    Hi
    Hopefully this isnt an idiotic question:

    Just wondering does it make any difference if your website is for example a wordpress site or coded? Is there any pros/cons to each?
    Like i am wondering do coded sites do better in google rankings, things like that?

    Sites built with the most popular, modern, off-the-shelf CMS' like WordPress are generally fairly good from an SEO perspective, particularly if whoever set it up took 30 seconds to install a decent SEO plugin.

    Custom coded sites can sometimes be much quicker - if they're well coded - but sometimes often the coders creating them aren't SEO experts, and that can mean bad things for your SEO :)

    Imo its all about content and laying it out correctly, if its done right then both are pretty good at getting good ranking. As Trojan mentioned there are several good plugins for wordpress that more or less walk you through getting the content correct

    Trojan hit the nail on the head.

    Any tool or CMS will do the trick if set up correctly, and if the site is created and updated with SEO visibility in mind; essentially it doesn't matter WHAT delivers the HTML as long as the headers, links, structure and content are set up correctly.
