So was I. But when I realized that commercial and even bespoke CMS' often blew WP out of the water I really changed my tune. And amazingly they ended up being cheaper, more performant and more secure.
Can you make it work? Yes. Should you? Very tough question. I can't see too many cases where I would reach for it.
- donohoe 3y agoI know many orgs dropping custom CMSs and proprietary ones and moving to WP :)
- nkozyra 3y agoI've seen this, too (I think we've crossed circles before) Generally it's because there are few commercial CMS companies left and media orgs are not software development companies. So neither solution is ideal and most media companies operate in a 5-10 year loop of dissatisfaction and change.
