Web Hosting vs. WordPress Hosting

Setting up a new website can be a daunting task, especially if you are doing it for the first time. However, WordPress hosting can make it easier.

In this article, we'll have a look into why there are so many different web hosting services, what WordPress hosting is, how it's different from traditional web hosting, and which one to choose.

Before getting started, take note that WordPress hosting can mean many different things. The web hosting industry has evolved so fast in recent years that every hosting company has developed its own kind of WordPress hosting, involving different services and architectures. As it's easy to get lost in this landscape, first, we'll discuss some general concepts so that you can better understand what WordPress hosting can offer in practical terms.

WordPress Hosting With SiteGround

Our recommended WordPress hosting provider is SiteGround. It's reliable and easy-to-use, and is recommended as one of the best WordPress hosts by WordPress.org.

What is Web Hosting?

If you want to publish a website on the internet, you'll need a server space where you can store all the files, content, images, scripts, libraries, and other elements that together make up your website. Your server space is provided by one or more server computers that are up and running all the time and serving your web pages to internet users.

Web hosting is a professional service where you rent server space for your website. Your web server doesn't simply store your website-related folders and files but also displays your website on the internet.

How Does the Web Server Display Your Website?

Say, your domain is www.example.com. Your visitor either knows this web address and enters it manually into the URL bar of their web browser, or cli.cks a link somewhere on the internet that points to your website

Once your link is clicked or your URL is entered, the visitor's browser sends a request to your web server to display the page that belongs to that exact URL.

This page is not necessarily your home page. For instance, if a visitor finds one of your blog posts in Google and clicks the corresponding link, their browser will request all the resources that make up that blog post from your server—eg. images, content, fonts, and icons. In the response, your server will send back all these files so that the user's browser can load them and display the page on the screen.

In practice, this process is more complicated and involves a chain of servers, depending on the type of website you have, such as:

a DNS (Domain Name Server) that translates your domain name (e.g. www.example.com) into a numeric IP address,

a web server that is responsible for request-response cycles with the user's browser, plus serves static pages,

an application server that processes back-end code, serves dynamic content, and communicates with the web server,

a database server that hosts your database and communicates with the application server.

Moreover, you can have more than one servers of each type. For instance, your web host might use more than one domain name servers to speed up the translation of your domain name. It can also happen that you don't need an application or database server, for example if you have a static website.

Even though this process might seem a bit complicated, in reality you don't need to know much about web hosting technology. You only have to know what kind of website you want, and your web host will handle everything else for you.

Why Are There So Many Different Web Hosting Services?

Most hosting providers offer different services based on server architecture, supported software and programming languages, and other features. You'll need to pick a hosting plan that suits the type of website you want to run.

The most important differences between web hosting services are in:

server architecture

supported software

pricing plans and models

Server Architecture

When we speak about "web hosting", it typically means shared hosting, which means that more than one client shares the same server. This setup is ideal for most small-scale websites due to its easy maintenance (the web host manages the server configuration) and low cost.

If your website grows and has more traffic, you can scale up to a server architecture that is more suitable for higher-traffic websites, such as cloud hosting or VPS (virtual private server) hosting.

Supported Software

Besides choosing a server architecture, you also need to check if your web host supports the software you'll need. You might want to use a Linux or Windows server, a specific programming language such as PHP or Java, and possibly a specific application such as WordPress or Drupal. You'll need a web host that offers all the software and tools that are necessary to run your website.

Pricing Plans and Models

Most web hosting services (web hosting, WordPress hosting, and cloud hosting) come with different pricing plans. Essentially, if you need less server space you pay less, and if you need more space then you pay more. In some cases, more expensive plans also offer additional services such as priority support or more frequent backups.

Different server architectures also come at different price levels and might use different pricing structures. For example, shared hosting plans are typically cheaper and charge a monthly fee (usually paid annually or bi-annually), while cloud hosting plans use a pay-as-you-go model.

What is WordPress Hosting?

So, where does WordPress hosting stand in this landscape?

WordPress hosting is a specific type of web hosting—it's optimized for the WordPress content management system (CMS). If you want to run a WordPress website and sign up for a WordPress hosting plan, you will be equipped with everything you need.

So, you won't have to worry about not having access to essential tools, features, and software, as your web host will take care of everything architecture- and security-wise, including:

the server architecture: WordPress hosting plans use either shared or cloud hosting

the underlying operating system: pre-configured and optimized Linux OS

the web server software: Apache or Nginx (pronounced "engine-x")

the PHP application server

the database server: MySQL or MariaDB

the WordPress software

pre-configured and optimized plugins and tools for essential features such as search engine optimization, security, caching, and others

WordPress hosting doesn't only mean installing and configuring the hardware and software but also constantly maintaining, updating, monitoring, and troubleshooting them.

Besides, WordPress hosting plans can have additional features, such as:

24/7 customer support

automated (and sometimes manual) backups

free SSL certificates (so that your site will use the secure HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP)

free email addresses and mail server (so that you can use professional email addresses belonging to your own domain, e.g. [email protected])

one-click WordPress installation

premium WordPress themes

developer features such as a staging area that you can use to securely test new plugins, themes, or features before adding them to your live site

Note, however, that there are significant differences between the WordPress hosting services offered by different hosting companies—not just in features but also in the scope of support and site management. So always scrutinize what they exactly offer and on what basis they charge you.

Web Hosting vs. WordPress Hosting: Which One to Choose?

If you compare the web hosting vs WordPress hosting plans of the same web host, you will see that there are many overlaps between the two. They frequently offer similar features, such as automated backups, free SSL, and unlimited databases, and even the prices are often the same.

The main difference is that WordPress hosting plans come with WordPress-specific features, extra tools such as a one-click staging area for WordPress or essential plugins pre-installed on your site, plus with a support team with an advanced knowledge of WordPress.

Now, let's see some scenarios when the web hosting vs. WordPress hosting question might arise.

1. You Have Only WordPress Sites (One or Many)

If you only want to host WordPress sites, then signing up for a WordPress hosting plan is the better choice, as it comes with many WordPress-specific features.

That being said, you can also host WordPress sites on a regular web hosting plan that allows you to run PHP applications.

These plans also let you run WordPress sites, however, you might lose access to some pre-configured features (staging area, extra plugins, auto-updates) and your web server and operating system won't be optimized specifically for WordPress.

2. You Have Both WordPress and Non-WordPress Sites

If you want to host both WordPress and non-WordPress sites on the same plan, it can still be a good idea to choose the WordPress plan—however, it depends on many things.

A PHP-MySQL site can be hosted on a WordPress plan, as it uses the same application and database structure. A static HTML site can be hosted there as well, as it only requires storage place but doesn't need application and database servers.

But, if the non-WordPress site is written in a different back-end language, you might need to find another hosting solution for it, for instance, a Java app requires a different kind of server setup. You might also find that your web host doesn't support all the programming languages and technologies you'll need, in which case you'll have to sign up with two different hosting providers (e.g. one for PHP/WordPress and one for Java).

Also note that there are managed WordPress hosting companies that only let you host WordPress sites and nothing else.

3. You Have Only Non-WordPress Sites (One or Many)

If you don't want to host any WordPress sites, then a generic web hosting plan is better suited to you. However, web hosts are very flexible these days, so if you'll want to switch to WordPress hosting in the future, they'll manage the change for you.

Wrapping Up

As WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world, many web hosting companies offer specific WordPress hosting services that are ideal for website owners who have one or more WordPress sites.

WordPress hosting is a type of web hosting that's optimized for the WordPress platform in terms of server configuration, features, software, and support.

Besides the differences between web hosting vs WordPress hosting, the WordPress hosting services offered by different hosting companies might also vary in software architecture (Apache vs. Nginx server, different Linux OSs), hardware architecture (shared vs cloud hosting), the scope of support (full vs partial site management), pricing models, and other features.

Discounted WordPress Hosting

If you're looking for a reliable and easy-to-use WordPress hosting provider, take a look at SiteGround. It comes with an easy installer, free support, and automatic updates. And it's recommended by WordPress.org. We're happy to be able to offer a huge discount of 70% off self-managed WordPress hosting, thanks to our partnership with SiteGround.

Flipkart Big Shopping Days, Mi Note 10 India Launch Teaser, WhatsApp Updates, and More Tech News This Week

Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales may have been the talk of the town in the US, but Flipkart didn’t want Indian consumers to miss out on some shopping fun. Hence, the e-retailer kicked off the latest iteration of its Big Shopping Days sale in India, just a day before Cyber Monday 2019 goes live on the other side of the world. Among other major developments this week, Xiaomi India started teasing the India launch of Mi Note 10 and WhatsApp released a new version of its iPhone app. Read on for more on these and other big happenings from the world of tech this week.

Flipkart is back with yet another edition of its Big Shopping Days sale. Probably the last Big Shopping Days sale of 2019, the latest round of Flipkart sale went live Saturday evening for Flipkart Plus members and Sunday for rest of the shoppers. According to the Walmart-owned e-retailer, the sale will continue through December 5. Flipkart is offering discounts, deals, and offers on pretty much all the categories, including mobile phones, tablets, mobile accessories, PCs, TVs, and more.

