Mandatek highly recommends WordPress as an excellent Content Management System for those clients who want to add their own content, pages, images, events, and so on. Now we feel really confident in recommending WordPress to our clients since we’ve learned that WordPress has been awarded the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. This is a landmark for WordPress, as it is the first time they have won this award, and it marks a shift in the public perception of WordPress, from blog software to full-featured CMS. No small contest, the Open Source CMS Awards received over 12,000 nominations and more than 23,000 votes across five categories.
In addition to winning in the Overall Best Open Source CMS category, WordPress was named first runner-up in the Best Open Source PHP CMS category. This is significant because they weren’t even in the top 5 last year, and now they’re #2, ahead of Joomla! As is stated on the Award site, “WordPress made its way into the top five for the first time. The fact that it was outranked by Drupal by a very slight margin indicates how popular it has become with users as well as developers over the past year.”
Every day thousands of new people are embracing WordPress to power not just their blogs but entire sites and communities without compromising on usability or scalability (as would be the case with a legacy CMS). Every member of the WordPress community, from core developer to beginning user, should be proud to be part of this momentum: congratulations to WordPress!
Well-written. Thanks. I have been learning a lot about different CMS programs lately. I have also been experimenting with setting up an e-commerce site using WordPress. Have you ever done that? Any suggestions for me? It’s pretty fun learning it. Thanks again for this blog – it is really educational.
I have been using Word Press even before it was popular. I have been blogging before the term was ever invented and Word Press was one of the first mediums that I used to write my daily journal entries. Now that blogging is such a tremendous way to get traffic to websites, Word Press makes it so much easier to have instant RSS feeds and new URLs. These are crucial for SEO purposes and content.
Great blog! Thanks!
