How we choose a platform
The one that fits your content, your integrations and your team.
We recommend the platform that fits, and we tell you why. Seventeen years of Drupal is where we are deepest, but we build on WordPress, headless CMSs, Magento and Shopify too, and sometimes the right answer is to upgrade what you already have.
Platforms we build on
What decides it
We compare the options against the same questions, and the answers go in the decision log.
Your content
How structured it is, how much of it there is, and how it relates to itself.
Your editors
How many people publish, how technical they are, and what approvals they need.
Your integrations
Which systems the site has to talk to, and which one owns each record.
Your channels
Whether content goes to one website or to apps, feeds and partners too.
Cost to run
Licences, hosting and maintenance over five years, not only the build.
Who supports it
Whether your team, us or WebsiteSupport.io will look after it, and what they know.
How we get to a recommendation
What each department needs from the platform.
Content, integrations and current platform reviewed.
Two or three options compared against the same criteria.
Build and five-year running costs for each option.
One recommendation, with the reasoning written down.
Questions we get asked
If yours isn't here, it's usually quicker to ask on the phone.
No. Drupal is where we are deepest, but we build on WordPress and headless platforms too, and we recommend whichever fits.
Yes. The Migration Blueprint includes a platform recommendation you can take to any supplier.
Then we will say so. Sometimes upgrading the platform you have is the cheapest and safest option.
