I like the speed and ease of use. I use the dot com version, which is free! Still going strong; lots of people on a budget, including me. I love the ease of sharing posts on my Social Media sites.
There isn't anything to dislike, really. Some may be turned-off by ads; well, somebody's gotta pay for all this free stuff! I'd like to see more ways to monetize this without being annoying.
Doesn't charge me anything for web hosting. As an artist, I must be very mindful of my spending. My salary and benefits are a constant expense. Yes, my business has definitely increased since I set this up in spring of 2014.
WordPress.org is one of the best open-source software. The coding community is very development driven, creating an absolutely user-friendly product guaranteed the best on the market. Plus, getting or finding help is never a problem with such a wide user base.
It could be more innovative. Grown to the size they are nowadays, some development decisions are taking a bit longer which makes it feels like they are trying to keep up with the competition.
Creating websites for our clients as a web design agency, user-friendly website updates (again for our clients) keeping their website easily up to date.
Gosto da versatilidade que o Wordpress.org nos fornece, praticamente qualquer funcionalidade que eu quero, instalo um plugin e resolveu. Obviamente que não é só isso, posso inserir scripts de códigos para ir além das funcionalidades de um plugin Também é ótimo para praticamente qualquer tipo de site: institucional, blog, landing pages, sites dinâmicos, ecommerces, e assim por diante!
Talvez eu diria o suporte do Wordpress, creio que hoje seja via fórum, então isso acaba meio que limitando o acesso ao suporte
Liberdade de design, versatilidade de funcionalidades (plugins), capacidade de criação de qualquer tipo de site e solução para meus clientes
WordPress has the functionality to meet whatever needs of the user – everything is customizable. It's a secure platform with so many integrations to go along with it.
Sometimes WordPress is complex, even as a marketer, so there is definitely a learning curve on a few things.
Custom websites for a variety of clients, one place to organize content, collecting information, event sign ups. Creating a solid online presence.
It is excellent, accessible and does not require code knowledge, but you can still use code whenever you want. It has perfect payment templates and is also free, as well as the plugins; there are free and paid, and for anything you want to do. It downloads very quickly, and it adapts to any hosting you use.
I have nothing wrong to say about this software; it seems perfect to me. However, even though it is straightforward, you have to learn to use it very well and invest in plugins or know some code so that the level of the website that you create looks professional.
I wanted to make my website for my small business; I bought hosting and the domain and decided to manage with wordpress.com. My problem is that I was just starting and didn't have the basic knowledge to get started with this CMS. My website didn't look very professional, so I took a step back and am now using wordpress.com, but my goal is to go back to wordpress.org as it seemed like the best CMS I could find.
Wordpress has tutorials all over YouTube to help you solve any issue you face. If you have the time anyone can use word press
I dislike that it does not allow much room for customisation or at least that option is not available openly
Gives us business leads and gives a presence on the web. It gives a digital place for our organisation.
WordPress gives you freedom. Do whatever you want, however you want, they don't care. As is the case with any open-source software, there is lot of freedom in terms of use case and purposes. Besides WordPress is extremely customizable and modifable based on your use cases. As a programmer, I am able to edit the very core level files with ease. There is no penalty or ban for editing files. Infact it is encouraged to modify things. Apart from that, it is meant to keep everyone happy. So, many no-code solutions exist to keep everyone happy. WordPress boasts one of the most versatile page builders called Elementor, love it. There highly engaging and helpful online-community remains unbeatable.
The best and the worst feature of WordPress is its open-source nature. Being open makes it highly flexible. But that also means its extremely vulnerable. Theres a huge market of poorly coded plugins and malicious code that can literally break entire site in few lines. Outdated plugins and incompatability with certain PHP versions are again a known issue for them.
WordPress allows me to scale up by business and create quality blog without having the hassle of coding and maintaining everything. Sure, I can write my own code and create custom solutions wherever necessary, but WordPress ensures that I am never reinventing the wheel. The off-the-shelf plugins and tools in WordPress are good enough for majority of the use cases of an average user.
The freedom which WordPress provides is what I love about this. I began my journey on Google's blogspot. I had to be content with the limited amount of customization that it allows. WordPress.org however was a fresh breath of air as it offers us the source code to make as many modifications to our blog as we please
Things might get a bit technical easily but there's a huge community ready to help. This didn't really apply to me as I was a software engineer by heart and loved to debug my problems but I did have some clients who had a hard time manuvering around the code. The self-hosted WP might be a bit too much for them.
I am a tech enthusiast and love to write about the latest gadgets, tips and tricks to make it easier for non-tech savvy people to use their gadgets/software to the maximum potential. Having a self-hosted blog sure lays out a good foundation/reassurance to my readers that the author himself is well versed in tech and can navigate problems on his own.
I love the plug and play nature of the Wordpress builder. I have coding experience from college, and Word Press allows me to do powerful building with a simple press of a button.
Sometimes integrating can be a pain. There are a variety of ways other groups integrate with Word Press, and sometimes what I can do in the program outside of Wordpress won't work inside.
We needed a website and we did not have a budget to pay someone to build it. So we were able to build quickly and easily with the Wordpress themes. They were a life saver!
WordPress, both the platform and standalone, have remained a staple for bloggers, businesses and e-commerce websites for well over a decade. They constantly update to ensure the latest security measures, and have thousands of ready to go themes, so there's something for everyone.
While thousands of themes are available, it can be challenging to find one that works as intended. Because of all the constant updates, a new theme today could have errors with the next update in a matter of weeks.
It usually allows me to get a website or new project up and running quickly with little to no issues. I can create a blog, standard 5-page website, or a full blown e-commerce website in a matter of hours or days. There's a plugin for nearly everything you would need.
WordPress is what we make our websites with, and it's super easy to integrate different plug-ins and checking my analytics is super easy. Love it. It's amazing.
I don't have many issues except that sometimes websites crash from too much data. Sometimes need to recreate images so they fit into website pages.
Wordpress is helping us create websites and build social media. We are often building interfaces and don't worry about managing servers and tech issues.
It's simple to use. A lot of instructions are available. A lof of plugins in one place. I use it for my own website. I have no prior web dev experience but I am able to build a website.
Not as easy to deploy the website/host on AWS in one click. That would be great if available. The price for plugins and tools is sometimes too high for me. Needs more big bundles of plugins.
I am able to have a website to gather all information about my personal project in one place. Also, it's easy to connect with people, to communicate (additional payments for emails etc).
Easy and affordable tool to manage your website content. Simple and userfriendly UI for administrators to create and maintain websites for businesses.
Some plugins and features are not of the best use or could be improved to enhance features.
It has helped keep our intranet up-to-date and easily manageable. It has saved a lot of my time when developing a website. Lot many resources are available to learn wordpress which has been a big help when I was a novice in the industry.
WordPress is so easy to use and safe for hosting your website. It is cheaper than other platforms. WordPress is so easy to use and secure for hosting your website.
I can make my website and manage it easily. so I don't have any problem with it.
WordPress is easy to use, and I can manage my website and design it according to me.
The fact that it is easy to use and set up and literally ZERO coding is required to set it up, unlike other platforms. In, addition to this is the fact that it integrates with literally everything making it more convenient for me and also making my websites act as omnichannel websites and I don't necessarily need to go to multiple places as I already have everything within my WordPress site. The WordPress dashboard to me is still by far the most UI/UX friendly website dashboard I ever used. Amazing tool and a must-have.
Nothing, I absolutely love WordPress! The best website builder tool ever!
WordPress is solving the problem of website creation and management by providing a user-friendly, customizable, accessible, and secure platform with a strong community of support.
