[USER=3505]@craigh[/USER], thanks for the CarDealerPress mention!


As with most software/processes/companies, there is never a one size fits all. [USER=8506]@nickb[/USER], to respect the no-pitch policy please feel free to DM me if you would like to explore what we offer and see if there is a fit. We also have a page on our site for the plugins, themes, and hosting that we use that may be some help. These are what we have settled on after using WordPress in one form or another over the last 10 years.


There are also several automotive themes that have the inventory management baked in; Gorilla Themes is one that comes to mind.


[USER=3505]@craigh[/USER], & [USER=7099]@Gayle Rogers[/USER], Re: WordPress. From my experience dealing with developers over the years... most code sucks (when asking another developer especially). Just about every good developer will want to rewrite whatever it is they just finished the moment they finished it. This happens because there is always a better way to do something, especially after you have more experience. Then there are varying opinions on which programming language to use and why. Most of the software engineers that I have interacted with would prefer to avoid PHP in the first place, but also understand it's place in the ecosystem. WordPress' strength is its ability to empower non-coders to accomplish tasks that would normally be out of reach without spending a lot of money and it's immense ecosystem.
