WordPress.com Reviews & Product Details

WordPress.com Overview
What is WordPress.com?

Powering more than 43% of all active websites globally, WordPress is arguably the most popular and widely used CMS and website builder used by businesses of all sizes across all industries – from solopreneurs, startups, SMBs, and big Fortune 500 enterprises. Both novice users with no coding knowledge and highly experienced web developers can benefit from WordPress’ long list of features including ready-made yet customizable templates, thousands of easy-to-install add-ons and plugins, built-in and custom-made functionalities, and robust content management features. Highly flexible, WordPress promises its users that they will never outgrow their website built on its ecosystem as it’s easily adaptable as their business needs grow and evolve. WordPress is also downloadable as an app and available to both Android and iOS users enabling marketers and content creators to manage their websites across all devices. WordPress is arguably one of the biggest website builders today. With WordPress, users have the option to use their web host or install WordPress’ own hosting. The latter lets users design and build their blog or online store, and access the Jetpack plugin for improved SEO, as well as security and analytics. Depending on your needs, it’s fairly easy to set up your WordPress site, and maintaining it is even simpler on this platform. You also have the option to install third-party plugins to add more features to your website and boost functionality. WordPress offers a free plan for anyone who wants to try out the service first, but if you want to subscribe, plans start as low as $4 a month for the basic plan.

"Excelente CMS, muy versátil, fácil de usar y altamente personalizable para todo tipo de paginas web"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

Es un CMS de codigo abierto que ofrece muchas posibilidades para la creación y diseño web, además la amplia biblioteca de plugins permite construir practicamente cualquier tipo de página web, usualmente lo utilizo para la creación de tiendas viertuales y su integración con woocommerce es perfecta.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

al ser el CMS más usado es muy vulnerable a ataques de piratas informaticos, pese a que hay constante actualización de su Core, debes estar muy atento/a ya que cuelquier pequeña brecha que pueda tener la página es aprovechada para que la pirateen.

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

Mantienen constantes actualizaciones para que el CMS sea estable con los cambios de php y tambien a nivel de brechas de seguridad que puedan ir detectando, esto permite tener confianza y tranquilidad a la hora de desplegar sitios, eso si tener una buena capa de seguridad siempre es necesario.

One can set up a professional-looking website without deep technical knowledge and for free.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

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

WordPress allows me to create free websites for personal purposes, or projects that do not justify investing money on custom URLs and hosting.

"Today I have a website just because of wordpress"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

Jungle of plugins out there to extend the functionality of the website. And too many themes to choose from.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Some market leaders in no codes website builders are paid, just like elementor and divi and no free plugins have that functionality, so without coding knowledge you lack some features. And with too much plugins website will became slow. You can't build production ready website just in no time, it may take months to years sometime.

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

Helps to create website without coding knowledge.

"The Easy & Perfect Way To Build A Professional Website"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

Wordpress is by far the best option for anyone looking to build a website. Wordpress makes building a site a breeze and very easy to do..... seriotusly if I coul ddo it anyone can! I love all of the templates available via Wordpress as well....with some themes being easier than others to build upon. They have a vast vairiety of features top make your site unique and one of a kind and they also have the best customer service in the evebnt you may need it. It is also the preferred website option for the many brands that I work with. In short... Wordpress is the way to go if you wnat to build a new site. They have a top notch platform that makes running and creating via Wordpress a breeze.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I do hate some of the changes that Wordpress creates when they do upgrades to the back office of wordpress.....as it can take some time for me to get used to the chnages BUT it happens rarely and they do provide support and education to help with any changes that they make....I just never feel I have time to learn something new and am always just trying to get my work done. It is really not a negative to Wordpress.... honestly more for myself. I would not use anythign oethr than Wordpress as it is the best!

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

They have made the process of publishing and SEO much easier as compared to when I started 11 years ago. They have made the process of coding easier too.....when it comes to marking content as sponsored, etc.... and also when making links do follow or no folllow. In the past I had to go into the coding section to make links do follow or no follow myself by adding the needed code to my content..... but now they have streamlined it with the click of a button which makes it much easier for newcomers to website building and designing. They also updte regularly to ensure that my site is running safely and soundly. I would never use any other platform for my website needs and only recommend Wordpress to anyone new.

"Perfect for new bloggers"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

Simple and easy to understand. Does not have too many things happening together, so makes it easy on the eyes.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Less layout options. Can do better. Themes are sometimes rigid and cannot be customised.

"WordPress is a versatile web development platform !"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I like the versatility of WordPress as it can power a wide range of websites from blogs and small businesses sites to e- commerce platforms and large enterprise websites. It's SEO plugins help users improve their website search. Many of it's themes are mobile responsive and function well on various devices. It works seamlessly with various third party services making it versatile for online marketing. The platform also provide accessibility to individuals with disabilities.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Sometimes there is complexity for beginners especially when customizing themes or using advanced features. Here users are responsible for their site’s security, backups and troubleshooting issues which can be a hurdle for non technical users.

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

WordPress eliminates the need for extensive coding skills or hosting knowledge and further allows to focus on online content. With the variety of themes, plugins and support it simplifies the website creation process. It benefits me in offering an easy to use hosted platform for building a professional website.

"Best Tool For Building Websites"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

It is one of the best or i would say the best to build responsive website with great graphics. It has various template which i use which helps me save time and be more focus on my content rather than focusing on designs. Plugins also helps a lot to create dynamics pages, SEO-friendly posts. I personally use elementor plugin for templates and to handle frontend.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

The only drawback i faced is i need a lot of plugins for additional features. Even if is something small i need a plugin for it like drag and drop etc. it is heavly reliance on plugins. which in turns make the website a little slow and plugins takes a lot of memory space.

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

By using it, it definitely saves time and provides variaty of templates which makes it easy to build web design and by using raw math handling SEO is pretty easy. So i can focus more on my content of the website rather than website itself.

"Free to create, WordPress is great for all sizes"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

The freedom and integration aspects. Freedom: Create anything you like and the allowance of custom codes is exactly what any site of any size should covet. Integration: Allows us (and any user) to integrate essentially any product or service we use without any trouble.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

There isn't much, perhaps the auto-kick-out aspect, but that's more user error than anything else. WP is the tops.

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

We've solved our entire business model to start out each property with WordPress. Both from the creation aspect to the execution aspect, WP was seamless in getting our properties off the ground floor.

"Really versatile product with lots of support and add ons!"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

Wordpress is just such a versatile website platform. It's got all the great built in features you need out of the box, and there are so many free themes and plugins that can take your site that extra mile (particularly if you aren't a coder). As one of the biggest website CMS platforms it integratesd with a lot of additional software programs and apps, so it can grow as you do. The forums and support networks for wordpress are endless, so there's always support on hand if you need it.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Can't really think of downsides. Have used Wordpress for years, and would highly recommend it.

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

I've needed a business website that integrates with our existing digital stack of software programs, and also can be easily managed by our team on a daily basis, and Wordpress fills that need. it's easy to manage in the back end, and it's intuitive and easy to update themes and content as you need.
