of hand-coding.

With a few exceptions, the only time you might want static HTML pages is if you're keeping content the same forever. And even then, you can keep WordPress the same forever.

So I don't think you'll get any benefits from static HTML, and even if you do:
