Website Platforms

Why use WordPress?

The WordPress Content Management System (CMS) is the most popular on the planet. Combined with Woo Commerce also makes it the number one platform for E-Commerce.

Are there other platforms similar to WordPress?

Yes. Older Trinis will recall back in the day, two other popular platforms, namely, Joomla and Drupal. They were typically in the same CMS conversation with WordPress, but it was only WordPress that took off and dominates to today. Joomla and Drupal are still in use today but they serve more specialized niches and remain alternatives to WordPress.

Do you use other platforms like Wix, Weebly?

No. These are generally DIY website platforms for savvy users who want simple websites that they can build and manage without hiring a professional web designer. These platforms are not at the same level of WordPress.
