Leads make poor decisions
The problems with CMSs are spread far and wide. WordPress accounts for 31% of all CMS websites.
And even more shocking is that WordPress accounts for 27.6% of all websites. One of the issues with all of that traditional CMS action is that CMOs and IT leads start to feel like they understand the website better than their front-end developers.
What happens next isn’t pretty.
Instead of allowing the front-end developers to make decisions about the language, framework, and systems to use, they make decisions on their own. But by choosing web applications, plugins, and themes based off of well-written sales copy for the particular product instead of real-time data, those decisions are nothing better than a shot in the dark.
The better thing would be for CMOs and IT leads to consult their front-end developers.
The problem with CMSs is that they make everyone feel like they’re an expert. But often, the person calling the shots doesn’t fully understand how their decisions are affecting the website’s speed and functionality on the back-end.
That’s a loss for your business and a loss for your team.
