Wordpress Wins CMS Award – And That’s Why We Built on Wordpress.

Still think Wordpress is for kids who blog? Think again.

WordPress has been awarded the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award in the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. It is the first time they’ve won this award, and it marks a significant shift in the public perception of WordPress, from basic blog software to full-featured CMS – Content Management System. The Open Source CMS Awards received over 12,000 nominations and more than 23,000 votes across five categories.

In addition to winning in the Overall Best Open Source CMS category, WordPress was named first runner-up in the Best Open Source PHP CMS category, ahead of Joomla! The fact that it was outranked only by Drupal, and by only a very slight margin, indicates just how popular Wordpress has become.

Every day thousands of individuals, small businesses and even major corporations, including mass media are embracing WordPress to power not just their blogs but entire sites and social communities without compromising on usability or scalability (as would be the case with a legacy CMS). And Focus Integrated Marketing is one of those companies. This site is built on Wordpress. The ease of use of the CMS, in addition to the lost cost and huge development time savings all factored into our decision to use this amazing Open Source Software Solution.

It has also become the development platform of choice for our web projects with limited budgets and aggressive deadlines. So, if someone is telling you that Wordpress is just for blogging, you may want to get a second opinion, from us. Custom [[CMS - Content Management Systems]] have a place, but not every company needs one.
