Why Strapi is a good alternative to WordPress for web agencies and individual developers.
In this video, Paul and Bart discuss why Strapi might be the best alternative to WordPress for agencies, especially in the context of headless CMS solutions.
They begin by introducing Strapi as a powerful headless Content Management System (CMS) that allows for greater flexibility and control over content management compared to WordPress, which is often seen as cumbersome due to its reliance on plugins and varied development approaches.
Key points covered include:
– WordPress Landscape: Bart explains the current state of WordPress, highlighting its large user base and community support but also noting the complexity introduced by numerous plugins and varied development styles. This can lead to confusion and challenges when managing projects.
– Custom Development vs. Page Builders: The conversation contrasts custom WordPress development, often using tools like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for tailored solutions, with simpler page builders like Elementor, which can lead to mixed presentation and data layers.
– Benefits of Headless CMS: The duo emphasizes the advantages of using Strapi’s headless architecture, which allows developers to decouple data management from presentation layers. This separation makes it easier to manage content across multiple platforms (web, mobile, etc.) and simplifies the update and migration processes.
– Migration Process: Paul shares insights on migrating from WordPress to Strapi, discussing challenges such as dealing with mixed HTML and data formats in WordPress. He demonstrates a script to extract and convert WordPress content to a format usable in Strapi, highlighting the need for careful consideration of data structure.
– Automation and Tools: Rodrigo joins the discussion to introduce automation tools like n8n, which can streamline the migration process by crawling websites and managing data more efficiently. This emphasizes the potential for automation in handling complex migrations.
– Final Thoughts: Both Bart and Rodrigo emphasize the importance of choosing the right tool for each project based on specific needs and the trade-offs involved. They advocate for Strapi as a flexible and powerful option, especially for agencies looking to deliver custom solutions quickly and efficiently.
