How to run a business website in 2023:
Corporate mentality:
Forcing a single option on you!
- Don’t use that plugin/theme: not compatible with our infrastructure (technical escape-goat).
- Use that plugin/theme: we depend on it (closed-door business decisions).
- Upgrade your plan: to benefit from that must-have feature (profit margin boost).
- Upgrade: you consumed all your available “technical limitations” (forced upgrade).
How to solve online disasters in 2023:
Corporate mentality:
They’ll swallow a lie if you repeat it enough!
- We care about your security: yet they sold you outdated hardware/software.
- We care about your privacy: yet they have hundreds of 3rd party trackers.
- We care about your success: yet they provide support preferentially to higher tiers.
How to launch a new website or eshop in 2023:
Corporate mentality:
Let’s cross that bridge when we come to it!
- The budget burned, before even going LIVE.
- Feature-rich development = component clutter.
- Clutter = complexity, time and cost explosion.
- Finished within weeks or even months.
- Ignored: security, speed, compliance, SEO.
- Any extra start doubling estimated costs.
What happens after launching a website in 2023:
Corporate mentality:
Nothing is certain but the unforeseen.
- Feature compatibility never tested on LIVE.
- REAL customer interactions were never tested.
- No maintenance, upgrades, or updates.
- Security-wise fully flying in the dark.
- Speed-wise relies on the cloud infrastructure.
- Trusting 3rd-party best business behaviour.
What happens next year with a business website:
Corporate mentality:
Bite the bullet, it’s the cost of business.
- Customers are unable to order & browse.
- So left behind: update is a technical nightmare.
- Modules are closed & impossible to Upgrade.
- Cost to update similar/higher than a new site.
- So unusable/cluttered, it is hard to get rid of it.
