When a company site on WordPress is enough, and when the job outgrows it

Y.Emre Konar · company site on WordPress when it fits

A company site can run on WordPress. The decision is not the tool. It is whether the enquiry path, the languages and the accounts stay with you.

A company site can be built on WordPress. The question is not the name of the tool. If the enquiry path, the languages and the accounts stay with you, the tool can do the job. If they do not, a well-known tool still does not produce a company site.

When it is enough

If pages, articles and one form carry the company story, WordPress is a sufficient first release. If the team will update the copy itself, the editing screen is there for that. If the languages are few and each language has a known office, the structure stays simple. A simple structure is also easier to leave with later. A complicated setup is not correct merely because the tool is familiar.

When it is not enough

If a dealer order, an approval chain, stock, or an internal quote record is part of the first release, that is not a site job. It needs custom software. Squeezing a portal into WordPress locks both the site and the record. If the buyer leaves an enquiry and there is no cart, a shop add-on is not the first release either. The tool is not chosen to switch on a feature you do not sell.

The accounts come before the tool

The company should own the domain, the ad account, and the code. An editing password in your hands does not make the site yours if the domain is registered to the supplier. If the code cannot be taken out, you also cannot change the tool. HED Creative, the partner in Berlin or Ankara, leaves WordPress as a tool. It does not sell the job as the tool. The choice is written by looking at the enquiry path.

Who touches it after launch

The company updates the copy. Who applies patches is written as its own line. If it is not, the site stays where it is at the first fault. The backup sits where you can download it. If the theme fee is charged to the company card, renewal depends on you. A renewal on a supplier card drops the editing when that card drops.

To have the choice written, name the current tool and who receives the enquiry on website development. Shared frame or purpose-built: ready-made or purpose-built.

Questions companies ask

Is WordPress enough for a company site?

Yes, if pages, articles and a form are enough. Not if a portal, stock or an internal quote record is in the first release. Write who receives the enquiry.

Can the team update the copy?

Yes. The editing screen is there for that. Patches are a separate line. Updating copy is not a patch.

Should we switch on a shop add-on?

Not if the buyer leaves an enquiry and there is no cart. A shop is a separate scope when payment and stock are really required.

If we have the password, is the site ours?

No. The company should also hold the domain, the ad account and the code. A password alone is not a handover.

Whose card pays the theme fee?

The company card. A renewal on a supplier card drops the editing when that card drops.
