Picture of a meeting room with two sides One side is a marketing team that looks creative but uncomfortable. The other side is an IT team that looks serious and worried. In the middle of the table there is a WordPress, Joomla, and Webflow logo.

Why does that problem occur: the difference in architecture that must be understood

The source of all problems comes from the basic architecture of each CMS that is completely different. Imagine:

WordPress and Joomla (architecture Open-Source): It's like you got. "Green printing house with land" for free. Do you have a full freedom to build a house, any type of kitchen? (Through the so -called "plugin" and "theme") it looks very good at first But ... the burden of finding good artisans, maintenance of the house from collapsing, preventing theft (Security), and paying all the repair costs are "100%of your duty".

Webflow (SAAS - Software As a Service): It is like you "Buy luxury condos in the premium project". Building structure, 24 -hour security system, engineering team that takes care of the elevator and electric water system, and world -class internet speed. All of this is right "Complete management" by the project developer Your duty is "The interior" will be beautiful and fully used as needed. You may not be able to smash the main structure wall. But you have the highest freedom to design the living space in your own room.

This difference that causes the gap. The Open-Source system gives "freedom" but comes with a "burden" while the SAAS system gives "stability and peace of mind" in exchange for "control" that most users do not need to touch.

There are pictures of people carrying various icons (Server, Security, Updates, PLUGINS) until the right side is "SAAS (Webfow" is a picture of a happy room design. With those icons floating around In the defensive armor that says "Managed Hosting"

If left, how will it affect?: The cost of the visible "free item"

Choosing a "CMS that seems free" or "familiar" but not suitable for the organization's context. May lead to a gradual disaster Quietly eat your business:

• Security Nightmares: WordPress is the most attacked CMS in the world. Not because it's not good, but because of the "plugin's ecosystem" with tens of thousands Body from developers around the world Is the back door that the hacker likes The inconsistent update between plugin, theme, and the WordPress itself, creating a loophole that the IT team has to keep closing all the time. Which for the organization website This is the highest risk.
• Performance Drain: Websites that are loaded late for more than 3 seconds are the good conversion killing. Requires both Premium Hosting, Caching Plugin, and Optimize by experts All of which are "costs" that increase
• The total cost of Ownership (TO) escalated: Open -Sour's "free" is only free, but the true TCO is High quality hosting values, the annual Premium plug, developer wages to maintain and solve emergency problems. Which, when combined, may be "more expensive than" Webflow's subscription in the long run
• Marketing Bottleneck: The most painful impact is that the marketing team cannot move forward. To create a new webpage or experimenting A/B Testing becomes a big deal that has to go through many steps. Make your organization move slower than the competitors in the market unfortunately. Take a look at the in -depth comparison at the Webflow VS Wordpress for our business website.

Is there any solution? And where should it start: Compare 4 main cores

The decision will be much easier if we use the "correct" framework by comparing in 4 important dimensions that directly affect corporate business:

1. Security dimension (Security):
   • WordPress/Joomla: Safety is "The responsibility of the user" you must install safety plug -in, set up Firewall, and always update everything.
   • Webflow: Safety is "Part of the service" (Managed Security) comes with free SSL Certificate, hosting on AWS with the highest safety, and the team that takes care of various patchs. For ourselves without having to do anything Reduce the burden of the IT team
2. Dimension of efficiency and speed (Performance):
   • WordPress/Joomla: The speed depends on "External factors" such as the quality of the hosting, the number of plugins installed, and the correct Caching settings
   • Webflow: BUILT-in High Performance, because using world-class CDN, Fastly and Amazon Cloudfront, allowing the website to download quickly from all corners of the world. And the code is much clean (Clean Code)
3. Ease of use & scalability:
   • WordPress/Joomla: The Marketing team may use the backnd quite limited. The complex adjustment of the design must always rely on the Developer.
   • Webflow: Designed for "Releasing the power of the marketing team" with Visual Designer, which provides the most independent design without having to write the code and "Editor Mode", which allows the content team to be able to correct the content on the actual page safely and easily. Read more why Webflow CMS is better than WordPress.
4. Total Cost of Ownership - TO):
   • WordPress/Joomla: Low initial costs, but "high hidden costs" and "difficult to guess"
   • Webflow: It is a subscription that "predict the cost" clear every month/year. When including hosting, CDN, SSL, and the lost maintenance is often "cheaper" in the long term for the organization.

A reliable source of information like CMSWRE often talks about the trend of CMS that aims to go to SAAS more, and the review platform like G2 shows the satisfaction of the webflow users that are very high in these dimensions.

Examples from the real thing that used to be successful: When "Tech-Startup", the old web salad to light speed

Imagine a Tech Startup that is growing rapidly. Their original website that was created on WordPress began to show the "illness".

After thorough evaluation They decided to "move home" to the webflow. The results in the first 3 months are very amazing:

Questions that people tend to wonder And the answers that are cleared

Q: Webflow seems more expensive than WordPress that is "free", isn't it?
Answer: It's a very good question. If you just look at the "software", yes. WordPress is free, but if looking at the angle of "The total cost of ownership (TO)" for the organization, Webflow is usually "cheaper" because the Webflow's subscription price includes premium hosting, cdn, ssl, security maintenance, and all automatic updates. These expenses on the WordPress side, you have to pay separately and often escalate than you think.

Question: Webflow, customized with a code or adding a very complex feature as WordPress?
Answer: In terms of "the number of ready -made plug -in" for a very specialized function, WordPress still has more options, but the webflow is not limited. We can freely increase the Custom Code (HTML/CSS/JS), connect to other systems through API completely, and use tools like Zapier or Make to create complex workflow workflow. For the needs of most organization websites (95%+), Webflow can answer thoroughly without having to bear the safety risk from the plug of Third-Party.

Q: So Joomla? Is there still a person who is using it?
Answer: Joomla is still a powerful CMS and has a user. Especially for websites that need users (User Management) or a very complex Community website. But have to admit that there is a higher Learning Curve and the Community of developers that are smaller than WordPress, making people look after or find solutions may be more difficult today. For new organization web projects Most of them are not in the top choices. If interested in comparison for investors' relationships Can read more at the best CMS for investors' relationships.
