What is WordPress?

WordPress—the leading CMS powering over 40% of the web—started as a blogging system. 

It later evolved into a CMS.

Initially, WordPress was only seen as a simple CMS for simple websites.

Over time, however, WordPress has significantly evolved. The WordPress CMS that we now know seamlessly scales to businesses of any size. 

From powering global enterprises and government platforms to the most-read publications in the world, WordPress now delivers seamless content management at any scale. 

Automattic, too, is driving enterprise adoption of WordPress through WordPress VIP, its robust hosting platform designed specifically for businesses needing enterprise-grade WordPress infrastructures.

Several leading hosting providers also offer fully managed, enterprise-scale infrastructures tailored for large-scale WordPress websites.

At rtCamp, we’re a WordPress VIP Gold Agency Partner specializing in delivering high-performance, enterprise-grade WordPress solutions. Often we help clients migrate from the many CMSs they use to WordPress VIP. And we’ve seen first hand how WordPress VIP is a comparable option to many businesses considering investing in CMSs like Sitecore or AEM for their content management.

In this handbook, we want to share insights into how Sitecore compares with WordPress and how each CMS measures up to different business needs. We’ll analyze their core features as a CMS, how they can fit into your existing martech stack as a CMS, and how they can adapt to your business’s evolving digital journey. The idea is to help you choose the best CMS that aligns with your digital strategy.
