Not all WordPress Developers are Created Equal

Digital Media and Internet Development
David J Steele
Friday, 25 November 2022

WordPress was released on May 27, 2003, by American developer Matt Mullenweg and English developer Mike Little. WordPress was created as a blog publishing system but has evolved into a complete content management system (CMS); a CMS that includes plugins, modules, templates/themes, mailing lists, galleries, and total e-commerce solutions.

WordPress is considered “open-source” source code made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Per hubspot.com, WordPress currently makes up 43.2% of all the websites on the internet. In addition, WordPress has been the fastest-growing content management system for 12 years.

Many marketing agencies adopted WordPress as the preferred platform to deliver client websites because they could be built with little to no code experience. While the website may be easy and fast to create, with over 60,000 free plugins and 9,000 free themes, it creates a problem. Security. WordPress is a hacker’s target with over 600 plugins, themes, and core vulnerabilities. The number of reported vulnerabilities in the first half of 2021 exceeded the total number registered in 2020.


How Can Intrada Help?

At Intrada, our development team has supported WordPress sites since 2006 and has mastered the art of delivering a quality, secure and conversion-driven website.  Our development team will tell you that WordPress has come a long way, as it now supports many popular programming languages like Rest API, oEmBed, JSON, and JavaScript. Over the years, Intrada has identified quality plugins and modules that provide the necessary functions but also the support, updates, performance, and security required to protect the visitor and client. In addition, Intrada has also created custom plugins, modules, and templates related to common needs to maximize performance, function and limit security threats.

Intrada is proficient in both the front-end user experience of a WordPress site and the remediation from plugin saturation. Unfortunately, these bloated templates cause poor performance and poor search engine optimization visibility.  We are frequently contacted to perform site audits where we continually find sites bloated with plugins that were never cleaned up, slow performance from poorly designed templates, or infections from bad patching, all leading to a bad user experience. A true WordPress developer does not rely on a plugin to create a function or security services from a third party to protect a site.

WordPress is an excellent tool for our Internet industry when developed and managed correctly. Conversely, a poorly designed or managed WordPress site can hinder growth or harm a company’s brand and reputation. The developer's knowledge and education are key to a WordPress site's quality.

With over 20 years of development experience, starting with a foundation in security and technology applications, Intrada can provide a quality WordPress experience for our clients and online visitors. Contact our team if you or your company is using WordPress and are interested in learning more about how Intrada supports, manages, markets, tracks, and delivers a WordPress Content Management System.
