"We owe a lot to WordPress"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I have been using WordPress for about 13 years, and the core functionalities are still there, allowing a beginner on an expert to create his own website, blog, community with ease. On top of that, the thousands plugins (free or paid) make your website complete. As written in the title, I owe a lot to WordPress and especially to the active community that constanly updates the platform.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

This I disliked in the past are not current, for example there were some periods that WordPress had numerous database tables that did not allow you to freely play with the tables. In any case, this is the past and things are way much better now.

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

Website development, blogs, quick communities. Wordpress allow you to build your own powerful website without the need of code knowledge.

"Super Easy to Use Web Site Creation Tool"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Easy already given templates- no coding/ developer needed so it will save you a lot of time and money! Great layouts to give your company a ready to use website-very user friendly and very easy to use as an admin. They also have many plugins and ways to make your blog/website look more unique and exciting.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Websites can look basic and not as attention-catching without plugins. It is a basic level website so it can look this way.

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

You can create a website for a company in seconds. You will just need to design the layout from already coded layouts. If you don't have a website in this day and age, then your business will suffer and people will not trust your business as much or even know about it entirely. If you don't have the money or resources to create your own website on your own this is the perfect tool to use!

"WordPress application review"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like how it is very customizable. Once you get used to the layout of the website. As for the app, it's fantastic! I found it really intuitive, loads quickly and is easy to use.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The app is quite large. A high capacity phone is a must to get the best experience.

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

I have started my own blog and it has surprisingly taken off! If I can get a larger following, it could even solve another problem and make me more money but one step at a time right?

"WordPress.org is easy and simple to create web pages."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I can create web pages with a very professional look, each tool must be studied previously to be able to do a good job. We don't need to worry about style or originality in every project because WordPress.org guarantees creativity. Websites can be shared internally and externally.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I couldn't configure it by myself, I had to communicate with the support, it took a while but I could solve the error. Saving finished projects can be a bit confusing.

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

We work with WordPress.org to save costs on projects that need a lot of investment, we have not had any problems with any client, they are always happy with the websites we make for them. We have everything with WordPress.org working perfectly.

"Best, Most User Friendly CMS"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress's layout just makes sense. As an SEO Specialist, I'm in the back ends of my clients' sites a lot and WP is by far the best in terms of layout, usability, and functionality. I specifically like how responsive and easy it is to add/edit content. I also like that all tools are neatly organized and in one place. Lastly, WP supports all of the plugins I've ever wanted to integrate into sites.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The Gutenberg update took a little getting used to, and I don't like certain things about it but overall makes sense and is user friendly enough.

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

It is the easiest and most organized way to manage all of your site's content. I have clients who have switched to WP from other CMSs and the ease of adding pages/editing existing ones is evident. It also is much more user-friendly, so the clients themselves can go in and add pages on their own time.

"WordPress works great the Victor Farmington Library"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

We are using a WordPress template which limits what functionality we can take advantage of (for example I can't download plugins) but makes updating our website super speedy. It also provides for a uniform web presence for all 42 of the libraries in our library system. I've used WP in the past without the template and loved it then. I still love it. The template just makes it even faster and easier to update our website. Having the ability to add a landing page is really going to come in handy in the future. I also like the ability to make changes using html if that's the only way I can see to accomplish something.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress is meeting our needs. I don't have any complaints.

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

We're communicating with our audience in a timely way, accepting donations, and sharing our program calendar. I recently enabled Google Analytics, and the data it's providing is awesome.

What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like the features that are offered and also the possibilities of what you can do with it. The plugins give you a variety of options and you can empower your website in so many ways.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

For beginners the layout and all the menu options can be overwhelming, but it is only a matter of time and they will get used to it.

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

Some of my clients did not have a website and Wordpress have allowed them to build a very good website and consequently they were able to drive more traffic to it and get more customers visiting their stores.

"Free Open-Source Content Management System"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Without touching code we can easily develop a website on WordPress. WordPress provides an easy to use intuitive interface from which we can easily add new posts, pages, and images. The best thing about WordPress that I like is it is very secured since it releases a new version frequently by fixing the bugs as well as adding new features.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

To add new features we need to install a lot of plugins but installing plugins increase the loading time and makes the website slow. I need to frequently login to the WordPress dashboard to see if themes and plugins installed on my website need to be updated. WordPress core software is very secured but there is a high risk of vulnerability in third-party themes & plugins. I might lose content if I update the WordPress version without installing a backup plugin.

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

I have started my blogging journey with Google's Blogger tool where I was limited to few features. I tried different ways to remove the date from the post's permalink in Blogger but I couldn't do it. WordPress solved my problems by providing permalink settings where I can structure permalink in different ways. With WordPress, I can customize my website and make changes easily. WordPress provides a lot of customization features as well as I can modify the WordPress admin dashboard adding my own custom features too.

"WordPress empowers anyone to make a professional website."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

It allows someone with little experience to take advantage of adequate tools to make a brochure website. It also allows developers to create advanced websites by using many tools that can save a lot of time for them. There some interesting developments that help you adjust website creation to your specific needs. For example, you could use page builders like Elementor or Beaver Builder, to make a beautiful brochure website; or you could use Advanced Custom Fields and Advanced Forms to develop more advanced websites.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Some plugins are not to be trusted. The solution is making sure to select the right plugins and the smallest amount of plugins possible. There are some things to be taken care of even before starting, like choosing the right web hosting, or it can be insecure or become slow.

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

We have several brochure websites, used to promote services with publicity. We are also running our ESL institute absolutely online.

"CMS to create any type of website in a short time"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is without a doubt the best CMS I have used to create websites quickly and effectively. It is relatively easy to use, however over the years its interface and functionalities have changed and it has become a bit more complex to use. One of its greatest advantages is that we can download it completely free from its official site and we can use it without restrictions. It is surprisingly easy to install, you just have to follow very few steps and in a matter of minutes we would have a system ready to start creating a blog or any website. I have been using Wordpress for more than five years and it is still my favorite CMS. It has thousands of plugins that we can add to our site improving different functionalities, it also has many free themes with great designs that adapt to any type of business. On the other hand, we can also buy plugins and themes and in this way we can greatly improve the operation and visual aspect of our website. Wordpress is constantly updated and for this reason it always brings improvements in security, design interface and other functionalities.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Sometimes we need to edit your own code to be able to make specific modifications within an installed theme, and this is a bit complex because its source code is not easy to understand, especially if you do not have programming experience. On the other hand, it is one of the CMS that constantly suffers more hacker attacks

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

In all my years of experience with Wordpress I have been able to develop from small blogs and simple websites, to complex websites with complex functionalities. We can also create online stores if we install the Woocomerce plugin. I love using Wordpress for my projects because it saves me a lot of work time
