WordPress Previous Solutions

Alex Osmichenko - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Executive Officer at IT Monks Agency

Drupal and Joomla were the solutions I used before moving to WordPress. I started using WordPress since it is one of the best solutions in the market that provides its users with a lot more flexibility and ease of use.

While I've experimented with many and found them to be effective, it's worth noting that we used to operate without any such tools in the past.

Web Designer | WordPress Developer at Edamame Agency

A long time ago, I used Joomla, which is also a CMS. Since I knew WordPress, I started to switch from Joomla to WordPress.

I combined WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin for e-commerce solutions since that plugin is very popular for e-commerce. I've used PrestaShop in the past. It was really good as an e-commerce solution. However, in terms of flexibility, PrestaShop is not that flexible because it's mostly built for e-commerce. Because of that, I focused more on WordPress because the level of scalability is higher for WordPress. You could start with a basic website or blog, add in membership, and start selling products. The business grows and changes, and you still can use the same platform, WordPress.

I recently had a client that switched from Wix to WordPress.

No, I did not use a different solution before WordPress. Before WordPress, I was building websites from scratch in HTML without a content management system.

I tried Joomla and Drupal, but found WordPress to be better. It was better for me in terms of ease to use, availability of themes, and plugins.
