Being open source and the most popular CMS, there are tons of free and paid themes and plugins. Though initially started as a blogging platform, there are almost all kind of applications be it ecommerce shop or business directory that can be launched on WordPress today.
Based on PHP programming language, some developers might complain that it is not the best programming language. Indeed there are some specific applications say in advanced scientific fields that are not suitable in PHP and WordPress.
Our two corporate websites one dealing with providing finanical services and other with web development and internet marketing services are on WordPress. Armed with plugins like WooCommerce for shopping capabilities, we are very much satisfied.
An Open Source community consisting of hundreds of millions of users and administrators. WordPress is the premier content management system, worldwide and is more extensible than any other system like it.
A vibrant community of extensions (plugins), support and knowledge base.
WordPress provides a sustainable path to web publishing unlike any other out there, with enterprise features and development from zero cost to low cost.
After a short training, WordPress is an easy-to-use and operate CMS. Whenever you face an issue, you do a quick search, and due to the huge community, you will quickly find a solution for your problem. The implementation was very easy, and we integrated it with our shop system. The number of features and available modules/extensions is perfect and helps us to get a solid and professional shop.
Sometimes, and especially after updates, you need to manually check if everything is still working as expected. Due to the huge number of modules and, in our case, extensions, this is a bit time-consuming and can cause trouble in daily operations.
We build a shop system for one of our clients and operate the shop on a daily basis. Besides the shop functionality, we publish content and articles for the shop community.
Besides the easy implementation and setup, I like that the CMS is clearly the category leader, and therefore, a lot of content and learning material is available.
To get more functionality, you need to work with modules/extensions, which makes it more costly and complex to operate.
Building websites and shops for my companies. As it is easy to use and operate, we don´t need an agency or designer to set up a useful and modern webpage.
My favorite aspect of WordPress.org is its empowerment through choice. It's incredibly easy to use, even for beginners, with a smooth installation process and an intuitive interface. The vast number of features and constant updates ensure I can do anything I dream of, from basic blogs to complex ecommerce sites. Plus, the open-source nature provides unmatched ease of integration with countless plugins and themes, tailoring the platform to my unique needs. Customer support is readily available through the vibrant community forum, where I always find friendly help and inspiration. In essence, WordPress.org isn't just software; it's a powerful platform for building precisely what I envision, with the freedom and support to make it truly my own
As an open-source platform, it relies on users to actively manage security updates and plugin compatibility, which can be overwhelming for beginners. Unlike hosted WordPress versions, there's no official customer support team. However, the vibrant community forum usually provides excellent help.
WordPress.org tackles the biggest problem of all: locking you into a restrictive, one-size-fits-all website builder. It empowers you with unbridled creative control and flexibility to build precisely the website you envision, whether it's a simple blog, a dynamic portfolio, or a bustling online store.
Wordpress.org creates an extensible open-source platform that is easy to set up. They make available a huge selection of free and premium plugins along with great documentation to be able to build anything you need.
The base wordpress.org framework is lightweight and intended to be customized to any need. I appreciate that they do not include a lot of features that aren't necessary but believe they could add more builtin features to login security.
We use multiple WordPress.org instances to meet various needs within our organization. From our public-facing website to various internal processes. Updating and modifying multiple instances with the same base framework is a simple and automatable process.

The solution is a very easy to use CMS for non technical users. Having had a background with Magento, the solution is far more straightforward to run and maintain. I would definately suggest a managed wordpress hosting provider such as Kinsta. Managed hosting handles all of the techincal details so that you can focus on running your business. I very much suggest keeping the number of extensions to a minimum and pickig a light weight theme so that you can achieve a fast loading website. It was easy to implement and we use it daily for managing our site https://softwareoasis.com/ If you need support, be sure that you have installed extensions and themes that include customer support as wordpress.org does not offer support except community support.
Lack of support options directly from WordPress. Overall the solution works well and is updated often.

I really like the customization control and the liberty it gives to me to fine tune my website as per my taste and needs. It opens up endless possibilities about the things that I can do for my business and customers. The plugins it offers has allowed me to rank higher easily on seo, I have integrated chatgpt, CRMs and social media platforms. Moreover the data analytics things make it easy for me to make decision and supervise. I feel it is super friendly for users, the learning curve is steep for all. It literally took me less than 4 hrs to get started. It offers a great control over budget, profitability and more..
For those who are not tech savvy it could be a problem for them to get a hang of wordpress. The platform is not that robust and you might need a tech team for maintenance and all. I have felt some security issues and i have been at target of many hackers. It is not actually free as you need to spend on hosting and other stuff.
