WordPress provides a better, more versatile and flexible platform than Episerver.

Episerver, launched in 1994, is a popular solution to web content management, digital marketing and commerce. The services are directed towards enterprise companies, and provide pricing plans that reflect this target audience. Aside from offering more cost-effective solutions for users ranging from individual to large company; WordPress provides a better, more versatile and flexible platform. In practically every comparison you read, WordPress is described as a “blogging platform”. While, this is how WordPress got its start, it is simply is no longer the case. You can still create a blog on WordPress with little effort, but the platform has been a full-fledge content-management system for some time. WordPress provides administrative support on a wide variety of devices, the platform is easy to use, and it provides the user with many more features than Episerver and other enterprise-level competitors.

Device Support

In a world where people access sites on a variety of different devices, it’s important that your site is visible and responsive to all users trying to access it. While Episerver provides a responsive platform for Windows and Mac devices, WordPress can provide responsive access to a much wider variety of systems. In addition to being responsive on Windows and Mac platforms, WordPress sites are responsive to users accessing on iPhone,iPad, and Android devices as well. Approximately 52% of users access websites from their mobile devices, and having a website that caters to those users is critical. A responsive website reduces bounce rate by improving user experience and the overall impression of your site.

Ease of Use

A major drawback that comes with Episerver is that it’s a major time commitment. People choosing to adopt this platform have to put a lot of work into learning the interface and all the techniques required to host a website on the platform. The WordPress user interface is straightforward and easy to learn. The WordPress dashboard allows you to easily modify and update your site with little to no knowledge of web development. Also, allowing multiple users with different levels of access is a simple process on the platform. If there are multiple people responsible for modifying the site, those users don’t always have to go through the site administrator to make modifications. In turn, the administrator does not need to worry about other contributors making modifications to the website beyond their scope of access.

More Features

In addition to providing service at a significantly lower cost than Episerver; WordPress provides a much wider variety of features available to each user. Many of Episerver’s features are simply base expectations of what a user should have when choosing a content management system (CMS). These include content management, digital commerce and marketing, multi-site management, database support, and some basic customization options. In addition to the basic expectations associated with choosing a CMS, WordPress provides built-in search engine optimization, easy publishing, multilingual support, an extensive plugin library for additional functionality, a wide variety of free templates and customization, and a supportive community for troubleshooting. Basically, everything WordPress provides improves the user experience and makes any part of website maintenance convenient and easy to do. Customization is made simple even if you don’t have experience with web development, and there are thousands of pre-made themes to choose from. The plugin library is a major plus to WordPress, providing a large quantity of extra functionality to be easily added to each site for free. Overall, WordPress provides more features than Episerver and provides a much more effective pricing plan for those features.

I have worked with WordHerd on many website projects and they have consistently met or exceeded my expectations. WordHerd is very easy to work with and kept me updated on the progress of our projects while delivering on time.

WordHerd did an amazing job with our CMS migration to WordPress. They over-delivered on our expectations and handled the process end to end, on time, and on budget. They had the experience and depth of knowledge to handle our large scale project, which was built on an out of date, clunky CMS. I would highly recommend WordHerd for any development project.

WordHerd has been fantastic to work with. We’re always impressed with their ability to take our goals and ideas, and bring them to life online. It’s hard to find a company that can design and develop, they excel in both and have always delivered an end product that we love.

WordHerd helped convert our website from a proprietary CMS that was being sunset to WordPress. They were by far the most cost-effective solution we could find and completed the work under a tight deadline. They responded to our questions and concerns promptly throughout the project.
