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.

"Solid host for our church website."
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

WordPress is user friendly and so widely used that I am able to find templates and plug ins for any customization we might need.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I really am happy with WordPress. There is very little room for improvement. The only buggy thing I have noticed is that some things look a little different from different browsers. So if you have any issues, maybe try a different browser to see if it is easier to use.

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

Adapting to more online traffic in the Covid-19 situation has been so much easier with WordPress! Easy updates to our pages have cut down work time, and I love that I can make quick fixes even from mobile.

"I use Wordpress every day, and I am still impressed by it."
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I love that Wordpress lets you create pretty much anything you desire. I love that you can customize everything down to the spacing, padding, and line heights as well as add custom CSS for even more customization. I use the Bridge theme and I love it!

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

I wish for two main things: 1. That when I drag elements around on the backend of a site that they would stick instead of bouncing a hundred times! 2. I wish that I could create rows in 7ths or 8ths.

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

Wordpress gives me an easy platform to build and develop websites. As a web designer and developer who is just starting out, I am so thankful to have it!
