Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
WordPress is the content management system we use to build, develop and update our company website. WordPress is a very popular, mature program with many plugins and integration capabilities with other platforms. It is very easy to edit and this allows us to easily and html content, graphics, and pdfs when we update information about our products and accessories. Moreover, it is very easy to chose a template to create new product pages when we launch new product pages. When we add an updated pdf to replace existing datasheet pdfs, we can maintain the existing clean url so our distributors who use that url on their website do not have to make any changes. WordPress integrates with Salesforce.com and HubSpot so we create WordPress pages with forms and pass info on form submissions to Salesforce and HubSpot. WordPress allows us to make a very user friendly interface including mega menus and pages with filter selections so users can filter content by country, language, product, document type, and business vertical. In addition to graphics, WordPress allows us to embed Youtube videos from our channel and partner channels.
Pros
- uninterrupted uptime
- supports easy page creation/updating (home page, landing pages, Tech Support page)
- supports in-site searches by web visitors so they can easily find the exact content they are looking for
- supports many themes and page templates (including custom themes and templates)
- Integration with many other software platforms including Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, Event Management apps, Yoast SEO, Elementor
Cons
- more AI capabilities to help create pages
- a way to solve caching issues so the most current content is consistently provided to all visitors without visitors having to flush their cache
- speed when saving edits. The speed isn't bad, but I could not think of anything else to nitpick about.
- More than half of our lead generation comes from form submissions on our WordPress site versus trade shows, trainings, prospecting, referrals, and advertising
- WordPress facilitates quick and easy content creation and updating and mobile friendliness to help our company appear on the first page of Google for coveted search terms.
- WordPress's faceted search capability has helped us build a Tech Support page that serves customers well and has helped us achieve superior Tech Support ratings to competitors every year.
- WordPress allows us to collect and store product registrations
I have not used Drupal or Joomla for several years, but WordPress is easier to use than those platforms from when I used them last. It's so easy to find a web developer who knows WordPress if I ever need help. And there are so many plugins and software platforms that integrate with WordPress. I have not run into anything that WordPress has not been able to handle.
