While Excel is a powerful tool for organizing data and creating basic inventory spreadsheets, it lacks the automation and integration capabilities that Quixy provides. Also, we can integrate with other business systems, such as accounting and order fulfillment systems. So, we …
The main reasons to select Quixy was because of the customer support, ease of use, pricing and it was a local company that we could reach out to them anytime. Our implementation team was very comfortable using the platform.
its all in what you want and how you want to do it. The newer SaaS platforms can be much easier to use for non web people. Also the increasing political issues within the WordPress leadership and communities is starting to get annoying.
WordPress simply has so many more options to customize both our and the users experience. Wix also is really expensive in the long run, does not let you add plugins or customize as much as you want. Jimdo is similar, just not quite as expensive. When growing our business, those …
There are no other site builders/platforms that stand up to the ease and versatility (heavy custom coding and customizations included) as Wordpress. Drupal is clunky and outdated, as is Joomla, and while Wix or Squarespace may be sufficient for someone with very low web needs, …
WordPress has the most open abilities to change the technical foundations. Whereas, other platforms typically have their own niches of use cases; e.g. focusing on page builders, drag and drop, more static code, themes etc... WordPress offers a bit more flexibilities as it can …
I like that WordPress sites can be backed up and moved to new servers if needed. Some of the other template sites lock you in because their back-end code is what makes it run.
WordPress was very similar to the others and we mostly chose to use WordPress based on the recommendation of an employee who used the site for building other websites. We were told that it was very user-friendly. which it is, and so we made the decision to stick with a product …
I use a lot of business software. Some I use for a short while. Some I never stop using. WordPress has been part of my business life for 15 years and has never disappointed me. It has always improved and I never felt the "upgrade" were a downgrade... this is one of the few …
To work with WordPress your company needs a developer, no matter what. Unless you have the experienced developer in house, you will need one. Squarespace is superfriendly and easy to work. Has all the features for a simple and clean website. WordPress lacks this part.
DIY builders have their place for people that don't have technical ability or support. But Wordpress opens a world of custom options to anyone with the ability to learn/create those things. even if you're not a back end developer / use No-code options
Wordpress is an open source, and it will always come with a set of drawbacks but also benefits. We see a major drawback in the hosting, which can get complex, and it becomes hard to have a fully functioning and fast site running. Other solutions are often SaaS, which handles …
Shopify is much better for big e-commerce sites but is more expensive. WordPress is a good solution for customers who want a low-cost option or are unsure if their website will be profitable. Wordpress is a good way to prove that a concept for selling a product will work online.
I have not used Drupal or Joomla for several years, but WordPress is easier to use than those platforms from when I used them last. It's so easy to find a web developer who knows WordPress if I ever need help. And there are so many plugins and software platforms that …
In our experience, Drupal is so much hard to use and customize. Their upgrade path is almost nonexistent. We've had such a hard time over the years working to try and keep using and upgrading and updating Drupal, but we're SO DONE with it. We have decided to leave Drupal …
We've tried a decent variety of other platforms throughout the years, and all-in-all we still consistently use WordPress for all kinds of business solutions. We have found while others excel in specific areas, WordPress excels in almost every area pound for pound. We highly …
Director of UX development, social media and SEO/SEM
Chose WordPress
WordPress is easier to learn and implement. It isn’t as robust as drupal and joomla out of the box, but with plugins and themes you can accomplish most things that these other CMS can do. Although WordPress can get bulky as you add more functionality, in comparison it’s easier …
WordPress was the right choice for our organization for web content management and hosting our website. We selected it on the recommendation of a community partner but are more than comfortable with that decision. From our usage, WordPress appears to be near the top of the heap …
WordPress has WAY more to offer than the previous website platform I used. I am so appreciative of WordPress for years of successful writing and publishing.
WordPress doesn't have the simplest deliverability options, especially for email and audio (podcasting), so Substack wins there. It's a lot cheaper and more customizable than Substack and Squarespace, though.
Quixy BPM for managing business processes distinguishes itself through its user-friendly interface and the absence of any coding requirements. This makes it an ideal solution for companies looking to streamline their operations. Quixy BPM is suitable for businesses of all sizes and represents a cost-effective way to save time and effort.
