Why Big Brands Love WordPress
A presentation I gave at WordCamp Europe 2013 where I explain why big brands, enterprises & companies love WordPress, with tons of examples and quotes from companies using WordPress. A peek at some of the answers: - It’s easy to use. - It’s beautiful. - It Scales. - You own your data. - You can launch quickly. - It integrates & plays well with other services. - It goes mobile and Responsive. - You can iterate quickly with a small development team. - It can humanize data. - It’s a dynamic platform. - The WordPress Community. And some information about the WordPress secret weapon: You. A full list of links & sites in the presentation are available at: http://vip.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/why-big-brands-love-wordpress/ Want more information about WordPress for enterprises & big brands?
