WordPress.org Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

Wordpress made it easy for users to build and customize websites using the website builder and it is absoultely free.

No ecommerce. Unfortunately, you must use 3rd party apps such as Shopify. Can't build WordPress from scratch and there are couple of missing applications that would make Wordpress even better.

Wordpress allows businesses and work to connect with audiences.

Simplicity of the format. You don't necessarily have to know code to use it.

Can't quite figure out how to integrate other platforms

I've managed to link up my social media with our less internet savvy and those who flat refuse to use facebook

WordPress is very well organized from the tabs to the inbox. I am able to train all new employees quite easily.

This dislikes would have to be all the spam responses we are getting verse proper feedback.

The downfall of business problems is slim to none, we are getting great responses from candidates

Prezi takes the concept of traditional slide and PowerPoint presentations and gives them a whole new dimension. With the ability to move and zoom through presentations, it makes it much easier to engage audiences and present your information in an interesting way. I've used this software both for student presentations during my time in college and for professional presentations in the workplace.

My only complaint is that the editing process can be difficult to accomplish on the trackpad of a laptop. A wireless or USB mouse completely fixes this problem, however.

I've used Prezi for student presentations, giving me an edge in class, as well as in my capacity as a tutor, to make lessons more interesting. The flashy interface makes the presentations much more interesting and interactive, which makes it easier to keep the attention of my audience.

I like that with WordPress, I don't have to know any coding. I just imagine what I want my site to look like, and WordPress does it. Yes, there are limitations, but it's a great way to get a site up and running with not much effort.

While WordPress does take care of not having to code, sometimes, the designs that are available can limit how a site looks.

WordPress.org allows me to have a place where clients can enter information about leads and other issues on a centrally located and organized site for little to no money.

Wordpress is super easy to use and customize with a plugin for everything imaginable that you would need on a website.

Plugins allow for expandability but there is still a root structure that is rigid.

Blogging for content marketing purposes

Easy to use and easy to make changes and implement new styles. I'm still learning how to use it. but it's really helpful for new bushiness .

would like to see more support maybe chat help option or remote help or 24 support chat

Options in plug ins

The organization of media that is possible with Wordpress is astounding.

Sometimes it's not as intuitive to locate where you organized data is, but it is well organized when you find it.

Our entire website is based on and around Wordpress, multimedia content and otherwise.

It's extremely versatile and the standard for nearly any website needed when content management is key. Huge amount of support available,

It can be too cumbersome and the amount of plugins and options can be daunting. Likewise although there are so many users, this also causes problems since there can be just as many wrong best practices being used.

I usually use for small to medium sites that need some content management. Have also used for ecommerce.

Thebest thing I like about Wordpress is the ease with which I can create new articles, pages and so many plugins available for almost everything your require to make your website or blog awesome.

Its really hard to answer as I cannot find anything in this CMS which I dont like.

I have a blog for which I am using Wordpress and I use it for my freelance front-end development purpose as well.

WordPress allows you to make really personalized websites. WordPress sites are very functional and they can be very attractive. I've found it easy to find programmers who specialize in WordPress, which is a must if you want to create an effective site.

In my opinion, the early steps of setting up a WordPress site aren't very intuitive. Once a programmer builds the site out a bit, however, I do find WordPress to be a very simple CMS.

We've created countless websites for our clients using WordPress. WordPress sites are easy to customize based on your clients' needs.

Wordpress is great for folks who don't know anything about web design. It's easy to use. Great navigation. The preview mode is great and the visual editor is superb.

Customizing some of the templates can be a challenge and often requires and experienced developer to perform the work.

My firm was able to keep the simple web updates in-house for our clients because of the easy to use content management system.

When Wordpress started off it started as a simple blog system. All it could do is allow you to create a basic HTML site that made it easy to write and post blog posts without the need of knowing HTML, PHP, CSS, MySQL or any other form of website programming languages in order to publish your written work. Since then Wordpress has developed into one of the worlds largest Content Management Systems that can be customized without and with using 3rd party plugins, themes, add ons, as well as customization programming for those more advance in web development for any sort of platform whether personal or professional.

The biggest dislike that anyone has for Wordpress is some cross compatibilty options between plugins, themes and addons, though this is something beyond Wordpress's control as each 3rd party tool used adds a new element to the website's foundation coding.

A common request from clients in need of websites is they want a website with several advance features that usually require 3rd party integration, or customized programming, but they still want to be able to manage the basic content of the webiste. Wordpress is the best system I have used that allows the integration of all the needs and desires of a client, while still giving them the ability to manage their basic content whether it's adding content on a regular basis, updating their pages, or adding basic media.

The ease of this app is so crazy it makes it seem too easy and that is in one word, just incredible! It makes someone like me, who isn't website savvy, a website expert in no time! The instructions of how-to-do simple editing and writing aren't so technical that even a non-code user can understand more clearly and get the concepts down with ease.

There isn't anything I dislike about this! This is the best platform I have ever used in my entire history of blogging!

