CMS Platforms: Frequently Asked Questions
Which CMS should we use?
For most businesses, WordPress — it is the easiest for a non-technical team to maintain and has the largest pool of developers if you ever move on. Drupal suits complex content structures and strict permissions, Magento suits large catalogs and B2B pricing, and Shopify suits stores that would rather not own the maintenance.
Can you move our site from one platform to another?
Yes. We migrate content, images, users and — for stores — products and order history, then put 301 redirects in place so the URLs you already rank for keep working. Your current site stays live until the new one is signed off.
Is WordPress secure enough for a business site?
Yes, when it is maintained. Almost every WordPress site that gets compromised was running an outdated plugin or a nulled theme. Kept patched, on decent hosting, with sensible access control, it is as safe as anything else.
What if our team has never used a CMS before?
We train your team on the parts they will actually touch and set the admin up so there are fewer ways to break things. Most people are comfortable editing pages within an hour.
Do we have to keep paying you to make changes?
No. The site is built so your team can update content without calling us. Clients keep us on for bigger changes and maintenance because they want to, not because they are locked in.
Can you take over a site another agency built?
Frequently. We audit what is there, document it, fix the urgent problems, then work out whether it is worth keeping or replacing. You get the honest answer even when it is not the one that bills more.
