WordPress

You will find a lot of ready-made standard themes. Check if they fit your needs or let DIE NEUDENKER develop an individual theme based on WordPress for your company.

django CMS

Individual development. Easy integration and extension of functions, according to your requirements.

WordPress

Walt Disney, Sony Music, Daimler and Xing rely on WordPress.

django CMS

The django framework is used by YouTube, instagram, L'Oreal and even NASA.

WordPress

WordPress convinces with a clear, easy to understand administration area with numerous options. You create your pages with the advanced frontend editor Elementor. Alternatively, you can also use the page builder WP Bakery or Gutenberg Editor.

django CMS

Complex contents can be easily edited in the admin area. With the content editor you can also edit your content directly on your page, for example to insert texts, images or your individually programmed elements.

WordPress

Users can be assigned individual roles with different rights (administrator, editor, author ...)

The WP user types are not very flexible, but can be adapted by plugins. (Plugins: Members, user role editor, advanced access manager, multisite user management)

django CMS

In role management django CMS is more flexible than WordPress: the access rights of users can be extended and adapted as desired for each page.

The admin area looks slimmer than in WordPress, but offers you a similar range of functions.

WordPress

Can become very fast due to caching plugins. For complex and multilingual pages, but also pages with member area, we advise you to use a hoster with a lot of computing power. So the administration area remains fast and the loading time for your website visitors is low.

django CMS

Fast loading times are an extremely important factor for a positive user experience. Django CMS remains extremely fast even for pages with a lot of content - even without caching.

WordPress

WordPress is not designed for multilingualism, but can be set up quickly with a plugin (e.g. TranslatePress).

django CMS

Offers an integrated translation function that allows you to create your pages directly in different languages.

WordPress

Flexibly expandable: We can develop and implement new functions individually. But there are also numerous plug-ins with which WordPress can be extended.

django CMS

Smaller plugin selection than with WordPress. But new functions can be integrated more easily and cleanly and thanks to the django framework they can be easily adapted to your individual wishes.

Even complex functions are possible without further ado. For example, you can manage your product portfolio, generate PDFs from the data sheets and then automatically offer them as downloads on your website.

WordPress

With Yoast, the best known SEO plugin, search engine measures can be easily implemented for the beginning. You can create page titles and meta descriptions and preview them in the search engine result lists. A simple traffic light system helps you to optimize the page content.

django CMS

Keywords, page title and meta description can be created individually for each page. URLs can be made search engine friendly. 

WordPress

Blog2Social is a (paid) plugin that allows you to share news and articles automatically on social media platforms like LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram and facebook. So you get more reach in less time.

WordPress

Thousands of hosters are available. WordPress and the plugins need to be updated regularly to keep your system and website secure. We do not recommend automatic updates - they may interfere with the functionality of your website.

DIE NEUDENKER® will be there for you after the go-live with support & professional maintenance.

django CMS

You have less hosters to choose from, but hosting is possible from 5€ per month.

Alternatively, you can simply have your django CMS set up by a cloud provider such as Digital Ocean or AWS.

Django CMS is low maintenance and rarely needs version updates.
