"Best platform for a beginner and experience candidate"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The efficient and predefined features as well as customisable access makes it a domain usable for a firm or a candidate with no matter what their experience. The plugin and the website extension make it only limited by the users imagination on what they can do. The system is well modelled over the years of upgrade.

The system runs on older versions. The updation should integrate more features.

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

"WordPress is the most popular Web development platform"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Since it's the most popular and fastest growing platform we get solutions to problems easily. There are many third-party developers and plugins to extend its functionalities

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Hackers target WorPress because of its large user base. It's tough to impliment hackproof security. And when we install more plugins the platform becomes slow and less stable

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

Custom made websites are difficult to develop and maintain. WordPress has its own backend dashboard to manage the content which makes our customers manage the content on their own.