Realme 5s Review

Mi Note 10 India launch teased

Mi Note 10, which is the global version of Mi CC9 Pro, is coming to India soon, teased the company’s India chief Manu Kumar Jain this week. While Manu Jain didn’t say exactly when we can expect to see the phone in the country, it is likely to arrive next month as the last major smartphone launch from the company. Mi Note 10 was introduced in Spain last month, whereas the Mi CC9 Pro debuted in China one day before the Mi Note 10.

Although Mi Note 10’s European pricing suggests a pretty expensive smartphone, it is most likely going to retail around the Mi CC9 Pro China pricing. The Mi CC9 Pro has been priced at CNY 2,799 (roughly Rs. 28,000) for the base 6GB + 128GB variant in Xiaomi’s home market, whereas the higher end 8GB + 128GB variant will set buyers back by CNY 3,099 (roughly Rs. 31,000). The premium edition of the phone, which is known as Mi Note 10 Pro outside China and packs 8GB of RAM and 256GB of inbuilt storage, carries a price tag of CNY 3,499 (roughly Rs. 35,000). It is unclear if the premium edition will also make its way to India.

To recall, Mi Note 10 features a 6.47-inch curved full-HD+ (1080×2340 pixels) OLED display and is powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC. There is up to 8GB of RAM onboard as well as 128GB of onboard storage. Other specifications of the phone include a penta cameta setup that houses a 108-megapixel main camera with f/1.69 aperture, a 20-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, a 5-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

Mi Note 10 also packs an in-display fingerprint sensor, 5,260mAh battery that supports 30W fast charging, and various connectivity options. Mi Note 10 Pro has almost the same specifications as Mi Note 10, however, it sports an 8P lens, while the Mi Note 10 sports a 7P lens in the main camera. Also, you get more onboard storage – 256GB.

Vivo U20 Review

WhatsApp for iPhone update, WhatsApp beta for Android

Facebook-owned WhatsApp released an update for its iPhone app this week that brought a couple of interesting new things. One of the changes is call waiting support. Yes, WhatsApp for iPhone will now inform you if someone else are trying to call you while you are on another call. This should help avoid missed calls. The other change is the tweaked chat screen that is designed to help you quickly scan chat massages. The new update carries the version number 2.19.120 and it also brings updated group privacy settings to anyone who was still missing them.

WhatsApp also released a new beta version for Android this week and while it didn’t have any user-facing changes, its code did reveal one under-development feature. WhatsApp seems to have restarted working on the Disappearing Messages feature. It is now called Delete Messages. It will work in both regular chats and groups, however in the case of latter, only group administrators will able to switch on the feature.

WhatsApp Disappearing Messages feature will allow users to delete any new messages after a certain period of time. This time can be chosen from 1-hour, 1-day, 1-week, 1-month, and 1-year. Once this option is selected any new messages sent in the regular chat or group will be deleted when their time is over. The Delete messages option will be available in Contact Info or Group Settings. The latest WhatsApp beta for Android was also seen carrying a dark mode version of Delete messages feature, suggesting the dark mode is well in development.

Vivo V17 launch, India release date, and Vivo Z5i makes its debut

Chinese smartphone maker Vivo earlier this week launched the new V17 in the Russian market. It is re-branded version of the Vivo S1 Pro that made its debut in Philippines last month. Vivo V17 is expected to be introduced in India on December 9 if an invite shared by the company recently is any indication. Vivo V17 India pricing remains a secret for now, however the price of V17 in Russia and Vivo S1 Pro’s Philippines price can give us some idea. The company retails V17 in Russia at RUB 22,990 (roughly Rs. 25,900), while the S1 Pro with same specifications carries a price tag of PHP 15,999 (roughly Rs. 22,500). So, we are expecting V17 to retail somewhere around Rs. 22-23,000 in India.

On the specifications front, Vivo V17 features a 6.38-inch full-HD+ (1080×2340 pixels) Super AMOLED display, in-display fingerprint scanner, octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC, and 8GB of RAM. The phone also packs a diamond-shaped quad rear camera setup that houses a 48-megapixel primary shooter, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, the Vivo V17 smartphone houses a 32-megapixel selfie camera sensor. You will also get 4,500mAh battery and 128GB of onboard storage.

Vivo V17 wasn’t the only new smartphone from Vivo this week, the company also unveiled Vivo Z5i. The Vivo Z5i shares pretty much all of its specifications with Vivo U3 and Vivo U20, both of which are essentially the same phone with different names. The company’s strategy of launching the same devices with different names in different countries is just baffling. Vivo Z5i is now on sale in China and carries a price tag of CNY 1,798 (roughly Rs. 18,300) for the sole 8GB RAM + 128GB storage configuration.

Redmi Note 8 Cosmic Purple colour, Redmi Note 8 Pro Electric Blue colour launched in India

Apart from teasing the India launch of Mi Note 10, Xiaomi also introduced one new colour variant each for Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8 Pro in the country this week. Starting with Redmi Note 8 that received the new Cosmic Purple colour. The new colour variant was also put on sale for the first-time week alongside Moonlight White, Neptune Blue, and Space Black colours. Apart from the new paintjob, there is no difference between other colour variants of the phone and Cosmic Purple. To recall, Redmi Note 8 price starts at Rs. 9,999 for the 4GB + 64GB storage variant and goes up to Rs. 12,999 for the 6GB + 128GB model.

Redmi Note 8 Pro got the new Electric Blue colour option in the country. It joined the existing Gamma Green, Halo White, and Shadow Black colour options. As you can expect, there is no difference between the Electric Blue version and the existing colours options for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, apart from the fresh coat of paint. To recall, Redmi Note 8 Pro is priced at Rs. 14,999 for the base 6GB + 64GB variant in India, while the 6GB + 128GB model sets buyers back by Rs. 15,999. The top end 8GB + 128GB version can be purchased at Rs. 17,999.

Vivo U20 vs Redmi Note 8 Compared: Price, Performance, Cameras, and More

Honor V30, Honor V30 Pro launch, and other tech news

After weeks of teasers, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor unveiled the new Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro smartphones in China. The two phones will be known as Honor View 30 and Honor View 30 Pro internationally. Honor V30 and its Pro variant share a lot of specifications and design. The two phones feature a 6.57-inch full-HD+ display, Kirin 990 SoC, up to 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. Both the phones also pack a triple rear camera setup and dual selfie camera housed in a hole-punch.

Additionally, the Honor V30 packs a 4,200mAh battery, whereas the Honor V30 Pro comes equipped with a smaller 4,100mAh battery. Both phones support 40W fast charging, but the Honor V30 Pro also offers support for 27W wireless fast charging. Honor V30 and V30 Pro go on sale in China this month and will be released internationally in Q1 2020, however, the missing Google apps will certainly impact their sales outside China.

Jio Fiber has reportedly stopped onboarding new subscribers on the preview plan and is finally signing up customers on the paid plans. This development comes almost three months after the Internet Service Provider (ISP) had launched its services commercially. This also means that preview plan consumers can soon expect to see them migrated to the paid plans. To recall, Jio offers plans starting at Rs. 699 per month. Its top-end plan costs Rs. 8,499 and offers data speeds up to 1Gbps.

As the Jio Fiber subscribers start paying of their data, they will likely have to deal with FUP. To make sure, they have enough high-speed data, the ISP has quietly introduced a plan voucher at Rs. 199 (without taxes) that brings unlimited high-speed data for seven days. The subscribers who exhaust their high-speed data quota can opt for this voucher to regain the high-speed Internet. The plan voucher will be available via My Jio app and the company website.

Cyber Monday 2019: Which Wireless Earbuds Should You Buy?

Meanwhile, Tata Sky has said to have discontinued a number of its long duration channel packs. Right now, Tata Sky consumers can only opt for SD Kerala Super plan and Marathi SD Basic plan for six-month and 12-month durations, rest all of the channel packs will not be offered for long duration plans. The exact reasoning behind the move is unclear. Tata Sky has also withdrawn a promotional offer that provided free six-month subscription of the Tata Sky Binge service on getting a new HD set-top box at Rs. 4,999.

In other DTH news, Sun Direct has reduced the price of its set-top box models and their pricing now starts at Rs. 1,799. While the standard resolution Sun Direct SD+ set-top box is priced at Rs. 1,799, the customers can get the high-definition Sun Direct HD+ set-top-box at Rs. 1,999. Sun Direct set-top box models can be ordered from the company website or from offline retailers.

Xiaomi expanded its smart TV lineup in India this week with the launch of Mi TV 4X 55-inch 2020 Edition. It carries a price tag of Rs. 34,999 and will go on sale through Amazon, Mi.com, and Mi Home stores starting at 12pm (noon) on December 2. The Mi TV 4X 55-inch 2020 Edition runs Android 9 Pie with PatchWall 2.0 UI on top. It packs a 55-inch 4K HDR 10-bit display, a quad-core Amlogic Cortex-A53 CPU, 2GB of DDR RAM, and 8GB eMMC storage. Xiaomi has also provided two 10W built-in speakers with support for Dolby Audio.

