Hi Jeff, the obvious first step would be for WordPress fanboys and girls to STOP recommending WordPress to everyone, especially to small business owners who don't have the time, knowledge or patience to proficiently build and maintain something as critical as a business WordPress website. And definitely STOP misrepresenting WordPress as being "easy" for regular folks to properly learn and use.

For example, someone who runs a small river rafting company isn't typically going to be able to properly build and maintain a WordPress site, at least not without a ton of help from a WordPress pro. They likely wear too many hats already.

Web pros who market their services to entrepreneurs and small businesses - and truly want the best solutions for their clients - should do a better job keeping up with non-WordPress options. Hope this info is helpful!
