Why Migrate from Django to WordPress

The most important question is, why is migrating your website from Django to WordPress a good idea? The answer is simple – Django might not be the best for you.

Difficult to Maintain

WordPress CMS is a one-time install that updates and maintains itself whereas Django’s Python-based CMS needs manual updates and maintenance regularly.

Outdated Modules

The WordPress community ensures that advanced plugins and extensions are available for integration; Django offers a comparatively outdated feature set.

Rigid Architecture

Django forces you to follow set patterns, which takes a toll on customization, while WordPress helps you choose your own architecture, design patterns and more.

Suboptimal Speed

Django’s Python based framework can impact website speed, while WordPress’ PHP based CMS ensures enhanced optimization.

Django ORM is Limiting

Your Django website is entirely dependent on the Django ORM which has limitations, while WordPress is not an MVC and not ORM based.

Tight Coupling in Django

Developers need to deploy all web components simultaneously, and it enforces tight-coupling of components that can impede website scalability and extensibility.

Lack of Conventional Focus

Django follows a configuration over a conventional approach that demands explicit definition of configuration to increase development timelines.

Lacking Across-the-Board Suitability

WordPress is the right choice for all kinds of websites irrespective of size. That is not the case with Django, as its ORM system lacks certain features.

Poor Documentation

WordPress developers benefit from its living documentation that is constantly updated; on the other hand Django suffers from poor documentation, even when it comes to its plugins.
