I'm exploring options to replace our current web CMS, which is WordPress, and I'm hoping to find a consultant who specializes in this area. It's important that this person has knowledge of various platforms and can help steer us toward the best solution that fits our specific needs. I want to avoid working with design firms that might push the platforms they usually work with. Does anyone have experience with finding independent consultants for this kind of work? Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You're spot on about many consulting firms steering clients towards platforms they have more experience with. It might help if you could share some more details about what you're hoping to achieve with the new CMS. I recently went through a similar transition and moved from a CMS to a more tailored web framework that required some custom development. The specific needs really dictate what platform is best, so more context could help others chime in with relevant suggestions.
Thanks for the insight! Right now, we're on a tight budget and would prefer not to develop anything that's too custom or requires heavy maintenance. We're also looking for something that can integrate with Salesforce, as security is a huge priority for us. We haven't conducted a full needs analysis yet, but that's where we're starting from.
