"Wonderful WordPress.org"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I love WordPress.org because it provides users with a blank canvas, if you will, to design, build, and hosts websites that express their own creative visions and allow for the independent execution and management of those websites.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I wouldn't say there is anything I necessarily "don't like" about WordPress.org, however, there are several elements that require constant updates including new versions of WP itself, themes, plugins and extensions, etc.

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

I have used/recommended WordPress.org for websites that my consulting firm design and develop for clients for over 10 years - It is our go-to CMS solution and we try to advise clients that are prone to website builders like Squarespace and Wix.

Since it's the most popular and fastest growing platform we get solutions to problems easily. There are many third-party developers and plugins to extend its functionalities

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Hackers target WorPress because of its large user base. It's tough to impliment hackproof security. And when we install more plugins the platform becomes slow and less stable

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

Custom made websites are difficult to develop and maintain. WordPress has its own backend dashboard to manage the content which makes our customers manage the content on their own.

"Great place to build and customize website."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The most important thing is that people who don't know to code for a website can use WordPress to get an awesome website.

It also provides SEO options.

It's not highly secure and someone can easily hack it. Most of the themes and features of Wordpress are not free.

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

I don't really know how to code for a website but by using WordPress I help in creating webpages that are required from my end.
