Looking for a reliable tool to find out how many words you have on your website, or maybe on a specific page only?

Let's first understand what you need it for.

While you might need a word counter for a variety of reasons, one of the most common scenarios when you will need it is when translating your website.

Why? It's simple: just like salespeople are paid based on the deals they close, the translators are paid based on the number of words or pages they translate.

There are several online tools you can use to find the number of words your website has, and some of them are from translation agencies and even automatic translation tools.

Yes, you heard it right, even with some automatic website translation services, you should check the number of words you are going to translate, as they will offer different plans based on the word count on your page or the whole website. In other words, they will charge you money per word just like real translators do.

Sure it can be unpleasant since it means the bigger your website will grow, the more money you are going to spend on the translation. You will even have to upgrade the translation service every time you add a few lines to a page or a few pages to a website.

Things can go even worse when the translation providers stop the entire service and refuse to even give you the translation for the less text that you had earlier.

So, what to do?

Sales are essential for every business model. Hence, it's just fine to fight for every new customer or cold lead like you would for a slice of pizza after a severe hangover on a Friday night.

Jokes aside, while a strong sales team can work wonders, it's key to have a selling website too. But what to do to increase sales through a website? In fact, there are features that a website can possess which can eventually bring more sales.

Let's dive deeper and see what those features are about.

To all Google Language Translator Users: Welcome to GTranslate!

As the founder of Google Language Translator Rob Myrick announced nearly a week ago, Google Language Translator is now a part of GTranslate family. Before talking about what this basically means for you, let's briefly describe what are the core differences and similarities of two plugins.

Google Language Translator and GTranslate

Both are multilingual plugins which help to instantly make your websites multilingual and both are easy to install and use.

Google Language Translator works like GTranslate's free plan. They both provide on-fly translation of your website through Google's machine translation: the website is being translated only when your visitor selects a language. The only difference here is in the design and default options to post Language Selectors on your website.

Launching a website has become as easy as one-two-three in 2019. You don't have to possess any programming background or coding skills in order to create a nice website. Why? Because you can use one of the best CMS platforms (content management system) that will basically allow creating, editing, and publishing web content including text and multimedia elements via a graphical user interface.

CMS is software that works magic!

Considering that there are nearly 2B websites live now and also considering the fact that this number is growing rapidly, it's obvious that one needs to hurry up if they really want to have a website for their business or personal purposes.

Hiring a programmer to build a website for you could be awesome, but it could also take a lot of time and money. So, a CMS is what will come to your rescue if you want to cut costs and make it quick. There are various types of CMS platforms, and the bad news is that they all have some advantages and disadvantages, and you will have to consider all the pros and cons before making a choice.

There are a few things you should take into account in order to find the best CMS platform for your needs, for example, the need to access the editor with multiple user accounts, or the need to present the content in more than one language.

Some of the best CMS platforms are the following:

• WordPress
• Joomla!
• Squarespace
• Shopify
• Blogger
• TYPO3
• Drupal
• Magento

The majority of websites on the web are built on WordPress. That number is around 18 million!

Let's now discuss a few of the most popular CMS platforms one by one and see what each of them is best for.
