Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
We use wordpress as a lightweight microsite CMS for our clients. It is used by our entire marketing department. The different user roles gives each individual within our department access to the appropriate level of editing without creating a workflow bottle neck. It also gives us a great platform for our content markteing efforts with the built-in blog post type. And with it being an open-source CMS, there are several great plugins that are easy to add onto our sites.
- User roles. Plenty of variety here that gives different people appropriate access.
- Easy to write your own plugins. Or if you're not that tech-savvy, there are several great, free plugins out there that are easy to install & easy to use.
- Multisite support, which is great if you have several locations or subdomains to manage. You can use the same install across all of these.
- Security. Being open-source, it is a big target for hackers. The folder structure is very predictable.
- Page speed. It is relatively lightweight, but there are a few script files that are built into the CMS that makes compression tricky at times.
- We launch new sites regularly throughout the year for new clients. Using wordpress has literally zero impact on any associated costs.
