Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used WordPress to host and manage our blog content and some content landing pages.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Organizing Content Topics.
Custom Design.
Managing Blog Comments.

Cons

Optimizing database queries for faster loading times.

Return on Investment

We built an extensive content library on our blog, which held over 15 years of content and brought in a ton of traffic organically.
We leveraged landing pages for key content topics, which we used in conjunction with PR for promotion, and established quality backlinks.

Overall usability was great for our use cases, which allowed content writers to upload and generate blog content easily. There were some gaps with having to lean on our backend for design and administrative-related issues. That slowed down the process a bit.

Alternatives Considered

Wix, Shopify and Blogger

Wordpress and Shopify don't support e-commerce. Wix is more design-focused. Blogger was limiting but easy to use with Google products.
