of Medium to WordPress Migration  

When it comes to blogging ­ there are lots of choices all around with new                             alternatives releasing­closing every year. As long as Medium’s shutdown is on                     the horizon, WordPress must be high on your consideration list when                     wondering about your website migration. In this article we’re going to focus on                         the key features that keep WordPress ahead and present the simplest migration                       way to this powerful and stable platform.  

Firstly, Medium is a simple great looking CMS that is considered to be                         one of the easiest­to­use platforms for non­technical users. It’s large audience                     allows to grant your posts with as many eyes on it as possible. The ability to                               comment on each paragraph makes readers feel that they’re contributing to a                       piece’s development, not just responding to a finished draft. Though there’s a                       pool of advantages associated with the software ­ there’re still lots of                       drawbacks. To be specific, Medium is not customizable. It is made to look a                           certain way and it stays that way no matter what kind of content you’re                           creating. The problem is that it’s impossible to expand it as required. Besides, if                           Medium ever goes through redesign and you don’t like it ­ there’s no other                           choice. 

If a stable CMS solution with tons of plugins and themes provided is                         what you need ­ Medium is not the way to go. Alternatively,WordPressis far                             more versatile CMS if compared with Medium. The platform allows to create                       not only blogs, but also full­featured websites, ecommerce sites, expanded web                     projects and much more. With WordPress there’s a total control over the                       website content so there’s no need to worry that one day it will close together                             with your data. Besides, it comes shipped with a gazillion of templates and                         plugins, so you may make it look and feel as required. A few mouse clicks and                               WordPress is configured to fit and suit most of your demands and needs. And                           all this happens thanks to the platforms versatile plugins.
