"WordPress.Org is a powerhouse easy-to-use and valuable platform for content creators"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The simplicity of a WYSIWYG interface paired with the huge number of options within the world of WordPress.org plugins makes for a platform I can't imagine moving from ever.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The setup process initially could be a little better and there could also be some helpful tools to sort out curation of what really matters without the ad platform that WordPress has, which gets in the way.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

Giving us a platform that is easy for non-technical folks to add content and edit it without needing to bring in developers to solve problems. The ease with which those same people can add new features through plugins is a model every major platform should use because it's relatively painless.

"create unlimited free website on WordPress"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The basic version of WordPress is easy to use for a lifetime and maintain, to manage website content and post, create simple custom designs. Additional of editors or third party code to be added. it proves to be the best platform for SEO.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress isn't built for high-performance, and adding plugins can slow things down even more. After a WordPress or theme upgrade, you can spend a lot of time trying to change the site to fit the way the plugin works or trying to change the plugin to fit the way the site works. Can keywords and metadata are not the only components search engine spiders check for relevance. Another very important thing they look for is good webpage design.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

This is the most important point, it is easy for some attackers to hack our website and log in to the website page. Because its website uses 3rd party plugin, its security should be managed without any plugin.

"Customizable and Versatile"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Its customizable and very much scalable. I was able to mould it to meet the needs of my highly specific use cases. The wide array of 1st party and 3rd party plugins, themes, make it an ideal tool.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Its not exactly beginner friendly. I mean sure plenty of beginners use it, but it has poor customer support, relatively weak guidance, and the poor 3rd party integrations and plugin conflicts are hard to resolve. Overall, I feel like it has a really large learning curve.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using WordPress to build my very own social media platform. Using WordPress I can always focus on building features, designing tools, and not worry about fundamental security issues, basic design, compatibility, performance management, and more.

"Our CMS of choice is always WordPress"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress continues to offer us the design options we need. There are literally thousands of theme options. We love the ability to customize and integrate other useful plugins and programs is a plus for us. We find the admin panel to be intuitive and easy to use. We have customized our theme inhouse and this continues to be one of the key reasons why we use and recommend WordPress. Because of WordPress's reach, there are tons of useful tutorials and tips available on the web if you do need assistance. The Woocommerce plugin also means that we can incorporate a sales platform into our site. WordPress has a number of safety and security features as well, which we definitely need. We are currently building a new brand and website using WordPress and it's cool to see how our design and formatting skills have improved with each site build.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

It does require a learning curve, but it's worth it. You will need to spend some time to understand theme basics and plugin selection. Once you master the admin basics, you are on your way to being able to customize a site to fit your company's needs. Plugins will need to be updated and it is easy to bog your site down with additional plugins if you are not careful. It would be great if WordPress incorporated more features out of the box, alleviating the need to search and install additional plugins. Plugins can load down the site pretty easily and not all plugin makers are concerned about page speed. The advantage of having thousands of themes available is that you can find a theme that has most of what you want, right out of the box. On the flip side, this can be a little overwhelming for novices. It's best to spend some time looking at demos to make sure you have the functionality that you need.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

WordPress helps us to manage our blog and organic marketing efforts successfully. We are able to build a customized web experience and incorporate powerful SEO tools as well. This has enabled us to become the market leaders in our area and opens the doors for future growth. Woocommerce is a robust selling platform and having it already integrated into the platform makes it easy to start and open a shop.

"My Review for WordPress After Using it from 3 Years"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

There are many things I like about WordPress. The best thing is it offers you ease with customizations, designs, and layout. Whether you have to install a pop-up on your site or else integrate with an email marketing platform, you just need to install plugins to do all these works. There is no need to write code. WordPress makes everything easy for you.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Well, WordPress keeps updating and bringing major changes to its editor. Some changes are good and I personally like it. But some changes, I don't find good to be applied. In fact, some changes do not make sense.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

My website is operated with WordPress. It helps me manage my website, publish content, and integrate with other platforms easily. My hosting, themes, and other essential tools all are integrated with WordPress. In the absence of WordPress, I would not have succeeded in my Blogging and Content Marketing journey.