In smart speaker news, Google has brought its Nest Mini to the Indian market. Launched earlier this week, this Google Assistant-powered smart speaker has been priced at Rs. 4,499 and is now on sale via Flipkart. Google Nest Mini smart speaker is a successor to the two-year-old Google Home Mini and promises better sound quality along with the familiar Google Assistant-powered experience.

Google Nest Mini in India: Everything You Need to Know

Lastly, Flipkart is all set to launch its Nokia-branded smart TV models next week in the country. The e-retailer is hosting a press event on December 5 where the new smart TV models will be showcased. Nothing is known about the upcoming TVs at this point, apart from the fact that they will use JBL sound technology. This will be second such launch of Flipkart, which had earlier said to have partnered with Motorola to launch Motorola-branded Android TVs in India.

Best Visual Studio 2019 Extensions for Web Development

Despite being an eager user of Visual Studio since 2001, I have never used many extensions - just those who I found really meaningful to improve my overall VS experience. In this article I put together the first ones I run to download every time I happen to reinstall a Visual Studio instance. Those tools either speed up my development time or provide a great addition to the VS basic features: i strongly suggest to try them, as long as they impact what you actually do with Visual Studio. For each one of them I added a link to the Visual Studio Marketplace page, the author name or nickname, a brief description of what it does / why it's great, and (if available) the source code link. Bundler & Minifier by Mads Kristensen. A Visual Studio extension that let's you configure bundling and minification of JS, CSS and HTML files. It bundles CSS, JavaScript or HTML files into a single output file, and it also handles the minifying tasks for these files as well. The source code is freely available on GitHub. File Icons by Mads Kristensen. Adds icons for files that are not recognized by Solution Explorer: although not being a game changer, this extension can be incredibly useful to quickly visualize the file types you're looking for, especially for those project when you're dealing with a lot of different file types. The source code is freely available on GitHub. GitHub Extension for Visual Studio, by GitHub. The easiest way to connect to your GitHub repositories in Visual Studio, with 2FA support (no need for personal API tokens) and a lot of useful features and shortcuts: simply a must for whoever works with GitHub. Needless to say, the source code is freely available on GitHub. Git Tools 2019 by yysun. A Visual Studio extension that integrates a few more git tools to Visual Studio 2019, including the Git Changes Window and menus to launch Git Bash, Git Extensions and TortoiseGit. The source code is freely available on GitHub. Markdown Editor by Mads Kristensen. A full featured Markdown editor with live preview and syntax highlighting: it also supports GitHub flavored Markdown. The rendering engine is based upon by Markdig, arguably the best markdown parser out there. The source code is freely available on GitHub. Open Command Line by Mads Kristensen. Opens a command line at the root of the project. Support for all consoles such as CMD, PowerShell, Bash etc. Provides syntax highlighting, Intellisense and execution of .cmd and .bat files. PHP Tools for Visual Studio 2019, by DEVSENSE. Simply the best PHP extension available for Visual Studio since its debut on VS2010, at least in my own opinion. PHP Tools for Visual Studio transparently integrate into Microsoft Visual Studio and extend it with the support for PHP language: the extension is focused on developer productivity respecting conventions. It understands the code, provides smart code completion, quick navigation, error checking, code validation, code formatting, integrated PHP manual, built-in web server, debugging support, test explorer integration, composer package manager, and more. Sadly, it's not free or open-source, but at least it comes with a 30-day trial before having to purchase it. This is the only commercial VS extension I ever bought in my entire life and I don't regret it, because it's way better than anything else available: the only real alternative, at least basing on what I've found as of today, would be ditching VS entirely for PHP development and switch to Visual Studio Code, which has plenty of free PHP extensions for syntax highlightning, symbols navigation and the likes. VSHG by Dobromir Popov. This is basically a rewrite of the good old VisualHG extension by Bernrd Schrader, originally available since VS2005 and updated up to VS2015 before disappearing. This fork makes it available for VS2017 and upwards, thus including VS2019. It goes without saying that you're going to need it only if you're using Mercurial/HG, otherwise just stick with XXXXXXXXX. The source code is freely available on GitHub. Web Compiler by Mads Kristensen. I mostly use it to compile my LESS and/or SASS files, but this neat extension also handles JSX, ES6 and (Iced)CoffeeScript files. Its distinctive set of features include: Error List integration, MSBuild support for CI scenarios, customizable minification options, shortcuts support, Task Runner Explorer integration, command-line interface, and more! The source code is freely available on GitHub. That's it, at least for now: do you have further extensions you would like to recommend? Feel free to write yours in the Comments section!

A Detailed Comparison Between WordPress And October CMS

Leonardo Losoviz

2019-03-18T12:00:28+01:002019-03-18T11:37:39+00:00

Three months ago, WordPress finally released React-powered Gutenberg to power its default content editing experience, triggering many people who are not happy with this change to look for alternatives. Some folks decided to fork and release pre-Gutenberg WordPress, however, for me this doesn’t make much sense since it still carries 15 years worth of technical debt. If I were to find an alternative to WordPress, I would try to avoid being stuck in the past, and aim for a clean cut through some mature platform built on modern foundations.

This article compares WordPress to the arguably similar yet more modern October CMS on a wide arrange of both technical and non-technical topics. The goal of the article is not to convince people to stick to WordPress or to switch to October CMS, but simply to demonstrate what aspects must be taken into account before concluding the move to a different platform. The same comparison could (and should) also be done with other platforms before making a sensible decision.

Why October CMS

I found out about October CMS when it won an award, after which I went into research mode and spent a good deal of time digging deep into this CMS — from the perspective of both a user and a developer. As I gained knowledge on this CMS, I felt confident that I could provide an objective evaluation of its features as contrasted to WordPress. I chose this CMS for the comparison over alternative options such as Grav, Statamic, ButterCMS, Joomla, Drupal, Jekyll, Hugo, and others, for the following reasons:

I know how this CMS works (unlike Grav);

It is free and open source (unlike Statamic and ButterCMS);

At five years, it is “relatively” new (unlike Joomla and Drupal);

It is a dynamic (not static) content generator and based in PHP (unlike Jekyll and Hugo).

I believe that October CMS is a good candidate because it is based on Laravel which is a framework used for building modern applications. After seven years of existence, it has received positive approval from developers (as evidenced by its sizeable community and ecosystem), and marks a distinct contrast over coding in WordPress, i.e. WordPress is mostly procedural programming while Laravel is decidedly object-oriented programming.

What’s The Difference Between The Two?

Below I will compare WordPress and October CMS on different categories and highlight what, I believe, is good and not so good about them. However, I will not pick a winner, since that’s not the objective of the article and, in any case, there is no “best” or even “better” CMS: each CMS has its own set of strengths and weaknesses that will make it more or less suitable for each task, project, company, team, and anything else. Moreover, a project may benefit from using more than one CMS, such as using some CMS to manage and provide data, and another CMS to render the view. To decide which of the dozens of CMSs out there is most suitable for your own needs is entirely up to you.

In addition, this article could never draw definitive conclusions since it is only concerned with a subset of all possibilities. For instance, we can also find online comparisons such as “WordPress vs Drupal vs Joomla”, “WordPress vs Static Site Generators” and even “WordPress vs Medium”. Because none of these articles sees the full picture, then none of these comparisons can ever be conclusive, and should not be treated as such.

Let’s start with the comparison.

Philosophy And Target Group

It is no coincidence that WordPress powers nearly 1 in 3 websites. Ever since its inception, it has strived to be extremely user-friendly and has done so successfully, removing friction for technical and non-technical users alike as well as for people from all backgrounds — irrespective of their education and economic levels. WordPress’ founder Matt Mullenweg expressed that WordPress’ motto of “Democratize Publishing” for the current era meant the following:

“People of all backgrounds, interests, and abilities should be able to access Free-as-in-speech software that empowers them to express themselves on the open web and to own their content.”

WordPress is easy to use for everyone and its inclusivity is evidenced on the development side too: It’s not uncommon to find people without a programming background (such as marketers, designers, bloggers, sales people, and others) tinkering with their WordPress installations, designing their own themes and successfully launching their own websites. WordPress is user-centric, and the needs of the users trump those of the developers. In WordPress, the user is king (or queen).

In contrast, October CMS is more geared towards the developer, as explicity established from its very first release:

“October makes one bold but obvious assumption: clients don’t build websites, developers do. The role of a client is to manage the website and convey their business requirements. The web developer, and the industry itself, revolves around mediating these factors.”

In the words of its founders, the CMS’ mission is to “prove that making websites is not rocket science.” Being based on Laravel, October CMS can claim to have strong foundations of reusable, modular code that can produce properly-architected applications, maintainable in the long term and fully customizable without requiring hacks — the type which attracts serious programmers. October CMS can also provide a great user experience, however, it is not as simple or frictionless as that provided by WordPress. Users may need to be explained how to use certain functionality before being able to use it. For instance, embedding a form from some plugin has a lengthy explanation on how to do it, which is more cumbersome than the self-evident, drag-and-drop functionality provided by several form plugins in WordPress.

Installation

WordPress is famous for its 5-minute installation, even though many people point out that (taking into consideration all the plugins that must be installed) a typical installation requires 15 minutes or more. In addition, WordPress also offers the Multisite feature, which allows us to create a network of multiple virtual sites under a single installation. This feature makes it easy for an agency to administer the sites of multiple clients — among other user cases.

