Jelmer Visser, the lead developer at weflycheap, shares insights into his career and the strategic choice to use Strapi for their projects. After studying IT management and computer science, he joined weflycheap, where he leads a team of developers working on travel-related websites like weflycheap.nl and travelstamps.nl. The decision to switch from WordPress to Strapi was driven by the need for a more efficient, customizable, and open-source CMS, particularly after WordPress's limitations became apparent. Despite initial concerns about Strapi's stability, its transition from alpha to beta proved timely, allowing them to implement it successfully. They created a unique sync functionality between WordPress and Strapi, enhancing content management efficiency. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted them to diversify by launching Blue Flamingos, a development and marketing company, which also utilizes Strapi in its projects. Visser emphasizes the importance of contributing to open-source projects like Strapi and hopes to continue supporting its community after his current secondment ends.
