Is WordPress Really the Right CMS Platform for Your Business Website? There is no doubt that WordPress has a strong presence as a Web solution CMS platform and many great looking websites are developed with WordPress for all sorts of businesses. The great attraction for what started out as a blogging solution is that it is free.
But like so many things that are free it does come at a cost when it comes to building robust commercial grade websites in many are also some hidden aspects may not make this a platform your business' website.
The above reasons, WordPress can offer a low price solution to those seeking a new and impressive looking Web presence. Development and implementation overheads are low compared to the other more commercial grade solutions.
As stated, there are costs and many of these are in direct will cost you may not realise until your site has been running for some time.
We would suggest that in many cases it is not. For anyone with other than the brochure style website, WordPress can leave you exposed to a wide range of issues that will cost you far more than your original outlay. In managing your website costs is important to understand your TCO (total cost of ownership). A matter often overlooked is the future costs of upgrading site functionality as your business needs change. You want assurance that your website can be readily adapted to your changing business needs and those of your market.
Top left designs made a deliberate decision when it was established not to offer WordPress as a solution platform for the very reasons given above- a lack of commercial grade security, cost of maintenance and support to our clients and managing system compatibility. We don't say there is no place for WordPress - we just don't believe it to be the platform for us to provide the quality of web solutions our clients should have.
Our solutions are built on Adobe Business Catalyst as we found this to be the only non-proprietary Content Management System platform that we could identify offering all the key aspects of running an online business within the one package in a totally secure environment. Clients were not tied to any single web development company’s own CMS platform and had choice of web developer for their solution and support.
If you would like to know more about our web solutions offering a single integrated business great solution then please feel free to contact us.
