2023 will see enterprise and WordPress become even closer

There are already plenty of reasons why the world’s biggest banks, technology companies, and media organisations choose WordPress, but what’s coming down the road to make the choice of CMS even easier?

There are exciting things to come for big WordPress…
As we look ahead to 2023, it’s clear that the world of business is facing some challenges.
Economic headwinds are making it tough for companies to focus on long-term brand building, and many businesses are feeling the pressure to prioritise short-term gains over long-term growth.
But we believe that there’s still plenty of opportunity out there, especially for companies that are willing to invest in customer experience. That’s why I’m really excited about the potential for WordPress to drive innovation and success for enterprise in the year ahead.
