Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

I have used WordPress across a couple different organizations for marketing sites. It was able to be utilized by less technical people, which is a win. It allows a business to spin up a site quickly.
  • Spin up a site quickly
  • Less technical people can use
  • Has plugins that you can utilize
  • It is more difficult to build custom functionality
  • We have found when we built out custom sites, we got better load times
  • I think it could have better documentation for its plugins
  • It has had a big ROI in terms of getting a site up and running ASAP
  • There was a bit of learning the plugins, which decreased our ROI in the short term
  • Our ROI increased, as we had less technical people use the system and had our more technical people focus on other products
We evaluated building a site ourselves and decided to use WordPress to spin up a site quickly.
