Hi,

I have been working in Joomla, but now my boss wants me to look into wordPress. For smaller sites is WordPress better? easier to work with?

Thanks,
Shirin

Hi Shirin,

For smaller sites, yes, Wordpress is often best. It really depends on the site and the features needed though. It's not necessarily easier to work with and it just depends. I really like all of Joomla's options, whereas in Wordpress you often have to use custom code to accomplish what Joomla can do with options.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi shirin,

I agree with Nick. They each have their own uses. WordPress ia a little easier if you don't have to do anything really special, and if you want to run blog, but there is quite a bit to learn if you try to do anything non-standard. It usually involves actually writing code.

I say this so much I know it sounds like a broken record, but the best one you can use is the one you know how to use. Just because it has a reputation as being easier, doesn't mean it won't be confusing and hard to work with. It is so different from Joomla, that you'll be almost back to the beginning of the learning curve.


Cheers,
Ed
