WordPress is our platform of choice, and it powers a huge share of the web for good reasons. But we would not be much of a partner if we pretended it was always the answer. Here is an honest look at why we build on WordPress, and when we do not.
Why we love WordPress
It is flexible, open source and you own it outright. It handles content beautifully, scales from a small site to a large one, and has a vast community behind it. For most businesses, galleries and not-for-profits, it is the most capable and cost-effective choice by a wide margin.
What it does brilliantly
- Content-rich sites that need to grow and change.
- Custom designs, themes and plugins built around your needs.
- E-commerce through WooCommerce.
- Full control with no platform lock-in.
When something else fits better
If a business is purely a high-volume online store, Shopify can be the simpler choice. Some specialised apps or products need a fully custom build. The right tool depends on the job, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong thing.
The platform matters less than the build
In the end, a well-built site on the right platform beats a poorly built one anywhere. That judgement, and the craft to deliver it, is what we bring as part of the Defyn family.
