AUSTIN, Texas\u2014MAY 21, 2025<\/strong>\u2014 WP Engine<\/a>, a global web enablement company providing premium products and solutions for websites built on WordPress[1], today announced the release of a comprehensive new research report: \u201cThe Total Cost of Your Company Website: A Data-Driven Guide for Digital Leaders.<\/a><\/em>\u201d Based on a survey of more than 1,700 digital decision-makers across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, the report reveals that businesses using WordPress experience up to 44% cost savings compared to those relying on proprietary CMS platforms.<\/p>\n

The research arrives at a pivotal time as 68% of businesses plan to increase their CMS budgets in 2025, reflecting the growing strategic importance of their digital presence. In addition, the findings also reveal that organizations are facing longer CMS evaluation cycles, tighter budgets, and increased pressure to prove ROI and reduce long-term costs. As companies navigate these challenges, the true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), including infrastructure, development, licensing, security, and scalability, is entering a new era of scrutiny and strategic prioritization. The WP Engine survey reveals how decision-makers can align their digital platforms with organizational goals while minimizing cost burdens and maximizing ROI.<\/p>\n
