Last month I did a guest article for Jemima Gibbons monthly newsletter on  Freshbusinessthinking.com about Social Media Monitoring and Analytics.  In that same newsletter Nikki Pilkington argued why WordPress is a good choice for your website.  I decided I wanted to argue, passionately, the opposite, and my article has just been published there this month.  Here is the BTZ version.  First I need to disclose that I'm a stakeholder in a particular CMS/Platform developer (author of WordFrame and PageTypes).  However, I'll try and explain my case as objectively as possible. 

The first thing to say is that Nikki's article starts with a vital, core truth - whether your website is created by you, some experts in your team, website developers you've hired or an external agency, it needs a content management system (CMS) at its heart.  You need to be in control of the content without needing technical expertise.  You shouldn't be paying an agency or a developer every time you want to change a word, add a page, or move a menu option.  But is WordPress the right CMS for your website?

It's a blogging tool, not a CMS
WordPress is great ...
