The Nitty Gritty
Data is collected and reported on the Google rankings of the author's website. The author's website
is developed on the ColorWay Version 3.1 WordPress theme developed by
InkThemes.com.
Method
This article reports the Google rankings for the author's website. The search phrase and the SERPS ranking are recorded. Data are collected on two interior pages of the website. A copy of the page is saved in PDF format.
Results
The data was collected on 13 September 2014. At that time the website had been running without website content development updates for well over a year. This means that Google had stabilized its indexing of the authors website.
The tutoring page was well optimized for long tail search phrases, the page title, HTML tags, and topic. Download a snapshot of how the page looked [here].

Conclusions
The data in this experiment suggests that the performance of a particular page of a website depends upon the skill of the search engine optimizer (SEO) doing web content development for that page. The data suggests that performance in the Google Search Engine Result Pages (SERPS) does not depend upon the content management system chosen to manage the website. Well written pages perform well and poorly written pages give lackluster performance.
In conclusion choose a content management system — WordPress or otherwise — that fits your budget and makes it easy for your web content developer to update content for your brand. Then choose the best possible SEO you can afford.
