"WordPress Great Solution For Business"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Many people think WordPress is just a simple drag-and-drop solution. It isn't. But I really like that if you have some web background, you can really do a lot by yourself or even more with a web developer. It is frequently updated and I have never had it "break" any of my sites.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I wish I had more time to really learn all of the things I can do with WordPress. I tend to go in and get what I need done, but I feel like I am just not aware of things that I could do and use to make it even better. I wouldn't mind if there were better support options -- a person you can schedule a meeting with or call.

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

The problem was to create an eCommerce site that could be updated easily and work fast. With all the emphasis Google places on site speed, having a quick but robust site is a must and you can do that with WordPress.

I run an affiliate website through WordPress.org and it is the best website builder I have used, it is very straightforward and easy to use once you learn how to use it. It is much easier to use than Wix, or Godaddy in my opinion.

"Excellent Levels"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like that there are different levels you can utilize for creating a website based on your level of prior experience and skill. This has been really helpful for me as I have created a website and gotten more skilled as I went along. I also like the amount of pre-made templates you can select from to customize your own colors and graphics.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is not really anything I dislike about Word Press.

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

The most recent problem I solved with WordPress was creating a website for my sole proprietorship business. I went through BlueHost, and the process was spectactular. For someone who does not create websites regularly, it was very doable.

"Best website platform I've used"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress allows you to install and use a robust website on any hosting service that supports it. This allows you to make sure you only pay for what you need in terms of hosting services. Endless number of themes and plugins speed your website design - or migration to a new theme. Plugins allow you to customize, optimize and manage your site to get the right traffic to your site. It also makes SEO a snap. And to top it off, plenty of documentation and walk-throughs out there.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Because there are so many options, sometimes it takes time to find the right theme or plugin. Plugins are not controlled as they are on WordPress.com, so there are more opportunities for vulnerabilities if you use the wrong one. Also, currently, there is no way to tell if your plugins conflict with one another until something goes wrong. I wish there was an easier click path to create posts. Currently in my set up, I have to click on multiple tools and WYSIWYG editors to get a post live.

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

Website functionality, design and optimization. With WordPress, we have opened up for ecommerce, shown higher on search results, better service our customers, and provide a better user experience for website visitors. In addition, we integrated calendar bookings and more.

"WordPress is the way to build websites"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Open Source, plenty of free plugins and themes. Saves me from having to code everything by hand.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Open Source and wide use means it is a ripe target for malware and other vulnerabilities,

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

Our whole business is focused on WordPress sites, hosting, and maintenance services. Some of the problems are their improvements don't always align with what I would like to see, constant updates can be an issue for older sites. Benefits - I mean, it is how I make a living, so that's a huge benefit. The WordPress community is huge, and locally, we have a great group of WordPress professionals who lean on each other for knowledge and experience.

"Best CMS out there to date"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

We as a business sign into a lot of CMS solutions and install our widget-based technology. Wordpress has everything, the complexity required by advanced web developers and the simplicity for non web developers to use it too.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The worst thing about WordPress is the fact that some people have had bad WP experiences due to a poor build. Some WP sites are built like Teslas (the car), others like clapped out old bangers which hardly move.

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

Building sites and doing installations on client sites. We sign into about 20 WP sites per day, other CMS' less so, but still, enough to draw a point of comparison.