I am solving the blog problem and realizing there is so much more I can do with this app. There are just Endless possibilities of usage with this platform!!! More power to WordPress.org!

The flexibility for sure. I feel like wordpress can do virtually anything with the right combination of plugins/widgets. I love it, it's followed me through consulting, owning my own business, re-branding, I've helped many other people get started on it as well. The flexibility and versatility cannot be beat, and it's a crazy huge cost saver as well!

Is potential overwhelm at all of the incredible possibility something to dislike? I guess for someone who prefers a small amount of options to choose from this could potentially be a LOT. But they could just stick with the initial "out of the box" functionality and still probably be happy :)

It's been able to fulfill my needs consistently for over a decade. As I grow and change and merge different parts of my career, I have been able to easily and flawlessly adjust or restart as needed and always end up with something I love.

Flexibility and the number of plugins and apps that can be used with it to personalise the website.

Nothing in particular. Being a free platforms the support is not always the best but it is easy to find online resources or hire a web designer

I use wordpress mainly to manage my websites and promote our business

Everything about the customization of WordPress is ideal for my site. The ability to edit the CSS and use preset themes is great, I have been able to really build a great site that does so much more than I ever thought it could, and the best thing is I am at the tip of the iceberg!

The learning curve was pretty tough, but I came from NO experience and was able to make my way through without hiring anyone, so it is not that bad really, there are endless resources if you want to learn how to use it, just take time to! Open source is a common "negative" which I think can be more positive, if you research the developer. I had a nice plugin for a year until the developer gave up on it, and I then researched harder to find a much better one that is regularly updated!

I run a blog with a lot of different features and functions. It runs seamlessly for the end user just like I wanted, and integrates well with many of my social media sites. It required a bit of work initially that ended up saving me a lot of time and money in the long run! Speaking of money, the monetization options are endless with a self hosted WordPress site! WELL WORTH the initial time invested, I highly recommend this platform to anyone looking to build a comprehensive and fully customizable site!

I love the professional look to the different templates.

There is a learning curve which I personally don't mind, but I know others who don't have time for YouTube tutorials might find cumbersome.

Website management, increasing traffic to my site

Free and open source web site and cms software that you can develop advanced websites and applications with. You can easily download wordpress and all sorts of plugins to add functionality needed for most website projects. You can also manage parts of your website that run through wordpress.org such as with their inhouse plugin Jetpack

Lacks a professional support team by the developers and you must utilize third parties that have varied expertise. Limited customization options in the backend by default and compatibility issues can arrise between various plugins. Third party code validation is not there outside of the open source community, not every plugin fully explains if it has a premium or paid component, some plugins are outdated and do not work or are not updated.

Easy to utilize Content Management System (CMS) for Web development and feature research to find plugins. Easy to develop on top of and also free to download and utilize for projects.

I love that WordPress is a fluid solution for both new users and pros. You can get as technical in your coding, or opt for a simple drag and drop instead. Wordpress is very easy to master and to teach to others.

There isn't much that I dislike about Wordpress. Perhaps the fact that some updates cause issues. Updating to new versions always makes me a bit nervous.

The only business problems we often run into are potential hacks. The vast amounts of compatible programs are a major pro.

Easy to get started. Open sources so there are no limitations.

Can get caught up in the modules as there are so many.

use it for the company website.

I can create any kind of website. It's extremely powerful and well organized once you get the hang of it.

Third party plugin creators are a double-edged sword. Updates and weak themes and plugins that constantly threaten your site are a hassle and security breach, and steer most of my clients to Squarespace which is always updated without risk to the user. The learning curve for development and even minimal management is STEEP. Most clients won't bother or quickly become frustrated.

I use Wordpress for my website and for previewing and creating clients' websites. The benefit is the powerful management platform and customization opportunity.

It's really easy to navigate my way through and simple to use. With little background experience, anyone should be able to complete their tasks.

Difficulty in reaching posts from other people.

Reaching a world wide population.

I love wordpress. It is easy to use and is great for beginners who haven't created a website before.

I don't dislike anything about wordpress.

The company I worked for used wordpress as their main website. It was beneficial because it offered a great user experience.

WordPress.org gives me the flexibility to customize my website the way I want it, while also giving me the power of its vast library of plugins and other support.

For those who don't have a web design/development or coding background, it can have a bit of a learning curve.

I've been able to design my own website and customize it to my business's specifications.

Wordpress makes it easy to manage my own website and add the features I need at a budget friendly price.

It's not as user friendly as some other website builders.

We manage our website with wordpress and it allows us to add custom plug ins.

The community is very supportive for developers and non-developers.

The extra bloat that many hosting companies include.

WordPress is capable of running a business website with pretty much any functionality from enterprise applications down to simplistic things.

Easy to modify and add modules to make a website funtional

there are not much I dislike.

Not much issues

Easy to customize and create new websites.

Maintenance is time consuming sometimes, lots of updates.

Delivering content to people. Publicizing events and our calendar.

Ease of use, security, constant updates, customizations

Could be a more robust CMS, theme review is lackluster

website design for clients
