“Isn’t WordPress is just a blogging platform, not suitable for large scale websites?”
It’s easy for many agencies and suppliers to say – “WordPress is just a blog platform, it’s not a true Content Management System”… the fact of the matter is that this statement couldn’t be further from the truth!
WordPress started as a blogging platform nearly 15 years ago, but since then it has grown to accommodate all the features you see in the world’s best Content Management Systems, including advanced taxonomies and content relationships, custom post types, a number of advanced, very flexible built-in API’s to control such things as menus and custom options, very fine granular control over user roles and capabilities… the list goes on.
It can be said with confidence that WordPress is one of the most powerful CMS platforms available, as each component has been well thought-out and coded to purpose, rather than relying on legacy old code and concepts like many other CMS platforms available. It offers experienced developers lots of flexibility to interact and customise the way WordPress works for each individual client’s needs.
You can see from the small handful of examples above that WordPress is trusted as the Content Management System of choice by some of the biggest brands in the world who all have extremely high traffic websites. According to W3Tech, as of October 2018 WordPress is used by 59.5% of all the websites whose content management systems are known which is a staggering 32.1% of all websites they analyse; so you know you’re in great company when your website is built on WordPress!
