Large scaling businesses have demanding and very specific requirements for their Content Management Systems, so it is natural to wonder if something as every day as WordPress is up to the task.

Allow us to dispel any such misgivings that might have about the CMS that powers 40% of the web and more than 25% of the websites with the most traffic. As a WordPress agency for development favored by businesses of different sizes, we at Vipe Studio can list out quite a few reasons for any enterprise to choose WordPress.

What’s Different About Enterprises

Large businesses will more often than not have a global reach, many subsidiaries, and interests in multiple different industries. Their website will then need sub-sites, multiple languages and localizations, subdomains, and to top it all off, lots of traffic.

This poses multiple challenges to any potential CMS, but WordPress has built its reputation on solving challenges just like these.

Why WordPress Works Great For Larger Businesses

It might not be common knowledge that WordPress is indeed the CMS of choice for many big name firms and personalities – The White House, Disney, Sony, and even celebrities like Justin Bieber run WordPress-powered websites.

So, here are the factors that make WordPress perfect for the modern-day corporate behemoths

Strong Community

Despite its humble roots as one of many blogging platforms, WordPress’s community ethos and open-source nature have ensured that it has grown into something else entirely. WordPress’s large but cohesive community has always believed in defining what the Web should be like, rather than just enthusing about the technology – for instance, clients, service providers, partners all come together to organize and contribute to the WordCamps held all over the world every year.

Strategic Innovations in WordPress for Enhanced Enterprise Operations

The size and quality of this community is the reason why the development and support resources available to any enterprise from WordPress vastly outnumber anything the competition can offer.

Reliability

The large corporate entities who shrink from WordPress often do so because WordPress isn’t just some company that they can deal with. And on the face of it, that doesn’t score very many reliability points.

But follow that line of thinking a little further, and we see that WordPress has its unassailable lead precisely because of this – the best talent flocks to help add functionality and energy to WordPress, and the strong sense of community we just described. That means that, unlike companies that can go belly up without warning, WordPress can never just ‘shut down’, making it perhaps the most reliable option of all.

Security

Not to harp on about the strong community, but it plays yet another role. The WordPress Core is meant to be highly secure (and that’s why we always recommend regular updates!), but it is the WP security team of experts who keep in touch with hosting providers and open-source counterparts to learn what they can and use it. As long as they ensure WordPress best practices, any large multinational firm can benefit from the security that’s built into WordPress.

WordPress Website Guardians: Challenge Accepted

Flexibility

With a sizeable library of plugins (54,000 and counting!), the only real problem a large organization would face with WordPress is sifting through them to find the best and most appropriate plugins, and how not to go overboard with installing them!

However, just in case an enterprise needs a more unique and specialized solution, there’s always a dependable WordPress agency for development just around the corner – like our experienced team at Vipe Studio.

Easy to Run

For a website administrator, WordPress is a dream come true. Creating, editing, and adding content and media to a website requires very little knowledge and even plugins can be installed without the need for a How-To article or tutorial video.

SEO

If we’ve said it once, we’ll say it a hundred times – SEO on WordPress is easy and very effective. Google themselves appreciate how much easier WordPress makes it for people to add SEO enhancements to websites.

And with search and search engines being as ubiquitous and every day as they are, a business of any size can see the value in having prominence in search results.

Scalability

Even the most elegantly designed and optimized CMS is only as good as the amount of traffic it can handle, and WordPress takes the crown in this arena as well.

Media personalities with hundreds of millions of fans have WordPress portals that can easily handle that magnitude of traffic.