Installing October CMS is also very smooth: The Wizard installation itself takes even less than five minutes, and if you install it through the Console installation, it is even faster. You can do the latter by simply navigating to the target directory and then executing curl -s https://octobercms.com/api/installer | php (after which we need to input the database configuration, otherwise it behaves as a flat-file CMS). Once the installation has been completed, we will have a fully functioning website, but still quite bare (if you add the time needed to install and configure the required plugins, you can expect it to take at least 15 minutes).

Security

WordPress has been accused of being insecure due to the high amount of vulnerabilities that are constantly found. This forces users to have the software for the CMS and all installed plugins always up to date to avoid security exploits. Among the main issues is WordPress’ support for older versions of PHP which are not supported by the PHP development community anymore (WordPress currently supports PHP 5.2.4, while the latest fully supported PHP version is 5.6). However, this problem should be resolved in April 2019 when WordPress will officially start supporting PHP versions 5.6 and upwards.

Otherwise, WordPress is not necessarily insecure because of itself, but because of its high popularity, which makes it a primal target for hackers. However, this plays both ways: WordPress ubiquity means that its security team must really take their job seriously by constantly looking for exploits and fixing them as soon as possible, otherwise up to a third of the web is at risk. The stakes are just too high.

October CMS, on the other hand, doesn’t have a reputation of being insecure. However, since there are roughly 27,000 live sites that use October as compared with WordPress’ millions, we can’t judge the two of them on the same terms. Nevertheless, the team behind October CMS does take security seriously, as evidenced by the Wizard installation’s prompt to input the CMS backend URL, set as /backend by default but changeable to anything else, as to make it more difficult for hackers to target the site. In contrast, changing WordPress’ login and backend URLs from /wp-login.php and /wp-admin respectively to something else must be done through a plugin. In addition, October CMS can function as a flat-file CMS (i.e. without a database) and avoid database-related vulnerabilities such as SQL injection.

Technology Stack

Both WordPress and October CMS run on the traditional LAMP stack: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. (However, only PHP is fixed: we can also use Windows, Nginx, MariaDB, and others.) October CMS can also behave as a flat-file CMS, meaning that it can do without a database, however, at the cost of forgoing many functionalities (such as blog posts and users) the only functionality that is guaranteed is pages, which is considered to be the basic unit for the creation and publishing of content and shipped as a core feature.

Concerning the language stack, sites built with both WordPress and October CMS are based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (note that PHP is used to generate the HTML). October CMS also makes it easy to use LESS and SASS files.

Programming Paradigm

WordPress follows a functional programming paradigm, based on calculating computations by calling functions devoid of application state. Even though WordPress developers do not need to stick to functional programming (for instance, for coding their themes and plugins), the WordPress core code inherits this paradigm from 15 years of preserving backwards compatibility, which has been one of the pillars to WordPress’ success but which has the unintended consequence of accumulating technical debt.

On the other side, October CMS follows an imperative programming paradigm, based on calculating computations by manipulating objects’ state. October CMS sits on top of Laravel, a web framework fully founded on Object-Oriented Programming principles that enable the production of modular applications based on concepts such as the Model-View-Controller to decouple the user interface from the application data, Dependency Injection to configure class dependencies, and the Interface Segregation Principle to define the core services provided by the framework, among many others.

Hooks/Events

Programming in WordPress could be characterized as HDD which stands for “Hook-Driven Development”. A hook is a mechanism that allows changing a default behavior or value and allowing other code to execute related functionality. Hooks are triggered through “actions” which allow executing extra functionality, and “filters” that allow modifying values.

Hooks, which are widespread across the WordPress codebase, are one of the concepts that I most like from coding in WordPress. They allow plugins to interact with other plugins (or with a core or theme) in a clean way, providing some basic support of Aspect-Oriented Programming.

Good news is that Laravel (and in consequence October CMS) also supports the concept of hooks, which is called “events”. Events provide a simple observer implementation, enabling code to subscribe and listen for events that occur in the application and react as needed. Events make it possible to split a complex functionality into components, which can be installed independently yet collaborate with each other, thus enabling the creation of modular applications.

Dependence on JavaScript Libraries

The latest version of WordPress incorporates React-powered Gutenberg for its default content creation experience. Hence, WordPress development now relies by and large on JavaScript (predominantly through React), even though it is also possible to use other frameworks or libraries (as evidenced by Elementor Blocks for Gutenberg which is based on Marionette). In addition, WordPress still relies on Backbone.js (for the Media Manager) and jQuery (legacy code), however, we can expect the dependence on these libraries to wither away as Gutenberg is consolidated as the new norm.

October CMS depends on jQuery, which it uses to implement its optional AJAX framework to load data from the server without a browser page refresh.

Pages, Themes and Plugins

Both WordPress and October CMS treat a page as the basic unit for creating and publishing content (in WordPress case, in addition to the post), support changing the site’s look and feel through themes, and allow to install and extend the site’s functionalities through plugins. Even though the concepts are the same in both CMSs, there are a few differences in implementation that produce somewhat different behavior.

In WordPress, pages are defined as content and stored in the database. As a result, page content can be created through the CMS only (e.g. in the dashboard area), and switching from one theme to another doesn’t make an existing page become unavailable. This produces an overall frictionless experience.

In October CMS, on the other hand, pages are static files stored under the theme directory. On the positive side from this architectural decision, page content can be created from an external application, such as text editors like Sublime or Visual Studio Code. On the negative side, when switching from one theme to another, it is required to manually recreate or copy the pages from the current to the new theme, or otherwise, they will disappear.

Significantly, October CMS resolves routing through pages, hence pages are used not just as containers for content but also for functionality. For instance, a plugin for blogging depends on a page for displaying the list of blog posts under a chosen URL, another page to display a single blog post under another chosen URL, and so on. If any of these pages disappear, the associated functionality from the plugin becomes unavailable, and that URL will produce a 404. Hence, in October CMS themes and plugins are not thoroughly decoupled, and switching themes must be done carefully.

Core vs Plugin Functionality

WordPress attempts to deliver a minimal core functionality which is enhanced through plugins. WordPress relies on the “80⁄20 rule” to decide if to include some functionality in its core experience or not. If it benefits 80% of the users it goes in, otherwise, it belongs to plugin-land. When adding plugins to a site, they can lead to bloat if too many plugins are installed. Plugins may also not work well with one another, or execute similar code or load similar assets, resulting in suboptimal performance. Hence, whereas launching a WordPress site is relatively easy, a bigger challenge is its general maintenance and being able to preserve an optimal and performant state when adding new features.

The WordPress plugin directory claims to have almost 55,000 plugins. (Large preview)

Likewise, October CMS also attempts to deliver a minimal core functionality, but on steroids: the only guaranteed functionality is the creation and publication of pages, and for everything else we will need to install one plugin or another, which is expressed as:

“Everything you need, and nothing you don't.”

The objective is clear: most simple sites are only composed of pages, with possibly no blog posts, users or login area. So why should the application load resources for these when they are not needed? As a consequence, functionalities for blogging, user management, translation and several others are released through the plugin directory.

Searching for 'Rainlab' in October’s plugins directory displays plugins created by October CMS' team. (Large preview)

October CMS also includes certain features in its core which (even though they are not always needed) can enhance the application significantly. For instance, it provides out-of-the-box support to upload media files to Amazon S3 and accesses them through the Rackspace CDN. It also includes a Media Manager which is mostly used through plugins, e.g. for adding images into a blog post. (Pages can also use the Media Manager to embed media files, however, the CMS also ships with an Assets section to upload media files for these which seems more suitable.)

I believe that October’s opinionatedness can perfectly enable us to produce an application that is as lean as possible — mostly concerning simple sites. However, it can also backfire and encourage bloat, because the line of what is needed and what is not is an arbitrary one, and it’s difficult to be set in advance by the CMS. This difficulty can be appreciated when considering the concept of a “user”: In WordPress, website users and website admins belong to the same user entity (and through roles and privileges we can make a user become an admin). In October CMS, these two are implemented separately, shipping in core the implementation for the website administrator which can log in to the backend area and modify the settings, and through a plugin the implementation of the website user. These two types of users have a different login process and a different database table for storing their data, thus arguably breaching the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle.

This problem arises not only concerning the behavior of an entity but also what data fields it must contain. For instance, should the website user data fields be predefined? Is a telephone field required? What about an Instagram URL field, considering that Instagram got kind of cool only recently? But then, when building a professional website shouldn’t we use a LinkedIn URL field instead? These decisions clearly depend on the application and can’t be decided by either CMS or plugin.

The October CMS plugin called User implements users but without any user field, on top of which plugin User Plus adds several arbitrary user fields, which are possibly not enough, so plugin User Plus+ adds yet other user fields. When, where and how do we stop this process?

