What is WordPress?

WordPress is the web's most popular Content Management System and a staggering 15% of all of the websites on the internet use it to allow their administrators to make content changes. It is so popular because of its wealth of plugins, themes and modules as well as its ease of installation.

When to use WordPress?

WordPress is particularly good when it comes to driving:

  • Websites that need to manage articles created by multiple contributors such as online magazines, blogs and news platforms.
  • Blogging. This is going back to WordPress' roots.
  • Budget websites. A WordPress site doesn't instantly mean a cheap site, but we can take some approaches with WordPress to build sites on the cheap if you are happy to use pre-built themes.

An objective view of WordPress

Though there is no doubt that WordPress is a mature and powerful content management system, we feel that it isn't the right solution for every project. For example, if your web project has a lot of requirements that have to work exactly the way you want them to, then WordPress projects can quickly hit a wall should existing modules not suit your needs. There is always the option of getting your own modules made; however, this isn't always the best option.

We would recommend that you have a talk with Scorchsoft first about your requirements before deciding outright to go with WordPress. It may be that we can do a much better job with a different CMS such as MODX Revolution.

What Our Clients Say

  • Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.

  • We're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.

  • I'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!

  • The new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.

  • I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
