Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
WordPress is used to power my staffing organization's website for blogging, taking in resume's from job candidates, and for seeking business from employers. We use WordPress to handle form data, post regular content, and host media. WordPress is used by the entire organization, though it is only directly managed by the Strategy department. We have also used WordPress to handle a small amount of eCommerce.
- Simple to Use
- Highly Customizable
- Slow page speed compared to other options
- Can have security issues if not updated vigilantly
- Easy to update website.
- Site can be updated by non-technical professionals.
It was important for our business needs that it be easy to manage our website for non-technical staff. WordPress was significantly easier to use compared to Drupal. While it is possible that staff could have been trained on Drupal, WordPress required minimal training in order for our staff to post blogs and make content changes. Drupal also didn't have the same level of online support that WordPress had. If there was anything we wanted to do with WordPress, we could easily find how to do it with a quick Google search. This was not the case with Drupal.
