Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
Wordpress is the content management platform on which our company's blog is run. It gives our marketing department an easy to use interface for writing and managing content.
- The blogging engine is really powerful, with a simple UI, and well-developed, polished features.
- SEO (search engine optimization) is very good built into Wordpress and can be made even better with plugins, like Yoast SEO.
- From a development standpoint, Wordpress is very flexible. I was able to exactly duplicate the design of our main website, even though it isn't run on Wordpress. This creates a seamless experience for visitors.
- The user-security model out of the box is adequate, but it could be more explicate and robust. There are numerous plugins that do help with this, however.
- The plugin directory should force plugin developers to be more out right about what the free version vs. paid version of plugins do.
- It allowed quick development of the site (about a month).
- Training for the the content producers is low, since the UI is excellent.
- Future development time is low and cheap, because we can do it in-house.
