While administering a website, you may experience that your current CMS
platform lacks something or there are things that you would rather leave
out. Depending on what size you want your project to be, what kind of
experience and skills you have and many other not less important details
one platform may fit you better than the other. Let’s look at some particular
examples.

MediaWiki and WordPress are some of the platforms, you can run your web project on.
MediaWiki is a free software, developed by the Wikipedia Foundation. Thus the most
important thing to remember about it is that its core structure was designed in a way to
fit Wikipedia. Due to this one of the downsides of MediaWiki is open access and a flat
file structure. Also if you are planning to have a comparatively small project, MediaWiki
is not the best choice for you, since it is architecturally designed to operate big scale
web projects.

WordPress, on the other hand, allows you to either expand or narrow down its
functionality the way you wish. It can be used both as a simple blog and a complex web
project. Moreover it is the easiest to manage CMS platform you can find. All of the
customization options, settings and SEO options are really user friendly and nicely
arranged.
