Integrate Blesta or Not?

[INUMIO-Rob]

Hi everyone. I'm hoping for some opinions on this matter; whether to integrate blesta with our wordpress based site: https://www.inumio.com/ or to just apply extra labor everytime we change a package (because I must change manually on wordpress, at the moment).

I'm happy with the current rendering of the client portal, and don't really feel the need to "integrate" that anymore than it already is. However, the benefit of integrating the site with blesta new custom order form, cuts our workload down considerably when we make specification changes to the products.

Who does this kind of contract work here in the community? Do you? Check out my site and tell me something.

Not a fan of Wordpress. InterWorx used to use .php files for the header and footer and grab that from wordpress but I'm not sure how they grabbed it in the php files. If you wish for an integration @ExpertIntegrations are good, I've had a positive review from a client and recommend them from now on.

I'm not a wordpress fan, either. At some point, I'll abandon wordpress, and revert to a pure implementation without CMS backends. I'll see what @ExpertIntegrations has to say about creating an integrated order form. Cheers.

Why not use blestacms or the core cms instead of wordpress ?

You will get all centralized and 1 admin for site and billing

blestacms is best solution, and you can get free template.

really you wasn't aware of michael dance's aka @Licensecart 's blestacms product? because I have been using it for my whole website.

it is better then wordpress and about the same easiness that you get with wordpress as well.

BlestaCMS is really good. If you still want to use wordpress or plain html tho, you should intergrate blesta. It looks a lot more professional. Its so easy!

Great feedback, thanks everyone.

I abandoned all CMS, and just went with plain old html5, with my IDE to perform my page content edits. Performance is better, and much less overhead.

We used Hugo, a static site generator for www.blesta.com and I'm really happy with it. Static HTML, however you build it, is going to be fast and secure.

+1 for Hugo

@INUMIO-Rob Our site is also just good old fashioned HTML, we also got our Blesta install properly integrated and feel it really finished off the site. I would always recommend having it professionally integrated.

I m also agree with Paul try hugo. We already start move from WordPress to hugo and its more secure and faster then WordPress.