Another problem is when there is no room to add new capabilities to an entity, which leads to the creation of another, extremely similar entity, just to support those required capabilities. For instance, October CMS ships with pages, and allows to create “static pages” through a plugin. Their nature is the same: both pages and static pages are saved as static files. The only difference between them (as far as I can tell) is that static pages are edited with a visual editor instead of the HTML editor, and can be added to menus. In my opinion, only structural differences, such as having one entity saved as a static file and the other one stored in the database, could justify creating a second entity for a page (there is a pull request to do this), but for simple features, as is the case currently, it constitutes development bloat.

In summary, a well implemented October CMS application can be very lean and efficient (e.g. by removing the database when not needed), but on the contrary it can also become unnecessarily bloated, forcing developers to implement several solutions for similar entities, and which can be very confusing to use (“Should I use a page or a static page?”). Because neither WordPress or October CMS has found a perfect solution for removing bloat, we must design either application architecture with care to avoid down-the-road pain.

Content Creation

Gutenberg makes two important contributions to WordPress: It uses components as the unit for building sites (which offers several advantages over coding blobs of HTML), and it introduces an entity called a “block” which, once Gutenberg Phase 2 is completed (presumably in 2019), will provide a unified way to incorporate content into the site, thus enabling a simpler user experience as opposed to the more chaotic process of adding content through shortcodes, TinyMCE buttons, menus, widgets, and others.

Since WordPress 5.0 Gutenberg is the default content creation experience. (Large preview)

Because Gutenberg blocks can produce and save static HTML as part of the blog post, then installing many Gutenberg blocks doesn’t necessarily translate into bloat on the website on the user side, but can be kept restricted to the admin side. Hence, Gutenberg can arguably be considered a good approach to produce websites in a modular way, with a simple yet powerful user experience for creating content. Possibly the biggest drawback is the (unavoidable, but not easily so) requirement to learn React, whose learning curve is rather steep.

If React components are the basic unit for creating content in WordPress, October CMS is based on the premise that knowing good old HTML is enough for building sites. Indeed, when creating a page, we are simply presented an HTML (Markup) editor:

Creating a page in October CMS. (Large preview)

If the page were solely static HTML, then there would be no need for a CMS. Instead, October CMS pages are written using Twig templates which are compiled to plain optimized PHP code. They can select a layout to include the scaffolding of the page (i.e. repetitive elements, such as the header, footer, and so on), can implement placeholders, which are defined on the layout to allow the page to customize content, and can include partials, which are reusable chunks of code. In addition, pages can include content blocks, which are either text, HTML or Markdown files that can be edited on their own and can attach components which are functionalities implemented through plugins. And finally, for whenever HTML is not enough and we need to produce dynamic code, we can add PHP functions.

The editor is all about HTML. There is no TinyMCE textarea for adding content in a visual manner — at least not through the default experience (this functionality belongs to plugin-land). Hence, having knowledge of HTML could be considered a must for using October CMS. In addition, the several different inputs for creating content (pages, layouts, placeholders, partials, content blocks, components, and PHP functions) may be very effective, however, it is certainly not as simple as through the unified block interface from WordPress. It can even get more complex since other elements can also be added (such as static pages and menus, and snippets), and some of them, such as pages and static pages, seemingly provide the same functionality, making it confusing to decide when to use one or the other.

As a result, I dare say that while pretty much anyone can use a WordPress site from the admin side, October CMS is more developer-friendly than non-technical user-friendly, so programmers may find it a joy to use, but certain other roles (marketers, sales people, and the like) may find it non-intuitive.

Media Manager

Both WordPress and October CMS are shipped with a Media Manager which allows adding media files to the site effortlessly, supporting the addition of multiple files simultaneously through a drag-and-drop interface and displaying the images within the content area. They look and behave similarly; the only notable differences I found are that WordPress’ Media Manager allows to embed image galleries, and October’s Media Manager allows to manually create a folder structure where to place the uploaded files.

October CMS ships with a powerful Media Manager. (Large preview)

Since the introduction of Gutenberg, though, WordPress’ media capabilities have been enhanced greatly, enabling to embed videos, pictures and photo galleries in place as compared to within a TinyMCE textarea (which only provides a non-accurate version of how it will look like in the site), and unlocking powerful, yet easy-to-use features as shown in this video.

Internationalization

WordPress core uses gettext to enable the translation of themes and plugins. Starting from a .pot file containing all strings to translate, we need to create a .po file containing their translation to the corresponding language/locale, and this file is then compiled to a binary .mo file suitable for fast translation extraction. Tools to perform these tasks include GlotPress (online) and Poedit (downloadable application). Conveniently, this mechanism also works for client-side localization for Gutenberg.

Poedit allows to translate strings for themes and plugins for WordPress. (Large preview)

WordPress currently doesn’t ship any solution in core to translate content, and will not do so until Phase 4 of Gutenberg (targeted for year 2020+). Until then, this functionality is provided by plugins which offer different strategies for storing and managing the translated content. For example, while plugins such as Polylang and WPML store each translation on its own row from a custom database table (which is clean since it doesn’t mix content together, but slower since it requires an additional INNER JOIN of two tables when querying the database), plugin qTranslate X stores all translations on the same field from the original database table (faster for querying the data, but content mixed all together can produce wreckage on the site if disabling the plugin). Hence, we can shop around and decide the most suitable strategy for our needs.

October CMS doesn’t ship the multilingual functionality through its core, but as a plugin created by the October CMS team that guarantees a faultless integration into the system. From a functional point of view, this plugin delivers what it promises. From a development point of view, it is not quite ideal how this plugin actually works. In WordPress, a page is simply a post with post type “page” and there is a single translation mechanism for them, but in October CMS, there are entities “page”, “static page” and “blog post” and, even though quite similar, they require three different implementations for their translations! Then, the content from a “page” can include message codes (e.g. codes called nav.content, header.title, and so on), each of which contains its translations for all locales as a serialized JSON object in database table rainlab_translate_messages. The content from a “static page” is created into a new static file per locale, however, all translated URLs for all locales are stored not in their corresponding file but instead on the default language’s file. The content for the “blog post” is stored as a serialized JSON object with one row per locale in database table rainlab_translate_attributes and the translated URL is stored with one row per locale in database table rainlab_translate_indexes. I don’t know if this complexity is due to how the plugin was implemented or whether it is due to October CMS’ architecture. Whichever the case, this is another instance of undesired bloat on the development side.

Plugin Management

Both WordPress and October CMS offer a sophisticated plugin manager which allows to search for plugins, install new plugins, and update currently-installed plugins to their latest version — all from within the backend.

October CMS enables to keep all plugins up-to-date effortlessly. (Large preview)

Dependency Management

October CMS uses Composer as the package manager of choice, enabling plugins to download and install their dependencies when being installed, thus delivering a painless experience.

WordPress, on the opposite side, hasn’t officially adopted Composer (or any PHP dependency manager) because the community can’t agree if WordPress is a site or a site dependency. Hence, if they require Composer for their projects, developers must add it on their own. With the switch to Gutenberg, npm has become the preferred JavaScript dependency manager, with a popular developer toolkit depending on it, and the client-side libraries being steadily released as autonomous packages in the npm registry.

Interaction With The Database

WordPress provides functions to retrieve database data (such as get_posts) and store it (such as wp_insert_post and wp_update_post). When retrieving data, we can pass parameters to filter, limit and order the results, in order to indicate if the result must be passed as an instance of a class or as an array of properties and others. When the function doesn’t fully satisfy our requirements (e.g. when we need to do an INNER JOIN with a custom table) then we can query the database directly through global variable $wpdb. When creating a plugin with a custom post type, the code will most likely be executing custom SQL queries to retrieve and/or save data into custom tables. In summary, WordPress attempts to provide access to the database through generic functions in the first stage, and through low-level access to the database in the second stage.

October CMS employs a different approach: Instead of connecting to the database straight away, the application can use Laravel’s Eloquent ORM to access and manipulate database data through instances of classes called Models, making the interaction with the database also be based on Object-Oriented Programming. It is high-level access; just by following the rules on how to create tables and set-up relationships among entities, a plugin can retrieve and/or save data without writing a line of SQL. For instance, the code below retrieves an object from the database through model Flight, modifies a property, and stores it again:

$flight = Flight::find(1); $flight->name = 'Darwin to Adelaide'; $flight->save();

Upgrading The Data Model

Another reason for WordPress’ success (in addition to not breaking backward compatibility) has been its database architecture, which was engineered to enable applications to grow over time. This objective is accomplished through “meta” properties, i.e. properties that can be loosely added to a database object at any moment. These properties are not stored in a column from the corresponding entity table (either wp_posts, wp_users, wp_comments or wp_terms), but instead as a row in the corresponding “meta” table (wp_postmeta, wp_usermeta, wp_commentmeta or wp_termmeta) and retrieved doing an INNER JOIN. Hence, even though retrieving these meta values is slower, they provide unlimited flexibility, and the application’s data model rarely needs to be re-architected from scratch in order to implement some new functionality.

WordPress provides unlimited flexibility for upgrading the application’s data model. (Large preview)

October CMS doesn’t use meta properties but instead can store several arbitrary values, which are not directly mapped as columns in the database tables, as a serialized JSON object. Otherwise, when an object needs some new property, we need to add a new column on the corresponding table (which is the reason behind plugins User Plus and User Plus+, mentioned earlier on). To update the application’s database schema, October CMS relies on Laravel’s Migrations, which are sets of instructions to execute against the schema (such as add or drop a column, rename an index, etc) and which are executed when upgrading the software (e.g. when installing a plugin’s new version).

