Which brands are using WordPress?
September 3, 2013Why does Digital Tsunami advocate WordPress?
Corporations require security, stability, efficiency and high ROI in all operations. When developing digital solutions, it is critical that these attributes are delivered by the content management system (CMS).
However, not all CMS are created equal, and as the marketplace is replete with them, so the justification must be robust.
Firstly, WordPress is the best platform for SEO. At a fundamental level, it is optimised for meta-tags, URL re-writing, social media and content cross-referencing.
Secondly, the scalability, flexibility, volume of themes (structures) and plugins (functional components), worldwide knowledge network and ease-of-use, ensure that WordPress delivers substantial ROI.
Finally, if validation is required, just look at the MNCs, Fortune 500 companies and globally recognised brands which are using WordPress for their sites and/or blogs.
These include automotive brands: Ford, GM and Volkswagen; electronics manufacturers: Blackberry, GE, Sony and Samsung; musicians: Jay-Z, Katy Perry and The Rolling Stones; broadcasters: CBS Interactive, CNN and MTV; financial media: Forbes and Reuters; technology media: Mashable, TechCrunch and Wired Magazine; and respected print publications: National Geographic, The New York Times, Time Magazine and The Wall Street Journal.
Significant in the rationale for WordPress, is its value in enabling high Google page rank for specific search terms. Our SEO strategists state that “WordPress is the best CMS for Google”.
WordPress enables the automatic construction of architecture with non-duplicable content (unique section addresses, unique page addresses, unique post addresses, unique image links) and enables the developer to ensure that multiple forms of navigation, search results, ‘no-follow’ tags, alt text, text, meta-tags and the Google sitemap, all contribute to page ranking.
The ‘clone’ function enables instant duplication of posts and pages with all layout functionality intact.
After developing scores of sites on the WordPress platform, Digital Tsunami offers considerable expertise in delivering the most effective and efficient communications solutions.
WordPress projects which Digital Tsunami currently has in development, include: an interactive mapping site for a joint federal and state government authority; a product showcase for a defence contractor; a profile of a major resource executive; a comprehensive site for an educational institution; a secure Intranet for a national financial services organisation; and a international export market site for a European operated home construction facility in China.
All new sites developed by Digital Tsunami are responsive, so that the experience on a handheld device is appropriate to that device and screen size.

Founded soon after the emergence of the World Wide Web in 1994, Digital Tsunami personnel recall hard coding websites before any CMS existed.
In 2005, Digital Tsunami built a proprietary CMS ‘DeployControl‘, which has served for many years as an exceptionally easy to use, effective and simply powerful platform for our clients, including multinational corporations and Australian national federations. As a proprietary product, use of DeployControl required a licence fee. However, the GFC and a trend toward open source platforms directed us to WordPress.
With almost 17 years of experience in the digital domain, you can trust the services we provide.

From Our Clients
The launch .. was a success. We were able to present this live on a Wireless connection during our Sydney, Australia sales conference on a location with very limited internet bandwidth. This proves the technology used .. renders light webpages which are easy to download on a browser.
Comments I've heard from our employees were all positive and reflected precisely what we were looking for: a simple but concise, clean and effective webpage.
We acknowledge the timeframe given to you was extremely short but nevertheless you have sucessfully delivered the project on schedule .. the critical success factor was communication and availability of Digital Tsunami's team.
I am very glad we were able to partner with such a professional team as yours and I am confident any other initiatives with you will be as successful.
Thank you for all your efforts in creating our new website which achieves our agreed objectives : elegantly smart, yet understated, professional and easy to use.
Foodbank has experienced unprecedented growth .. there is no doubt that the new Foodbank website, designed, built and maintained pro bono by Digital Tsunami, has been the principle tool in lifting Foodbank's profile. It is because our website is so engaging, that we have captured these donations. Foodbank just wouldn't be where we are today without Digital Tsunami.
In taking the time to understand our business, industry and vision, Digital Tsunami created a site which strongly reflects our leadership position in the international market and our strategic direction.
Digital Tsunami's expertise in visual design, information architecture, innovative communication and evocative business writing, resulted in an extremely effective website which will contribute to our continuing expansion across the globe.
I have viewed all the videos and would like to commend you on the excellent quality.
I would like to thank you for the excellent editing which portrays the event as dynamic and stimulating.
