For some time now WordPress has grown as a CMS, in addition to offering great designs and being the reference for sites with a lot of content, for example Digital newspapers, it has been growing in functionalities, which has made it ideal to occupy niches that until now were occupied by theoretically superior CMS, such as Drupal or Liferay.
It hasn’t been an easy step, because institutions like City Councils quickly made the leap to advanced CMS: they started by trusting private technologies created especially to carry out this type of websites, with significant money investments. When they started the leap to efficient Open Source technologies they trusted tools like Drupal, a good choice initially superior to WordPress, which was somewhat limited in advanced functionalities.
Technologies have been growing in advanced features, WordPress historically has followed the strategy of staying simple and expanding, being the most popular in the web development sector, it has undoubtedly achieved it. For a few years now, by a large difference, it’s no longer just a blog site, but the most used technology for websites. The next objective is to conquer the space occupied by other CMS that until now were more advanced and offered more possibilities to developers to build complex logic and functionalities.
Today, WordPress is the trusted technology of a large number of City Councils.
