What is WordPress?

Let’s start with an overview of WordPress. For those of you who still think WordPress is just a blogging platform—allow us to welcome you to 2019, where WordPress is now the web’s leading content management system (CMS). A content management system allows you to edit the appearance of your website without having to use code. Most websites use some kind of CMS to power their website, and increasingly, they’re turning to WordPress. In fact, over 30% of websites are powered by WordPress! Perhaps one of the most notable facts about WordPress is that it’s open-source. This means that it’s completely free (with caveats, because of course). The basic software of WordPress is free along with a huge library of plug-ins. However, more advanced features come at a cost. 

What is enterprise-level WordPress?

Enterprise-level WordPress functions just as regular WordPress. When people say “enterprise-level WordPress” they are likely referring to the enterprise-level capabilities that WordPress offers. With features such as plugins and integration abilities, a WordPress website can easily handle the complexity of a large website.

As you’re thinking through the needs of an enterprise organization, it’s likely that those needs include localization, multilingual content, and many smaller microsites. The reason many enterprise companies are shifting to WordPress is its ability to take on the challenges of their website without skimping on security.

Who’s using enterprise-level WordPress?

As mentioned earlier, WordPress is the CMS of choice for 30% of websites. Here are a few notable enterprises who chose WordPress:

Why we’re using WordPress at an enterprise level: 

  • It’s user friendly 
    • Navigation around the backend of WordPress is incredibly user friendly. This means that it’s easy for members of a team without any web development or coding knowledge to make edits. 
  • It’s scalable
    • WordPress is built with core web technologies. In other words, websites built with WordPress have the ability to easily convert from small scale to enterprise level. We love this feature because it means that a smaller company with growth on the horizon will have a website that can adapt as they do. 
  •  It has plugins
    • The plugin feature on WordPress allows you to extend the functionality of or add new features to your website. WordPress has over 56,000 plugins, making it easy to customize your site to exactly what you need it to be.
  • It’s SEO friendly
    • WordPress is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) friendly. This feature is a huge selling point both for enterprise-level companies with large amounts of content on their website and for smaller companies who want to grow.  
  • It offers multi-site management
    • The multi-site feature allows for the central management of several domains. This is good for large companies with several sites.
  • It’s constantly updated
    • WordPress is constantly being updated (around 2 times a month). This means that bugs and glitches are often worked out before they can even impact your website. This is crucial for enterprise-level companies who see a large number of visitors each month.
  • It supports multi-language needs
    • WordPress’ multi-language tools support over 70 languages. This feature is incredibly useful for multinational companies.
  • It has role management tools
    • WordPress’s user roles and capabilities system allows organizations to establish various levels of access. This makes it easy for enterprise-level companies to efficiently delegate responsibility without compromising security.
