Trust, support, and stability: the real (and often hidden) value of choosing the right partner

If you’ve ever managed a website, you know it’s about more than just picking the right software. You need to trust that your platform won’t vanish overnight, that your content is safe, and that when you hit a snag, there’s someone who can help.

Trust, support, and stability: the real (and often hidden) value of choosing the right partner

That’s why I love #Plone. It’s not just open-source code—it’s a system backed by real people, shared knowledge, and long-term stability. And that makes your job a whole lot easier.

A platform that grows with you

Plone has been around for over two decades, evolving with the web while staying rock solid.

Of course, websites need redesigns and upgrades—that’s part of staying relevant. But with Plone, those changes happen on your terms, not because your CMS suddenly stops working or locks you into an expensive license.

Picking something that is built to last, means that you can focus on your content instead of worrying about what software updates might be on the horizon.

The right people in your corner

A good CMS is important, but having the right support is what really makes a difference. That’s where a trusted solutions partner (like Juizi) comes in: someone who takes the time to know your organisation, understands your needs, and helps you make the most of your website.

And the best part? Our already powerful team isn't in it alone. Behind us is the #Plone community - a global network of experts, contributors, and developers who work together to keep Plone strong.

I’ve seen first-hand how valuable our long-term client relationships are. For them, having a partner who knows their history means fewer disruptions, better decisions, and a website that can evolve with their organisation.

Reliable, secure, and always improving

You need a platform you can count on—one that’s stable but not stuck in the past. Plone is built with security and reliability at its core, but it doesn’t stop there. It keeps moving forward, adding new features, improving performance, and staying ahead of security risks. That means you get a future-proof website without unexpected disruptions.

Why this matters now

Next month is World Plone Day, a global event where organisations share how Plone helps them succeed. It’s a reminder that open source isn’t just about software. It’s about people like you, working with a system that supports your goals.

So, if you’re thinking about your website’s future, ask yourself this: do you just want a CMS, or do you want a platform—and a community—that grows with you?
