- JodieBenitez 3y agoI've had enough problems with WP installs that I won't ever touch it again and I don't even want to list specific issues, but it's all about quality. So for a while it has been the same story, over and over: - non technical someone wants a CMS - I tell them I'll build them what they need, then give them a quote - non technical someone doesn't like my quote and installs Wordpress and a gazillion shiny plugins, because "it's easy with the shiny admin panel and I can install it anywhere for cheap and all the functionality is already covered in plugins" - things break, because plugins are meh - things go real bad, security issues, loss of data, shitty performance, the whole piñata - non technical someone cries over the phone "can you fix my website ???" - I won't fix their website because I like to build things, not clean up someone else's mess. Feel free to fill that business opportunity but I want to do something else.
