Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
We use WordPress to host our marketing websites for our companies and products. We do graphic design in house and outsource custom theming and development to freelancers. WordPress being so popular means that the availability of freelancers for just about anything you would want to do in WordPress is available at reasonable cost.
Pros
- Broad User Base
- Open Source Flexibility
- Fast to get started
Cons
- Breaking changes with Plugins & Themes
- Security, Backups, & Updates easily forgotten about
- Managed WordPress becomes a trade off between flexibility and ease of management
- Democratizes web content manipulation by being relatively easy to use, meaning content updates can be done inexpensively.
- Offers expandable functionality far beyond other products, meaning if there's something we want to do, we don't have to start over with another product.
- Looking professional pays dividends, so a sharp custom theme goes a long way.
WordPress has the largest community of users, selection of plugins and themes, and the best third party support on the market.
It's tempting to go with something that is less customizable and therefore requires less maintenance, but if you desire flexibility, WordPress is a good choice.
Other Content Management Systems truly require development resources to implement and maintain for any length of time, making them far more expensive in the long run.
