Over the past year I've been experimenting with many different website publishing services to power Sofa's infrastructure. Things like Notion, Super, Framer, and Ghost.
I've recently merged my three websites into one using Wordpress. In this video, I explain why I moved to Wordpress and what I've learned along the way about these other services.

Big fan of your content! Looking forward to a video on your things/notion workflow for managing sofas roadmap and documentation!

Elementor is awesome. Thanks for the overview of what you've used and liked, Shawn. This is helpful.

Glad it was helpful!

Super interesting video - Seen a lot of noise regarding framer this year and as a designer myself have been considering it, but its refreshing to see a more considered perspective reflecting some of my concerns and the comparison with Elementor which I've used previously.

Thanks! Framer is an incredible tool and I hope it sticks around for a long time.

Thanks for this, I've been thinking about choosing a CMS for ages. It sounds like, for my needs, notion and super would be nice to try.

@shawn.hickman Год назад

Nice! The new tier of Super looks like it resolves some of the issues I experienced early on. I'd love to hear how this goes for you.

I'm sticking with Squarespace for now, but I didn't update it for a while and now have to add pages for 4 Apps in it. I'll keep Wordpress as a second option in mind.

@shawn.hickman Год назад

Squarespace isn’t a bad option at all! It’s just not something I personally used.

I chose Framer for client websites. Will keep using WP for my own sites. For client sites I find WP a pain as it's too maintenance heavy - always some problem somewhere.

@shawn.hickman Год назад

Interesting! Are you clients editing content in Framer via the CMS feature?

@PaulVoorberg Год назад

@@shawn.hickman Working on my first framer client site right now, it's a one pager so no need for cms for most of the page. Will use the cms for the contents of a popup though which will show upcoming event dates and locations. Framer does have a learning curve but I like the flexibily and simplicity. Not having to deal with hosting, wp installs, configs, plugin security, maintenance and all that jazz. One pagers are only 5 euro per month also, so pretty low bar to entry.

@JoseMunoz-cs8le Год назад

Did you ever considered Webflow? It seems like a middle ground between Framer and wordpress.

@shawn.hickman Год назад

I briefly looked at it before I used Framer, but I never dove deep with it. May have to give it a second look.
