I never understood this. I've also been suggested Wordpress by a web guy.
The only time I had Wordpress on a pretty basic website I got a notification it had been hacked, while on holiday!
I've been using static websites ever since.
I suspect a lot of the current small Wordpress sites could be just a well and more securely served by some static thing.
- big_chungus 7y agoNot every site is static. Sometimes you need forms, processing, or other back-end business logic. Some people advocating using saas widgets for stuff like cc payments, but you're just farming out the dynamic parts to someone else. That gets hard to maintain with scale and with increased complexity. I see a lot of people on this site debating the pure merits of a technology, but what others know and can work with is just as important as the technology itself. People know wordpress.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoGetting harder to maintain with scale and increased complexity is not something I would associate with a small site though.
- fierarul 7y agoI agree with your remarks. There certainly are sites out there in need of dynamic behaviour. But that long tail has a lot of restaurant websites and such where nothing is really needed.
