> there's a thriving economy based on WP
a lot of digital marketing/service company use WP to quickly setup a website for their client. my current employer's website is a WP site build by a third party.
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoYep, But I really don't know whether that's for good or bad overall. Good for that 'digital marketing/service company', But there are better options for your employer in terms of cost/performance/security; Better options have been available for over past 5 years.
- aik 5y agoI’m curious what options you are considering here that are comparable and don’t take 10x more technical skill and time? Sites like Squarespace or Wix? Or Webflow?
- Abishek_Muthian 5y agoCorrect, Those are the ones I've linked to in my original comment. Of course website-builders do come with the caveats of vendor locking, But then again the typical relationship between 'digital marketing/service company' and the client mentioned in the parent comment is often much worse.
- MangoCoffee 5y agothis is just my experiences from years of working in small to mid size company. company tend to see company's website as part of marketing thus marketing dept usually have the final say and they tend to go with what digital marketing/service company recommended. edit: not sure if that's a blessing but at least I don't have to deal with marketing people going over some small details like color...etc. the website that I build is web application for internal use.
