Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
WordPress is a great platform for hosting a Web Site and its content. It not only allows you to create a Web Site and manage its content but also to host Coupons, Blogs, and other features. It has been very good as a Marketing Web Site platform, including in situations where multiple Web sites are hosted for different Divisions.
Pros
- Coupons
- Blogs
- Web Pages
- Plug Ins
Cons
- It is a bit hard for non-technical users to administer it since the back end of WordPress involves PHP and JavaScript.
- Some users may not like the interface for composing and publishing content or may not remember to publish their work and leave it in Draft mode.
- There may be a need to further publicize the formal training program from WordPress with certifications. In past roles we have needed to document everything we do in it very closely and do a great deal of deskside coaching, more so than with other Web content platforms.
- Manage content within the Marketing Team saving money on Vendors/Outside consultants
- Preserve and reuse Web content saving time and speeding time to Market
- Very popular coupon based and special offers pages have been easy to maintain and draw a great following of Visitors
WordPress does well against HubSpot for support across a wide user base. It is easier to justify the cost for as opposed to needing to have a Web content platform and HubSpot in addition.
HubSpot is a bit easier for end users to create, maintain and publish content vs. WordPress. It also has a wider variety of features beyond Web content publishing/management.
Aprimo has had Web publishing features for over a decade and after a small amount of training, one can create Web Forms and Web pages inside the interface. I have not observed the same functionalities in Aprimo vs. WordPress for Couponing and Blogging, howeveer.
