Not going for WordPress thingy now. Just a thought after no idea about my life
Seriously, if not because of the boring life I have had, I wouldn’t go for those if else thingy.
Anyway, it’s been sometimes I choose WordPress as a CMS for quite a few websites. The main point were:
Ease of use

CMS was a system created for non-tech savvy. Who knows nothing but clicking here and there to get their content update. A few successful CMS like WordPress (duh), Joomla and Drupal has a very simple yet easy to understand admin interface. That is what I called, click and submit. The ease of use.
Search engine friendly

Just how many website actually created for search engine friendly? A lot of developer forgot this part (well, maybe not for GetSimple CMS
). By saying search engine friendly, I mean laoding speed, validation of the source and the technology used. Of course those customisable CMS always make a good search engine friendly because the template… And hack
Extensions

This is one function that cannot be missed. I notice that a lot of CMS doesn’t comes with a contact form
I am pretty satisfy with GetSimple CMS contact form, exactly like Contact Form 7
WordPress listed more than 8,000 plugins, Joomla with more than 4,000 extensions. You’ll be amaze what you can do with one simple CMS.