In my opinion, smaller organizations with simpler layouts would be well suited to use WordPress, however, larger organizations with more advanced website feature needs may need another product. We found the website to be great at first, but as we grew, we needed more options that were not fitting for the product we had with WordPress and had to look at alternatives.
WordPress breaks often so you need to have someone who understands how to troubleshoot, which can take time and money.
Some plugins are easier to customize than others, for example, some don't require any coding knowledge while others do. This can limit your project if you are not a coder.
WordPress can be easily hacked, so you also need someone who can ensure your sites are secure.
As time goes on, websites will become less focused on paged content and more immersive. At the same time, the need for security will only go up. While WordPress has served the web community well for over 11 years, it's probably time to look for other better platforms.
Quixy has allowed us to focus on more important tasks, as the platform takes care of labor-intensive administrative work. The automation of various processes has been invaluable, as it has saved us a considerable amount of time and resources. Overall, Quixy has transformed our administrative work and has enabled us to allocate more resources to critical tasks, leading to better outcomes for our organization.
WordPress has excellent UX/UI, mainly because it's familiar. The platform is still a bit dated on the back end, but it has improved from the past. I wouldn't give it a 10 in this area because it does require some coding and development knowledge. You can't just jump in and create a website with confidence, like you would with Jimdo, Squarespace or similar tools.
Anyone can visit WordPress.org and download a fully functional copy of WordPress free of charge. Additionally, WordPress is offered to users as open-source software, which means that anyone can customize the code to create new applications and make these available to other WordPress users.
Mostly, any performance issues have to do with using too many plugins and these can sometimes slow down the overall performance of your site. It is very tempting to start adding lots of plugins to your WordPress site, however, as there are thousands of great plugins to choose from and so many of them help you do amazing things on your site. If you begin to notice performance issues with your WordPress site (e.g. pages being slow to load), there are ways to optimize the performance of your site, but this requires learning the process. WordPress users can learn how to optimize their WordPress sites by downloading the WPTrainMe WordPress training plugin (WPTrainMe.com) and going through the detailed step-by-step WordPress optimization tutorials.
WordPress itself only has community service so your experience will depend on where you turn. Online, through forums and community boards, support is rudimentary but effective. You can easily turn to your local community and find exceptional individuals who know and use WordPress regularly for more advanced, inexpensive, support. I'm rating this less than 10 because of the lack of any formal support provided by a company.
Varies by the person providing training. High marks as it's incredibly easy to find experienced individuals in your community to provide training on any aspect of WordPress from content marketing, SEO, plugin development, theme design, etc. Less than 10 though as the training is community based and expectations for a session you find may fall short.
WordPress is not a great solution if you have: 1) A larger site with performance / availability requirements. 2) Multiple types of content you want to share - each with its own underlying data structure. 3) Multiple sites you need to manage. For very small sites where these needs are not paramount, WordPress is a decent solution
While Excel is a powerful tool for organizing data and creating basic inventory spreadsheets, it lacks the automation and integration capabilities that Quixy provides. Also, we can integrate with other business systems, such as accounting and order fulfillment systems. So, we can actually have centralized system connected across several departments for automation.
There are no other site builders/platforms that stand up to the ease and versatility (heavy custom coding and customizations included) as Wordpress. Drupal is clunky and outdated, as is Joomla, and while Wix or Squarespace may be sufficient for someone with very low web needs, much like Shopify, it's incredibly limiting and either requires hitting it with a hammer and hacking code together to do what you want, or relying on often shoddily-built third party themes and liquid scripts.
WordPress is completely scalable. You can get started immediately with a very simple "out-of-the box" WordPress installation and then add whatever functionality you need as and when you need it, and continue expanding. Often we will create various WordPress sites on the same domain to handle different aspects of our strategy (e.g. one site for the sales pages, product information and/or a marketing blog, another for delivering products securely through a private membership site, and another for running an affiliate program or other application), and then ties all of these sites together using a common theme and links on each of the site's menus. Additionally, WordPress offers a multisite function that allows organizations and institutions to manage networks of sites managed by separate individual site owners, but centrally administered by the parent organization. You can also expand WordPress into a social networking or community site, forums, etc. The same scalability applies to web design. You can start with a simple design and then scale things up to display sites with amazing visual features, including animations and video effects, sliding images and animated product image galleries, elements that appear and fade from visitor browsers, etc. The scaling possibilities of WordPress are truly endless.
