Not rocket science, block it with "deny" ...


It's still Wordpress, still slow, still insecure so why should we care?



If you're not willing to learn or be adaptive to your customer' needs then you have no place creating websites as a profession


Its not me doing a HTML5 but does the website require is more of a question.


Using HTML5 or not makes no real difference for simple pages, so why wouldn't you do it? As far as I know it doesn't really have downsides.

If they mean something more than just HTML5, figure out what exactly they mean and decide about that.


or just remove wordpress and use something secure, not bloated and easier to develop with.


Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by "bloated," and could you give an example of something "easier to develop with?", explaining why it is "easier" to use?


They usually mean some blog engine that was just released a few weeks ago that doesn't do anything.


My definition of bloated: any web platform which includes its own cron system.


A lot of people who run Wordpress have clients who need a nice, easy user interface to be able to update their site. Do you have any suggestions for software that fulfills that need and is "secure, not bloated and easier to develop with".

This is clearly opinion, and should be taken as such, but I absolutely loathe Wordpress' admin interface. I'm sure at some point it was a nice, easy user interface but those days have passed. Anytime I have the misfortune of being thrown into a Wordpress backend I have no idea how to get anything done.


The WordPress admin interface hasn't changed all that much over the years. Unless the change to a darker admin theme tripped you up, I'm not sure where anyone that has any experience using anything on the internet would have much problem getting anything done with it.


When all you need to do is write a post, clicking on 'Posts' is a good start.


Not for everyone, but I rageported my wordpress site over to pelican one too many instances of it running slowly for no apparent reason. It's great if you're willing to author content in markdown or restructured text.


Mezzanine. And it is a joy to work with.


That.

After the second Drupal flaw in two weeks that enabled anybody to log on my server, I've decided to remove anything wrote in PHP from it. I'm not here to babysit software.

As a bonus, if you want anything too fancy in Mezzanine, you can just escape away to Django. Beats being thrown away in PHP by miles.


Avoid at all costs caching the cachable parts of the app will save you nothing in the REAL WORLD


Let's hope they made theirs faster than yours because your website is painfully slow.


usertesting.com

I found it quite insightful


Do they focus on improving conversion rates, and have any experience in the area of conversion rate optimization? Or is it reviews by random Mturk freelancers?

Too often, these services end up giving you 10 minutes of whining about petty font adjustments, that provably make no difference in conversion rates of the real users.


Step 1. Uninstall Wordpress. Step 2. Install something faster, less bloated and more secure. Step 3. Drink beer :)


Can't even click the links down the RHS in the demo. (FF 33.0.2)


Me too on FF 33.0.3 (MAC OS).


Nor on FF 33.0.3 Windows.
