Is Wordpress better than the rest?

There's no question that they are successful.
We bet big on the fact that dealers wanted a drag and drop CMS and I'm still driving a Subaru to work every day.

I genuinely like what we ended up with, but the reality (as you said) is that the dominant portion of the market expects a vendor to do the work for them. Our clients that want to edit pages, building weekly landing pages and own their websites are happy. Those that have us manage their site don't know the difference between Glovebox and any Wordpress solution.

That sucks, because your offering looks superb. Unfortunately, especially in auto, it comes down to connections (OEM-approval), bullsh*t, etc., when the fact is a tool like yours is far superior to those that own a ton of market share. At the end of the day, dealers just want something that is easy to use.
