Developers are usually in two camps of whether WordPress should be used as a CMS or not. For those who are in the camp of “WordPress is not a CMS” must now eat their own words.

Even though WordPress was originally built as a blogging platform, with many development deploys since then, it has now become a fully functional, robust content management system.

WordPress announced today that they won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. Last year they weren’t even shortlisted within the top 5, however this year they are rubbing shoulders with Joomla and Drupal.

WordPress is an excellent CMS product for small and large businesses alike.  From a SEO perspective, most WordPress templates with a little bit of tweaking are search engine friendly, allowing search spiders to crawl the content of the site. The ‘All In One SEO Pack‘ is a useful plugin allowing meta data to be customized for each and every post.

The blogging functionality of the site allows website owner to post news, blog posts, media releases and more. Fresh content encourages search spiders to visit more often and thanks to WordPress, content can be added easily.

Congratulations WordPress on your win!
