Anyone have a WP site that makes heavy use of ACF, they’d be willing to share? #WordPress #CraftCMS

@brandon the challenge it's not ACF itself, the challenge for the switch to #craftcms is most likely ...

@brandon Agencies and freelancers could be convinced, they maybe rely on a more professional approach like https://roots.io/sage/ already. Which is more like CraftCMS.

But the cost to switch is building a new base theme for them and getting confident in deploying and running craft + getting confident / choosing the best plugins. Just one example: Selecting a forms plugins - since this is crucial.

The pathway could be improved for making the switch? Currently it's a lot of work to start? 2/

@brandon There is also a potential blocker for hobbyist since they like the open source model for pet projects or clients with tiny budgets. So craft is no option for them currently.

They start by using 1-click WP installers in their webhosters dashboard - and start their project from there. And pay like 2-7€/month for unlimited WP sites. Not the target group of craft currently - but these are people how could form a wider community? Maybe 🤷 3/

@brandon I personally had a hard time with this as well - since I invest a lot of my personal time into demos & learning resources 👉 doing this for an open source community just feels "more justified" / better. 🤷

But I know this discussion from #KirbyCMS as well - it is required for financial sustainibility.

Wish there would be some middleground, because people motivated by the idea of "open source (communities)" will not easily switch to Kirby, Craft, etc. because of that 4/4