Headless Capabilities

Both WordPress and October CMS can be used as headless, i.e. treating the CMS as a content management system that makes content accessible through APIs, which allows to render the website on the client-side and can power other applications (such as mobile apps). Indeed, WordPress is steadily heading towards headless, since the Gutenberg content editor itself treats WordPress as a headless CMS (and, as a consequence, Gutenberg can also work with any other CMS too, as Drupal Gutenberg demonstrates).

A headless system needs to implement some API to return the data, such as REST and GraphQL. WordPress supports REST through WP REST API (merged in core), exposing endpoints under some predefined route /wp-json/wp/v2/...; October CMS supports REST through plugins RESTful and API Generator, which allow to create custom endpoints and, as a consequence, support versioning as part of the endpoint URL and can offer a better security against bots. Concerning GraphQL, WordPress supports it through WPGraphQL, while October CMS currently has no implementations for it.

Quite importantly, a headless system needs to offer powerful content management capabilities. As mentioned earlier on, WordPress has a very solid database architecture, offering a plethora of data entities (users, posts and custom posts, pages, categories, tags and custom taxonomies, comments) over which the application can be reasonably well modelled, meta properties to extend these data entities (enabling the application to upgrade its data model accordingly and without major changes), and with plugin Advanced Custom Fields filling the gap to construct relationships among the data entities. In addition, plugin VersionPress allows to version control the database content using Git. Hence, WordPress is undoubtedly a good fit for managing content, as demonstrated in several projects in the wild.

On its part, and as mentioned earlier on, October CMS can omit the database and behave as a flat-file system, or it can have a database and behave as a hybrid, storing the content from pages as static files and blog posts (and others) on the database. As a consequence, content is not centralized, and its management involves a different approach. For instance, while we can use Git to version control pages, there is no support to version control the database per se; the solution to this is to populate data into the database through Seeders which, being code, can be put under version control and executed upon deployment. In addition, October CMS doesn’t offer a baked-in database model featuring predefined data entities that can support the needs of most applications. Hence, more likely than not the application will need custom development to implement its data model, which means more work, but also means that it can be more efficient (e.g. accessing a property from a column is faster than from a row in another table through an INNER JOIN, which is the case with WordPress’ meta properties).

CLI Support

Both WordPress and October CMS can be interacted with from the console through a Command Line Interface (CLI): WordPress through WP-CLI and October CMS through Laravel’s Artisan. In addition to Laravel’s commands, October CMS implements several custom commands for updating the system, migrating the database, and others. These tools make it very convenient to access the site from outside a browser, for instance for testing purposes.

Managed Hosting

It is not a problem finding a managed hosting provider for a WordPress site: given WordPress’ market share, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of providers out there vying with each other for the business, constituting a very dynamic market. The only problem is finding the most suitable provider for our specific sites based on all of their offerings, which can vary based on price, quality, type (shared or dedicated services), bandwidth and storage size, customer support, location, frequency of renewal of equipment, and other variables which we can navigate mainly through reviews comparing them (such as this one, this one or this one).

Even though nothing near as many as WordPress, October CMS still enjoys the offering from several hosting providers, which allows for some consideration and selection. Many of them are listed as October Partners, and several others are found DuckDuckGoing, but since I haven’t found any independent review of them or article comparing them, the task of finding out the most suitable one will take some effort.

Marketplace, Ecosystem And Cost

WordPress’ commercial ecosystem is estimated to be USD $10 billion/year, evidencing how many people and companies have managed to make a living by offering WordPress products and services, such as the creation of sites, hosting, theme and plugin development, support, security, and others. Indeed, its size is so big it is even bloated, meaning that it is very common to find different plugins solving the same problem, plugins that underdeliver, underperform or have not been updated for years, and themes which seem to look-alike each other. However, when creating a new site, the size and variety of the ecosystem also means that we will most likely find at least one plugin implementing each of the required functionalities, enabling us to save money by not having to develop the functionality ourselves, and the availability of customizable themes enables to produce a reasonably distinctive-looking site with minimal effort. As a consequence, we can easily create and launch a WordPress site for less than USD $100, making WordPress a sensible option for projects of any budget.

Being relatively new (only five years so far), OctoberCMS certainly doesn’t enjoy anything near WordPress’ marketplace and ecosystem sizes, however, it has been growing steadily so its size is bound to become bigger. Currently, its marketplace boasts 600+ plugins, and only a handful of themes. Concerning plugins, the October CMS team is requesting the community to put their effort into the creation of original plugins, delivering functionality not yet provided by any other plugin.

Hence, even though 600+ plugins doesn’t sound like much, at least these translate into 600+ different functionalities. This way, even though it is not possible to choose among several vendors, at least we can expect to have those basic website features (such as blogging, comments, forum, integration with social media, e-commerce, and others) to be covered. Also, since October’s founders are personally reviewing all submitted plugins and judging them according to quality guidelines, we can expect these plugins to perform as expected. As another plus, October plugins can incorporate elements from Laravel packages (even though not all of them are compatible with October, at least not without some hacks). Concerning themes, the low number of offerings implies we will most likely need to develop our own theme by hiring a developer for the task. In fact, I dare say that the theme in October CMS will most likely be a custom development, since themes and plugins are not thoroughly decoupled (as explained earlier), with the consequence that a market for easily-swappable themes is more difficult to arise. (This is a temporary problem though: once this pull request is resolved, pages will be able to be stored in the database, and swapping themes should not disrupt functionality.)

In my opinion, because of the smaller offerings of themes and plugins, creating a simple site with OctoberCMS will be more expensive than creating a simple WordPress site. For complex sites, however, October’s better architecture (Object-Oriented Programming and Model-View-Controller paradigms) makes the software more maintainable and, as a consequence, potentially cheaper.

Community

Being a part of and having access, WordPress’ community represents one of the most compelling reasons for using WordPress. This is not simply as a matter of size (powering nearly one third of all websites in the world, there are so many stakeholders involved with WordPress, and its community is representatively big) but also as a matter of diversity. The WordPress community involves people from many different professions (developers, marketers, designers, bloggers, sales people, and so on), from all continents and countries, speaking countless languages, from different social, educational and economic backgrounds, with or without disabilities, from corporate, not-for-profit and governmental organizations, and others. Hence, it is quite likely that, for whatever problem we encounter, somebody will be able to help on any of the support forums. And contributing to WordPress is pretty straightforward too: The Make WordPress group congregates stakeholders interested in supporting different projects (accessibility, design, internationalization, and many others) and organizes how and how regularly they communicate — mostly through some dedicated channel on its Slack workspace.

Furthermore, the WordPress community is real and tangible: it doesn’t exist just online, but it gathers offline in WordCamps and meetups all over the world; in 2018, there were a total of 145 WordCamps in 48 countries with over 45,000 tickets sold, and a total of 5,400 meetup events from 687 meetup groups. Hence, it is likely that there is a local chapter nearby which anyone can join to ask for help, learn how to use the platform, keep learning on a regular basis, and teach others as well. In this sense, WordPress is not just a CMS but, more importantly, it’s also people, and considering to leave WordPress should never be done only on its technical merits but on the power of its community, too.

WordCamp Kuala Lumpur 2017 drew more than 200 attendees, coming from several countries. (Large preview)

October CMS’ community is nothing near in size or diversity as WordPress’, even though it has been growing steadily following the increasing popularity of the software. October provides a support forum to ask for help, however, it is not very active. A Slack workspace exists which is pretty active and where, quite importantly, October’s founders participate regularly, helping make sure that all enquiries are properly addressed. This channel is a great source for learning low-level tips and tricks about the software, however, it is geared towards developers mainly: There are no channels concerning accessibility, design, internationalization, and other topics as in the WordPress community, at least not yet. Currently, there are no conferences concerning October CMS, but there is Laracon, the conference for the Laravel community.

Maintainers And Governance

Can we trust that the software will be maintained in the long term, so that if we decide to start a project today, we will not need to migrate to some other platform down the road? How many people are taking care of developing the software? And who is deciding in what direction the software moves towards?

Powering one-third of all sites in the world, WordPress is not short of stakeholders contributing to the software; hence we need not fear that the software will fall into decay. However, WordPress is going through internal deliberations concerning its governance model, with many members of the community expressing that decisions concerning WordPress’s direction are being taken unilaterally by Automattic, the company running WordPress.com. Center stage of this perception was the decision to launch Gutenberg, which many members disagreed with, and which suffered a lack of proper communication by the project leads during its development and release. As a consequence, many community members are questioning the role of “benign dictator”, which has been historically granted to WordPress’ founder and Automattic’s CEO Matt Mullenweg, and researching different governance models to find a more suitable one for the future of WordPress. It is yet to be seen if this quest produces any result, or if the status quo perseveres.

Decisions concerning October CMS’ direction are mainly taken by founders Alexey Bobkov and Samuel Georges and developer and community manager Luke Towers, which keep the project going strong. October CMS doesn’t have the luxury of having a governance problem yet: Its current concern is how to make the project sustainable by generating income for the core software’s maintainers.

