"There is No CMS Greater Than WordPress.org"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Love the intuitive nature of the word processing and content publishing.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I'm not the biggest fan of the micro-updates that happen constantly. Plugins are constantly having to keep up, so they break often. Unless, it's a security feature, I wish updates were released in bulk. That said, I do like the new dashboard intro videos that come with major releases.

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

Creating marketing sites for lead gen that are fully customizable and limitless.

"Best Platform For Most Websites"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is the best platform to build websites without any code. I've tried out almost all of the popular platforms but WordPress has by far been the best at everything. The huge community and the millions of plugins and integrations available for WordPress make it a solution that can be used for building any specific use case that you can imagine. You think about it and there's a way to do it in wordpress. You can't say that for other platforms though. Some have their strengths in niches like Shopify and webflow. But WordPress is by far the most robust and versatile for all kinds of websites.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The fact that WordPress was built as a blogging platform and to this date, the blogging feel has not left it. Apart from that wordpress is built using PHP and it is not the best language for modern solutions in my opinion. Once you get into hardcore stuff you start seeing the limitations wordpress has because of it being built with PHP. These things would have been fixed easily if it were on something like Javascript.

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

I have built all kinds of websites with WordPress, from blogs to landing pages to course membership sites and even high-end eCommerce websites. WordPress has been my go-to tool for more than 6 years now. There has been almost no use case that I could not implement with WordPress. It is a fantastic platform and is also open source. I would suggest anyone entering the web development world to give WordPress a try.

"A CMS for the every day person"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is a great CMS to use. The gallery of plugins that are available is unlike any other CMS out there and it is the easiest to use. I work for a web agency and I have experienced, Kentico, SiteFinity, Umbraco, Django, Shopify, NopCommerce. And some how Wordpress just gets it right and far out paces the competition with the vast number of plugins that are one click installs and easy page management and page builders.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Security. biggest problem with wordpress is that because it is so popular, security is a big concern. They do keep it updated often enough but you do have to add some security plugins to prevent your site from easily being accessed by hackers and bots.

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

Agency I work for often sold NopCommerce as their ecommerce solution of choice for high end clients and Shopify for low end clients. But after introducing management to woocommerces for wordpress, it is a great alternative that covers everyone. It is easily customized like NopCommerce, and cheaper than Shopify. It is also a great page manager for basic brochure sites and blog managing.

"Highly efficient and satisfactory result for a CMS!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The design, features and navigation to learn everything is top-notch. I loved every part of developing my first eCommerce site. I used a bunch of plugins and it is still working superbly! I wanted a good SEO ranking for my online shop, so I started adding SEO pages/blogs and it still works great!

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I can’t find anything that I dislike so far. I will update once I find something. But I am a novice when it comes to website development so can’t say for sure if I can detect anything wrong.

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

I built and regularly updated/maintained my small eCommerce website for almost a year now. I am constantly adding new products and optimizing their UI/UX to give the best shopping experience to my customers. WordPress’s vast collection of features and data is very useful for me as I don’t have to spend on unnecessary plugins and themes.

I also have a WordPress Blog. I can use any theme I need, There is thousands of developer out there with thousands of plugins and themes. The biggest open source CMS that I ever found.

I dislike one thing that WordPress doesn't have its own security tool built it. As it is open-source, It is more vulnerable to hackers. I need to purchase a security and firewall plugin to protect my site.

I am using it for my blog, eCommerce business, and as a POS for my local store. I am saving so much money using WordPress with no need for developers/programmers.

The best thing about WordPress is that it is open-source yet powerful. Today WordPress has millions of plugins available for each and everything. We can do anything without any coding.

No one can find a single problem in WordPress because it is open source, before a problem can cause a major problem, it is being sorted out by the open-source community.

"WordPress breathes life into my websites"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like everything. Without WordPress, I doubt we would be running successful websites online. It provides me with total control over my websites. It gives me access to a large number of extensions, add-ons, and plugins that I use to customize my websites. This CMS is also one of the best to rank well on search engines, through employed SEO tactics. It is an excellent choice for building a commercial website, a personal website, or even migrating from a less capable CMS. I also recommend it to developing businesses who desire more online visibility and control over their website's hosting and speed.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Security flaws - The issue is partly due to WordPress's widespread use and popularity, as well as the fact that it is open-source. Anyone can read and download the source code. This is not meant to be disparaging of open-source initiatives. I'm a big fan of open-source software, and I applaud WordPress for being open-source, but it makes detecting flaws a breeze. However, keep in mind that WordPress powers more than half of the websites online. This shouldn't be a reason to select another CMS over WordPress.

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

WordPress is one of the greatest and most user-friendly content management systems available. It's simple enough for new users to pick up, yet powerful enough for expert users to get the most out of a CMS if they need it. It's my go-to platform for building websites, and there are plenty of developers, themes, and plugins to help you get things done. This platform is unrivaled in terms of capability, independence, and quickness when compared to other platforms. It answers the problem of being able to create a high-quality website at a low cost and with a lot of features.

"Its practical, simple and amazing CMS for website development."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress.org is free and lots of subject-related themes are available one the best part is that we can inbuild plugins to make WordPress development easy and useful. we can build or design a simple blogging website for a high-end e-commerce website. Installation is easy and the admin dashboard is also handy to manage all web content.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Its plugin marketplace has multiple plugins for the same type of activity, which should not be there, and apart from that wordpress.org has some dependency on programming for better development of the website.

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

we can develop a website within a couple of days or the same days without knowing prior coding knowledge. 'Elementor' like plugin makes designing part very much easy and amazing. Now I can manage my website content very easily through wordpress.org.

It is a free and open-source CMS solution. Without coding experience and much technical knowledge, anyone can make a website. WordPress provides free plugins and themes also. They also help to build a website quickly and easily.

If you want to build a large scale enterprise level web application WordPress is not suitable for this purpose. Another thing is sometimes WordPress designers need full customize their environment Developers need good programming and knowledge and technical background.
