If you want more SEO, it’s easily done by installing a couple of plugins, such as the All in One SEO Pack or Remove WWW plugin.
9. Easy admin interface. The WordPress administration interface is the easiest and most intuitive by far. It’s way better than Joomla or Drupal. Unlike Joomla and Drupal, your work area is more clearly defined and getting around has a shorter learning curve.

3. Extensions – lots of ready-made plugins and themes, and the ability to create your own makes WordPress extensible and easily scalable for future needs without needing to completely redevelop your website..
