Why Do Sports Websites Choose WordPress?

Mobile Ready Out of the Box

It’s critical for sports sites to be available to readers everywhere and anywhere. Every WordPress site can be made mobile or tablet-ready with a click, which means your readers on a phone or tablet will see a fast-loading, mobile-optimized version.

Cover Events in Realtime

WordPress.com VIP offers a liveblog add-on, which gives publishers the ability to post live text, photo or video updates right from the front-end of the site. Viewers of the liveblog get new entries without needing to refresh their browser — perfect for live updates from a game.

Simple Sharing Tools

Give your content a home on the web, and then connect it with social media networks using existing tools built into WordPress. Connect the site to Facebook, Twitter, email, and other services to alert fans and followers when new content is available.
