Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

WordPress is recognized as a leading open source content management product capable of scaling and supporting small, medium and large organizations. I have typically worked with digital agencies to create brand sites for product promotions or create a digital presence for small and medium sized businesses.

If you have a need for a membership site, blog, or product site, WordPress is a flexible choice. As you move into larger enterprise scaled applications, you will need to address data integration and custom modules. However for a large majority of business owners, WordPress is an excellent choice to start a digital footprint.
  • Blog publishing
  • Open architecture enabling endless customizations
  • Enables the individual entrepreneur and full sized businesses to create a digital platform
  • Theme removal is manual on the server end. Adding that capability in the product would be helpful to clean up themes
  • Improve speed without adding more speed or caching plugins
  • Easier GUI to edit content blocks
  • I can quickly develop a digital presence that doesn’t require IT to manage the content
  • The WordPress framework provides a repeatable framework for multiple sites speeding time to delivery
  • If I don't know the answer, the WordPress community usually has one
WordPress is easier to use than Drupal or Wix. Drupal still requires an IT back-end admin to upgrade the code and successfully manage the site. Wix provides full user control of the user experience but acts as a page builder vs. a content management system. All are good solutions but I prefer to work in WordPress.
