WordPress powers a large share of SME websites for good reasons: it is familiar, flexible and easy for teams to use. But a successful SME WordPress site is more than a theme and twenty plugins.
Is WordPress right for you?
Great for editorial sites — services, references, blog, hiring. Less so when the site becomes a business application; custom development fits better then.
Custom theme or page builder?
Builders are fast but often heavy. A custom theme with editorial blocks gives a faster site and simpler editing.
As few plugins as possible
About ten well-chosen plugins are usually enough: SEO, forms, cache, security, backups.
