LOTS AND LOTS OF USERS•Largest user base•Largest amount of themes already available•Largest plug-in community

WELL DESIGNED UI AND YOUCAN RESTRICT IT REALLY EASILY•Only let them see what they need to•Limit the dash•Plugins can add additional limits•YAYYYY FOR ONE CLICK UPDATES!!!!!

GO AHEAD AND LEAVE•Holding customers hostage with a shitty in-house CMS is kind of douchey•Using a the most popular CMS means anyone can easily redesign their site- you’re looking after the user.

STEP 02. DECIDE YOUR NEEDS•Can Wordpress do what I need out of the box?•What plugins will I need?•What’s static/not? (posts/pages)•Permalink structure•Do we need different sections?•Jargon (tags could be “topics”)•Do I need to display the author? The date?•Do I need to tweak how Wordpress generates the menu?

STEP 03. THE CODEX IS GREAT
•So’s Google. Search for stuff written by much smarter people than me•Hell, you’re a lot smarter than me- you probably know the answer•Become friends with people who know how to hack plugins
