"Best CMS and Robust Framework for Website Development for Small to Large Ecommerce Businesses"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The most appealing feature of WordPress is its adaptability. It may be customised in any way that a user desires. For example, I use WordPress as both an eCommerce platform and a point-of-sale system for my store. In addition, I maintain a WordPress blog. I can use whatever theme I want because there are hundreds of developers and thousands of plugins and themes available. The largest open source CMS I've ever come across.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

One thing I detest about WordPress is that it lacks its own security feature. It is more vulnerable to hackers since it is open-source. To secure my site, I'll need to invest in a security and firewall plugin. What I despise are security vulnerabilities caused by plugins. Because of the open source plugins, WordPress is frequently attacked.

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

It serves as a POS for my local store, as well as my blog and eCommerce company. I'm saving a lot of money by using WordPress instead of hiring developers or programmers. Whether it's an ecommerce site or a corporate website for lead generation, WordPress reduces the hassle of doing things manually. We can add payments and forms to our webpages with a single click.

Due to the nature of website security, you will need to keep an eye on patching it, not only the WordPress software itself but also the plug-ins and themes.

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

I used to have a question about multi-site hosting, and their support team is very efficient, they helped me to solve the issue quickly.

The free features in wordpress with extensive scope of flexibility is the thing that inclines me towards using wordpress for web development rather than any other available softwares.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Most of the basic functionalities are not integrated within the wordpress, but have to add them with the help of plugin, which makes the site vulnerable for hacking attacks.

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

Using wordpress as CMS to develop websites mainly helps in better SEO functionality. There is a lot of benefit that users can reap from its in-built tags & key word input feature.
