Small and medium-sized enterprises website construction, the most common mistake is that 'WordPress is enough'.But in reality, many companies find that the maintenance cost of using WordPress to build a website is much higher than expected, and performance bottlenecks are difficult to solve, and in the end, they have no choice but to make a new choice.This article summarizes the 5 key indicators that must be considered when choosing a CMS, as well as the corresponding pitfalls to avoid.
Indicator 1: Real total cost
Many people only look at the price of the software itself and ignore the maintenance cost
Common pitfalls:
“MySQL database is too large, export and import failed” “Website was hacked, spent 5000 yuan on cleaning by a security company” “Server 502 again, spent 200 yuan on technical troubleshooting for half a day”
These are the costs that are easily ignored when selecting CMS, and when added together, they far exceed the price of the CMS software itself.
Formula for real cost:
总成本 = 软件费用 + 服务器费用 + 维护人力 + 安全防护 + 功能扩展
