W3C decides not to use Wordpress for their next website
- geerlingguy 6y agoMore context from the agency working on the redesign (Studio 24): https://w3c.studio24.net/updates/on-not-choosing-wordpress/ https://w3c.studio24.net/updates/on-not-choosing-wordpress/ I always wonder (not sure in this case) if it's more of an "our agency is kind of halting new dev work on platform XYZ now, and this is actually the primary motivation", or if they truly believe it is in the client's best interest. Having worked for and with a number of digital agencies in the past, I'm always a little suspicious when an entire replatform onto some other system is suggested. Not that it's always the wrong decision, but sometimes if your internal team is used to something, pulling that out and switching to a different system entirely can be pretty disruptive. It can create new opportunities, but I've found with nonprofits unless the 'old' (which is Wordpress, which isn't so bad even though I hate it's guts) is really not fitting their needs, it's often not worth a complete replatform in the end (though the agency always gets paid handsomely, one way or the other).
