Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
We use WordPress as our CMS for fundraising and event sales, blog writing, and sponsor recognition. Only the marketing department uses the site, but it serves its purpose as a landing page and source of event information!
- Open-source! Being free is important for a non-profit.
- Modular! We can create as much custom content as possible through modules and plugins
- Well documented! If I have a problem, I'm not usually the only one who has experienced it and can find endless resources online about how to solve it.
- Can be easy to overload, and slow down if you aren't careful.
- Is difficult to navigate if you don't know PHP.
- Usually requires some paid plugins to execute your ideal site. Luckily there is lots of competition!
- We've been able to work with outside agencies more effectively - cutting our internal publishing time to almost nothing.
- My team can manage small errors without contacting contractors - saving us on our marketing budget.
- Iteration loops are much faster and we can prototype in under half the time.
