For adding a blog to an existing site on a modern tech stack: ButterCMS https://buttercms.com

Thanks!

Thanks! So I assume for the companies you consulted at they were not a web based application? (per your "app and marketing are intertwined and should not be separated" comment)

I'm curious how did you "tie" the Wordpress site to the custom app? Did you simply use subdomains like app.example.com or was there a deeper integration?

Also, if the Wordpress site went down, who was getting paged in the middle of the night? The agency, the eng team, or both?

Thanks! I'm interested in both ecommerce and SaaS though I suppose you're right in that ecommerce they will always be one in the same.

Does everyone on your eng team share that same belief in the importance of working with marketing? I ask because I've been in situations where engineers would've rather worked on juicy technical challenges of the main application. Marketing "asks" for a new analytics tool or CMS were viewed as a nuisance and sometimes outsourced to a Wordpress agency.

You're dead on. We've seen this in talking to companies and have gotten their input on how to properly scope + size services. We'll be publishing these insights in an upcoming chapter.

Agreed. I really enjoyed that one as well, helps put great perspective on the software we build.

Great question, I was under the same assumption.

If you have an existing web application (i.e. Rails or Django) and need to add in CMS, Wordpress becomes suboptimal very quickly. If you're doing work for a client website, they want you to spend as few hours ($$$) as possible launching a CMS. For that there are modern API-first CMS like https://buttercms.com that were built to quickly integrate into any tech stack. Which means you remain very productive working in technology you're comfortable with instead of learning PHP (in the event you're well versed in Ruby or Python, for example).

Ha. Looks like it's back up.

I assume you've seen this: https://github.com/yabwe/medium-editor

It uses ContentEditable. Wonder what your thoughts are?
