WordPress 5.8 and Why Chose WordPress Over Others.

I went live on Facebook recently to talk about the WordPress 5.8 update that was released recently. In this short 10 minute video, I talked about a question I get all the time.

Why should I use WordPress instead of Webflow, Squarespace, or Shopify?

In this short video, I talk about the benefits of Open Source Software and WordPress, but I also talk about the benefits of data portability, and the downsides of vendor lock-in that come in with places like Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Webflow, and many others.

The last point I make is to wait until update your WordPress website to 5.8, just a little while. Watch the video to find out why, it's the last few minutes.

In economics, vendor lock-in, also known as proprietary lock-in or customer lock-in, makes a customer dependent on a vendor for products and services, unable to use another vendor without substantial switching costs.
