Powering over four in 10 websites, WordPress is by far the world’s most popular content management system (CMS).
By making it incredibly simple to get a website off the ground, WordPress does have its place. But we believe there’s usually a better solution available.
Our team has many years’ experience designing, building and managing websites in WordPress. We’re able to take your existing WordPress website and migrate it over to a much more robust, powerful, user-friendly CMS.
There’s no denying WordPress’ popularity. Almost everyone who’s managed a website will have at least heard of it, if not be familiar with using it.
Indeed, WordPress has come far in the past few years with its Gutenberg block editor. It can still make sense for some websites.
However, in our experience, Craft CMS and Shopify offer a lot more security, functionality, flexibility and performance. A more professional solution, essentially.
WordPress started out as a blogging tool and, at its heart, that’s what it still is.
This means it often has to be heavily modified to allow it to manage more complex websites which other content management systems can do out of the box.
Craft CMS offers a far superior editing and authoring experience, able to be tailored for your content for improved usability, accessibility and speed.
It’s no secret — WordPress websites are some of the most frequently compromised.
This is chiefly as a result of poor maintenance by hosting providers. Coupled with the fact it is so popular, WordPress has a big target on its back for cyber criminals.
Shopify and Craft CMS offer much more secure and robust platforms which are less susceptible to attack.
WordPress relies heavily on themes and plugins which all bring their own code, packages and weight. This has the potential to slow things down.
Whilst it is possible to build fast and efficient sites in WordPress, the reality is most of the websites we come across simply aren't up to a good standard.
Given the importance of page speed for user experience, search engine rankings and conversion rates, an alternative CMS is usually the best course of action.
