Product Details

What is WordPress?

Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.

Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

  • Many functionality of WordPress is free and is enough for a large number of sites
  • Implementing additional functionality through plugins/themes is usually more cost effective vs. implementing in-house using custom code
  • WordPress cuts down significantly on maintenance time as it is supported for a very long time by its developer community. (Very old versions of WP are still supported via updates)

  • A strong website is a good online hub for your business. It's a publishing platform that you can easily share and link to. You just kinda need one these days and WP seems like the ideal platform.
  • Given the nature of our organization, ROI is a little beside the point, but the site does help us to disseminate information and serve as an online brochure.
  • WP is easily accessible for employees in many areas of our company, so it's an important tool that houses HR, IT, public information and other functions.

  • Because of the vast, almost 'wild west' nature of the WordPress 3rd party plugin landscape, it's sometimes difficult to use multiple plugins that all play nicely together. Because of the required troubleshooting, research on alternative plugins, testing, etc. I've often found my web design end up taking much longer to deliver than I initially estimated, which can cut deep into my profitability as a contractor who charges on a flat-fee basis for web design.
  • On the upside, because WordPress sites are easy to clone and migrate, I do appreciate the ability to save myself some time when I can by spinning out a copy of a completed website I've already created as a starting point, and then modifying and customizing the design from there, saving a lot of time on setup and basic configuration, etc.

  • The speed at which we can publish content is often limited to our approval process. That has been a bonus.
  • While a larger budget would give us the opportunity to build a more personalized and functional site overall, WordPress is a great interim (or forever, for those with zero to small budgets) tool.
  • With some customization, WordPress has been an impactful tool for us to share our resources with the community.