Documentation

WordPress documentation in its own site is not extremely comprehensive, but it does the job reasonably well. However, when taking all of the documentation about WordPress into account from all sources, such as general sites (Smashing Magazine, CSS tricks, and many others), specialized sites (WPShout, WPBeginner, and many others), personal blogs, online courses, and so on, there is practically no aspect of dealing with WordPress that hasn’t already been covered.

October CMS doesn’t enjoy anything near the many third-party courses, tutorials or blog posts about it as much as WordPress does, however, the documentation on its site is reasonably comprehensive and certainly enough to start coding. October founders also regularly add new documentation through tutorials. One aspect that I personally enjoyed is the duplication of Laravel’s documentation into October’s documentation for everything of relevance, so the reader must not fill the gaps by him/herself and having to guess what is October’s domain and what is Laravel’s. However, this is not 100% perfect. October’s documentation uses terms originating from Laravel, such as middleware, service containers, facades and contracts, without adequately explaining what these are. Then, reading Laravel’s documentation in advance can be helpful (luckily, Laravel’s documentation is decidedly comprehensive, and Laravel’s screencasts, Laracasts, are another great source of learning, not just concerning Laravel but web development in general).

Conclusion

I set out to discover what features may be enticing for developers looking for alternatives to WordPress by comparing WordPress to a similar CMS, which I defined as being free and open source, based in PHP and producing dynamic content, and enjoying the support from some community. From the CMSs fulfilling these conditions, I chose October CMS for the comparison because of the knowledge I got about it, and because I appreciated its clean and modular coding approach as provided by Laravel, which could offer a fresh and modern perspective for building sites.

This article did not intend to pick a winner, but simply analyze when it makes sense to choose one or the other CMS, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. There is no “best” CMS: only the most suitable CMS for a specific situation. Furthermore, anyone looking for a CMS to use on a particular project with a specific team and given a certain budget, should do some research and compare all the offerings out there to find out which one is most suitable for the particular context. It’s important not to limit to a few CMSs as I’ve done here in this article, but instead give a chance to all of them.

On a personal note, as a developer, what I found in October CMS is really appealing to me, mostly its ability to build modular applications as provided through Laravel. I would certainly consider this CMS for a new website. However, in the process of writing this article I also “rediscovered” WordPress. Being so popular, WordPress receives more than its fair share of criticisms, mostly concerning its old codebase and, since recently, the introduction of Gutenberg; however, WordPress also has certain excellent features (such as its super-scalable database model) which are seldom praised but should be taken into account too. And most importantly, WordPress should not be considered on its technical aspects alone: in particular, the size of its community and ecosystem places it a level or two above its alternatives. In a nutshell, some projects may benefit from sticking to WordPress, while others may better rely on October CMS or another platform.

As a final note, I would like to remark that exploring how another CMS works is a very rewarding activity on its own, independent of the decision reached concerning whether to use that particular CMS or not. In my case, I had been working for years on WordPress alone, and delving into October CMS was very refreshing since it taught me many things (such as the existence of PHP Standards Recommendations) which I had not been exposed to through WordPress. I may now decide to switch CMSs, or stick to WordPress knowing how to produce better code.

Software Engineer Resume: Guide and a Sample [+20 Examples]

Welcome to your new office. There's your brand new Herman Miller chair. Your SSD laptop with vertical and horizontal monitors. Your business credit card.

Down the hall is a staff kitchen like something from the Zuckerberg mansion. There's free food. Free laundry. Free massages.

Basically, you've nailed a job at a unicorn company.

And it all started with a software engineer resume that stood out like Linus Torvalds.

Now. How can you make that dream a reality?

It's simple. Just show that great company how much they need you.

This guide will demonstrate:

A software engineering resume example better than 9 out of 10 other resumes.

How to write a software engineer resume that will land you more interviews.

Tips and examples of how to put skills and achievements on a software engineer resume.

How to describe your experience on a resume for a software engineer to get any job you want.

Here's a sample resume for a software engineer made using our resume builder.

Want to save time and have your resume ready in 5 minutes? Try our resume builder. It’s fast and easy to use. Plus, you'll get tips and right vs. wrong examples while writing your resume. See +20 resume templates and create your resume here.

Software Engineer Resume Example - See +20 resume templates and create your resume here.

What's the Best Format for a Software Engineer Resume?

The best example of a software engineer resume is one that gets the interview.

Yet recruiters, and especially those at unicorn companies, spend only six seconds looking at each resume.

That's why you must use a resume format that grabs on like a LogMeIn connection and doesn't let go.

Use the reverse-chronological layout. It front-loads your strengths, showing all your best moments at a glance.

To make it really pop, use clear, legible fonts and plenty of white space.

Finally, save your software developer resume in PDF format. That'll keep your layout intact as it travels through cyberspace.

Pro Tip: PDFs are the way to go unless they conflict with the company's Applicant Tracking System. How can you know? Check the job listing.

Not completely sold on the reverse-chronological resume format? See our guide: "3 Resume Formats: How to Choose the Best One [Examples]"

How to Write a Resume Summary or Resume Objective

Many career experts say, "When writing a software engineer resume, don't use a resume summary or objective statement."

Those career experts are wrong.

A generic summary or objective will make recruiters yawn.

But a good one will grab hiring managers like a sudo command.

Use a resume summary if you've got lots of experience.

Use a resume objective if you're a new graduate or you're switching careers.

Let's start with the resume summary for a software developer. It's a highlights reel of your best shining moments.

But there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Two Senior Software Engineer Resume Summary Examples

Look at the two very different software engineer resume examples below:

wrong

Software engineer with 7+ years experience, skilled in C++, ASP.NET, SQL, Java, Python, Javascript, C#, Perl, and PHP, looking for a position as a software developer for Oracle.

Okay, it sounds impressive. But it's got a fatal error. It's just like all the others. No wonder career experts say to avoid it!

Now try this short sample, from a much better software developer resume:

right

Results-Focused Software Engineer

Energetic software engineer with 7+ years experience developing robust code for high-volume businesses. Increased code-efficiency of XYZ Corp customer portal by 55%. Boosted customer retention by 25%. Spearheaded a team that won the 2016 BOSSIE Award for cloud computing. An enthusiastic team player and deep creative thinker.

Wow, right? So do you need to win a BOSSIE to get the job? No. Just sift through your past and find those glowing moments that scream, "Hire this genius!"

Start with a deep, brainstormed file of all your "selling points." Then, when writing your software engineer resume summary section, use the 3 or 4 that match the job description.

Our resume builder will give you tips and examples on how to write your resume summary. You can easily copy them straight into your resume - it will save you a ton of time.

Inside our resume builder you will find tips and examples for your resume.

How to Write a Resume Objective for an Entry Level Software Engineer

Maybe your work experience is as thin as a healthcare company firewall. Don't sweat it. Use a resume objective. It's the way to go for fresh graduates or those looking for a new niche.

Use these two very different software engineer resumes as a starting point:

Two Entry Level Computer Science Resume Examples

wrong

Looking for a job as a software engineer because I've got a degree in it, I have studied 23 programming languages like everyone else, and I'm extremely good, trust me.

That's not a resume objective statement. It's a one-way ticket to the recycle bin. Now of course you won't do that, but if you don't get really specific, that's how it'll read.

Think measurable details like in the software developer resume objective below:

right

Team player software engineer with a can-do attitude, phenomenal time management skills, and a strong user focus. Has developed several web and mobile apps, including a home security system using Raspberry Pi and a webcam.

Wow, right? Specific. But the real key here is whether those strong points match the job description. If not, flat tire.

But what if you don't have even that much experience? I'll explain the fix for that in a minute.

Pro Tip: Your resume objective or resume summary is the icing on your job search cake. Write it last, and include the best bits from the rest of your resume.

Still fuzzy on how to write a professional resume summary or objective for a software engineer resume? See the computer science resume template at the top of this article. Or see our guides: "How To Write A Resume Summary: 21 Best Examples You Will See" AND "+20 Resume Objective Examples - Use Them on Your Resume (Tips)"

How to Describe Your Software Engineer Experience

Let's circle back to our unicorn company job. The one with lots of breaks and free Fitbits and a complimentary Kinesis keyboard.

How much do you think experience matters to that company?

If you said, "A lot," gold star.

That's why your software engineer resume's experience section needs to sing your programming experience from the rooftops.

Put your most recent work first. Showcase 4-5 wins and responsibilities that fit the job offer.

Glance at the senior software developer resume samples below. They're for a job opening that values leadership, production, file management, and security.

Senior Software Engineer Resume Examples

right

Senior Software Engineer

CloudWallop Inc.

July 2015 - July 2017

Responsible for spearheading teams that handled the software development life cycle for 10 client projects, end to end.

Built infrastructure to handle millions of client files in proprietary systems.

Led the drive to implement the Principle of Least Privilege across 100% of software development staff.

Reduced security breaches by 73% for all customers companywide.

Built security into new product features to achieve 100% compliance with industry best practices.

See that? The candidate used her experience section to prove she fits the job like a glove. She also used great action words to do it.

