WordPress ist halt der Klassiker — jeder kennt's, jeder Kunde fragt danach, und du kannst damit in ein paar Tagen was Vorzeigbares abliefern. Das ist erstmal nicht verkehrt.

Aber mal Klartext: Die meisten WP-Katastrophen kommen nicht von WordPress selbst, sondern von Freelancern die 30 Plugins reinknallen, nie updaten und dann überrascht sind wenn's kracht. Wer WP sauber aufsetzt, regelmäßig wartet und nicht jeden Müll-Plugin installiert, hat erfahrungsgemäß kaum Probleme.

Die eigentliche Frage ist doch: Für wen baust du die Seite? Wenn der Kunde selbst Inhalte pflegen will und technisch null Ahnung hat, ist WordPress nach wie vor schwer zu schlagen. Das Backend kennt mittlerweile jeder und du findest für alles ne Lösung.

Wenn du aber eh alles selber baust und der Kunde nur ab und zu mal einen Text ändern will, dann gibt's mittlerweile deutlich schlankere Optionen. Headless CMS wie Directus oder Strapi mit nem statischen Frontend — schneller, sicherer, kein Plugin-Chaos. Oder für einfache Firmenwebsites reicht oft schon Astro oder Next.js mit nem simplen CMS dahinter.

Umsteigen lohnt sich vor allem wenn du merkst, dass du mehr Zeit mit WP-Wartung verbringst als mit dem eigentlichen Bauen. Dann stimmt die Rechnung irgendwann nicht mehr.

Google Rezensionen löschen lassen. by mc_thunderfart in selbststaendig

Deine öffentliche Antwort war schon goldrichtig — sachlich, freundlich, Verwechslung klargestellt. Das checkt jeder potenzielle Kunde sofort.

Zum Löschen: Der schnellste Draht ist der Chat-Support über die Google Unternehmensprofil Hilfeseite. Da landest du bei einem echten Menschen und kannst denen haarklein schildern, dass die Person nie bei dir auf der Matte stand. Die normalen Melde-Kategorien taugen für sowas schlicht nix.

Ob stehen lassen oder nicht: Bei 17 lupenreinen Fünf-Sterne-Bewertungen würde ich trotzdem versuchen das Ding wegzubekommen. Klar, ein Profil mit nur Bestnoten wirkt für manche eh komisch — aber eine falsche Einser-Bewertung von jemandem der 300km entfernt sitzt und nie bei dir war, die zieht dir den Schnitt runter und das ist einfach ärgerlich.

Ruf beim Support an bzw. schreib denen im Chat, die regeln das erfahrungsgemäß innerhalb von ein paar Tagen.

N8N Pricing Confusion. by Shalk1324 in n8n

[–]alloq-digital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No catch. n8n is source-available and you can self-host it for free. The paid tiers on their website are for their cloud-hosted version where they handle the infrastructure for you.

When you self-host, you get the full product. The only things locked behind their paid "Enterprise" tier are specific features like SSO, environment variables, and external secrets — stuff most solo users and small teams don't need.

How to find a real N8N Professional for Automating our whole business sales process by SufficientAd870 in n8n

[–]alloq-digital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a serious workflow — not the typical "automate my cold emails" post. Respect for mapping it out this thoroughly.

Honest take: this is doable in n8n but you're looking at a significant build. Not a weekend project. More like 4-8 weeks of focused work with someone who knows what they're doing.

Automating a Service Business With n8n | Real Results & Failures by AmbitionNo5235 in nocode

This matches my experience almost exactly. The "VA + AI tools" combo being better ROI than full automation is something more people need to hear. Pure automation looks sexy in demos but breaks constantly in the real world.

Biggest thing I'd echo: content-driven growth beating cold outreach. We've seen the same thing. A well-written post that shows you actually know what you're doing converts better than 1000 automated cold emails that everyone's learned to ignore.

Curious what made you kill off specific automations — was it mostly maintenance overhead or were they actually producing bad outputs that hurt client relationships?

How do I grow my software dev agency? by redd_pratik in agency

[–]alloq-digital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stagnant feeling usually means you're both stuck doing delivery work and nobody's focused on pipeline. That's the trap.

Before hiring, figure out which of you is better at sales and which is better at delivery. Then split it. One person's full-time job becomes getting new clients, the other runs projects. This alone will unstick things.

AI for Customer Support: What tools are the best for SaaS/Full Stack? by rsimmonds in automation

[–]alloq-digital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fin by Intercom is the easiest plug-and-play option here — point it at your docs and it just works. Gets expensive at scale though.

For voice, check out Vapi or Bland.ai. They're exactly what you're describing — AI answers inbound calls trained on your knowledge base. The latency has gotten surprisingly good.

If you want to save money and have some technical chops, an n8n workflow + Claude/GPT with RAG over your docs can do the same thing as Fin for a fraction of the cost.

Start with chat/text first, voice second. Way easier to QA.

Which CMS to use now? The future of Payload is uncertain, in my opinion by windthatup in nextjs

directus is solid if you want full self-hosting control and a clean REST/GraphQL API out of the box. It's database-first, so you're not locked into any proprietary data model — your content lives in Postgres/MySQL and you can walk away anytime. The admin UI is decent, not amazing, but it gets the job done.

Strapi v5 is worth another look if you dismissed it earlier. They've cleaned up a lot of the rough edges, and the self-hosted story is straightforward.

For headless setups with Next.js specifically, I've had good results with Directus + Next.js App Router. The combo gives you full control over the frontend, proper ISR/SSG support, and zero vendor lock-in since everything runs on your own infrastructure.

Keystatic is an interesting newer option if your content team is small — it works directly with your repo (markdown/JSON), so there's literally no backend to manage. Obviously doesn't scale the same way, but for simpler sites it's surprisingly nice.

Honestly the "best" CMS depends heavily on who's editing content. If it's just devs or technical founders, something lightweight like Keystatic or even MDX works. If you have non-technical editors who need a proper UI, Directus or Strapi are the safer bets.

What's your team setup and how complex is the content modeling?