Now look at another senior software engineering resume example.

wrong

Senior Software Engineer

CloudWallop Inc.

July 2015 - July 2017

Responsible for leading teams of software developers.

Used Java to implement scalable features for client software.

Worked independently to meet tight deadlines in a dynamic team environment.

Used a solid understanding of web protocols to handle a large workload.

Worked on several security projects.

Can you see the problem with that software engineer resume sample? It's generic. No achievements.

Yet this is the same person and the same job. In the second resume objective example, she just hasn't figured out the hack yet!

What if You Don't Have Experience?

If you lack experience, don't fret.

It's actually pretty easy to get some.

You can do free projects for small businesses. You can contribute to open source projects. You can even come up with your own coding activities at home.

Maybe you've designed a home security app for your apartment. To you it was all in fun. But it might make a hiring manager say, "This kid has drive."

Which of the two junior software engineer resume samples below look more impressive?

wrong

Freelance Software Engineer

June 2016 - present

Received my BA in Software Engineering in 2016.

Still trying to build experience. I've sent off 15 software engineer resumes so far.

You can't blame the job candidate for not having experience. But she could have the software engineer experience section below.

right

Freelance Software Engineer

June 2016 - present

Composed an app to allow voice control of lights, garage door, and home thermostat, using an Amazon Echo and Raspberry Pi.

Built a real time stock picking app that compares current price to Uniform Adjusted Financial Reporting Standards data to identify buy-now opportunities.

Built new search functionality into the next generation StratoDB scalable database management system.

President, XYZ University Young Women in Tech. Facilitated monthly meetings to enhance a diverse community in software engineering. Managed activities like monthly tech talks, workshops, and student panels.

Here's a great list of GitHub projects beginners can chip in on to build a little instant PR. And this Quora thread gives suggestions for beginner projects that add quick experience to any resume.

Pro Tip: Don't lie. If you brag about a skill or experience in your resume, then can't demonstrate it in the interview, you're toast. Talk up only those strengths you can prove.

Make your professional software developer resume even better with action words. See our guide: "+80 Examples of Resume Action Words for Every Profession"

Is Your Education Section Underperforming? It Might Be

Unless you went to Harvard or got a 4.0, your education section doesn't matter.

Right?

That's absolutely false.

Your education section doesn't matter if you make it generic.

The education section of your computer engineering resume can be the thing that gets you hired.

Start off with the basics:

College Name and Location.

Years in School.

Degree.

The magic happens when you add your list of college "wins." Just like with work experience, make a master list of your achievements first.

Then, pick those 4-6 items that best fit the job description.

Can you spot the difference between these two software developer resume samples?

Two Java Developer Resume Examples

wrong

2012-2015 BA, Software Engineering

University of Washington Bothell

Received a BA in Software Engineering

Took classes in C#, C++, Java, PHP, SQL, Perl, Python, Ruby.

GPA 3.7

Worked in the cafeteria.

As generic as a no-name box of noodles. It could be anyone.

Now clap your eyes on a software developer resume example that grabs the recruiter by the eyeballs:

right

2012-2015 BA, Software Engineering

University of Washington Bothell

Pursued my passion for Java server programming through six advanced classes.

VP of Jugger-Is, the campus machine learning club, 2014-2015.

Delivered an actionable webinar on best practices for security in cloud servers that was linked to by the popular "Dr. Dobbs Journal."

My article, "How Cloud Computing Will Change Your Life" was published in the campus magazine.

See?

That second software engineering resume example stands out like red-font annotation.

The point here isn't that you should go back in time and do all those the activities. It's that you probably already have an impressive list and you just aren't using it.

See the computer science resume template at the top of this article for an example.

Pro Tip: Need help tailoring your software developer resume to the job description? See this great guide on how to tailor a resume any job offer.

For advice to make your software engineer resume jump out like a neon pop-up window, see our guide: "How to Put Your Education on a Resume [Tips & Examples]"

How to Put Skills on a Resume for a Software Engineer

Picture you're a hiring manager.

You've got a folder with 250+ junior software engineer resumes.

Do you read every one?

No. You don't.

Like Tony Stark hunting a needle in a haystack, you use a magnet.

In this case, that's an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

It sends the 75 resumes with the right keywords to another folder, which you read. The others go to folder #2.

Stay out of folder #2.

Don't worry. I'm going to show you how to pick the right software engineer resume skills keywords to get you hired.

First, build your master list of every skill you have. Soft skills, hard skills, any skills at all. You'll refer to it for every software developer resume you make, so spend a little time on it.

Start with the sample resume keywords list below, then brainstorm your own. Look at other job offers online for inspiration too.

"Soft" Skills "Hard" Skills Languages Creativity Web Development Java Leadership Data Structures SQL Communication Open Source Experience C# Critical Thinking Coding Java Script Calm Demeanor Security C++ Collaboration Machine Learning Python Inquisitiveness Debugging iOS Enthusiasm Problem Solving PHP Positive Attitude PHP Ruby/Rails

Next, read the job offer. From a LinkedIn job description, we pulled the following skills keywords:

Skills

Problem analysis, problem solving, distributed systems knowledge, Java, Java debugging, troubleshooting, open source knowledge, interpersonal, self-motivated.

Last, match the skills you truly have with the skills list from the job description. But don't just list them.

Prove them on your software developer resume by weaving them into your experience and education sections.

Example of Skills on a Software Engineer Resume

Here's how to put skills on a software engineer resume.

Let's say you're applying for a job at Airbnb. It values teamwork, building full stack applications, creative thinking, data storage skills, and Java.

So, include those in your skills section, experience section, and education section, like this:

Skills

Skilled in teamwork, leadership, creative thinking.

Adept at data structures, problem solving, end-to-end coding.

Passion for Java, SQL.

Experience

Collaborated with multiple teams daily to build full stack applications for dozens of clients.

Used Java and SQL to build data storage solutions for several high-volume businesses.

Spearheaded the company idea generation program. Improved efficiency in software development life cycle by 38%.

Education

Heavy concentration in data structures, Java, SQL.

Organized the university hackathon in two consecutive years.

Built a mock customer service webapp for a Senior Scholar project.

See how the software engineer resume examples above paint a picture of a candidate who fills the bill like Larry Page or Bjarne Stroustrup?

Finally, there's no need to fudge your skills. Find honest ways to show you've got the right stuff for the job. Otherwise you may get tripped up in the interview.

Pro Tip: Once build a master skills list, you can start your own collection of software engineer resume templates that fit different skill sets.

To make your computer engineering resume skills section crackle, follow the resume template at the top of this article. Also, see this guide: "+30 Best Examples of What Skills to Put on a Resume (Proven Tips)"

How to Add Other Sections for an Effective Resume

Got awards, accolades, or certifications and want to put them in your resume?

Add another section.

Call it projects, awards, accolades, hobbies, or whatever seems to fit.

Add only those things that'll make a hiring manager whistle like R2D2.

Look at the examples below from two distinct software engineer resumes:

right

Activities

Moderated a security panel at the Developer Week convention in 2014.

Shortlisted for a National Center for Women and IT Award in 2015.

Member, IAENG Society of Software Engineers since 2013.

Attended the Software Engineering Professionals Hackathon in 2015.

wrong

Activities

Rebuilt a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine.

Walked dogs at a local shelter three times.

Long walks on the beach.

The activities in the first example will make a recruiter say, "She's passionate. I bet she'll bring that passion to our company."

Why You Need an Online Portfolio

If you make a good enough resume, recruiters will weed-whack a path to your front steps.

Right?

Sadly, no.

In fact, as G.I. Joe might say, making a great software engineer resume is only half the battle.

The other half is using it to point to good examples of your work.

That's why you need a solid online portfolio.

For inspiration, see this great software engineer portfolio, or this, or this.

Pro Tip: Use your online portfolio to show off all your projects, then link specifically to the ones that make the most sense for the job offer at hand.

Here's the Most Common Myth About Cover Letters

Nobody writes cover letters anymore, right?

That's true. If you're talking about the ones who don't get hired.

A cover letter is the short version of your resume. It tells recruiters whether you're worth looking at.

Without a cover letter, nearly half of all recruiters will pass by your professional software engineer resume without a second look.

Here are a couple tips to nail it:

Use the recruiter's name.

Mention a detail you like about the company.

Show how you can help the company.

For that last part, look at the sample below, from a cover letter from a software developer resume. The position values leadership, communication, and Java programming.

Example

Spearheaded development for a suite of high-volume services in Java.

Deployed multiple operating services on Linux.

Received a JAX Innovation Award for Java programming, 2014.

Implemented pair programming company-wide for a fast-paced development firm. Increased efficiency 35% for all software engineers.

Pro Tip: After you send in your resume and cover letter, follow up! A quick email or phone call can make all the difference. Use findthat.email to dig up missing contact info.

Key Takeaway

Tailor your software engineer resume to fit each job opening. For tips on how to do that, see this excellent guide.

Fit your experience, skills, and education sections to the job description. Choose measurable, memorable wins from each job, and from your education.

Make an online portfolio, and link to it from your resume. An online portfolio lets interested recruiters take the next step on their own. That's true whether you're a junior freelance software developer, or you're writing a resume for a systems engineer position.
