"Amazing CMS!!!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

First thing I love about this is it is FREE. It is easy to use and I have been using this CMS for the last 10 years. This is very powerful CMS with support for custom themes and plug-ins. Most of the plug-ins and themes are free and if you want more features you can buy premium versions. This required minimum training and most of the contributors to our website used it with an ease. If your team has a technical guy with some knowledge in installing the this CMS, it will save money for you. It is easy to learn the administration and installation of this CMS.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

This is a wonderful product, my only complaint about this product is when we use plug-ins with the CMS, it may slow down your website. If there is a mechanism to solve this issue, this would be a very good product.

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

We have been using this CMS for the last ten years to publish archaeology.lk website. It has helped us to save lots of money and time.

"Useful blogging platform"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Freedom of plugins and themes that are available to make my blog look pretty and functional. There is a lot of information to self- learn how to use

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Plugins are sometimes not updated but not removed. I think WordPress should remove outdated plugins that don't work with them

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

Hosted blogging platforms have many rules. Wordpress.org is self-hosted so there's many things I can do like run ads in the blog page

"WordPress Website Capabilities"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

We love using wordpress to host our website and use as an editing platform. I have worked with other platforms like GoDaddy and Wix and none provide ease of use like WordPress.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Sometimes edits have to be redone if they don't save properly. That can be annoying but isn't the worst issue to have when working on the backend of a website.

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

WordPress allows us to have a great website with ease of use for both the administrator and the user viewing the site from the front end. We're very happy with the traffic we receive to our site.

Easy to use, highly customizable, and easy to explain to clients how use and they always appreciate the ease of use. I can hard code websites but I almost always prefer to use WordPress.

When I first started I thought WordPress was a cookie-cutter situation but as I grew with it I learned more about and figured out how things work and different ways to use it. Not many negatives with it from my perspective.

ease of use, easy to explain to to clients and other web developers. So many plugins and options to use to help other people jump on board with it. Learned this fast!

"Helped me become a good Tech blogger."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

One of the things I like best about WordPress.org is its simplicity and ease of use. With a few clicks, I can set up a WordPress website and start blogging, creating content, and managing your online presence.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There can be a learning curve associated with using WordPress.org, as it can take some time to understand all of the features and settings available. Additionally, the platform can be slow and prone to crashing, particularly when many plugins and themes are installed.

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

WordPress.org is solving the problem of website creation and management for users who are not experienced in web development or coding. It is benefiting users by allowing them to create and manage their own websites with minimal effort, cost, and technical knowledge. WordPress.org also offers a large library of plugins and themes that can be used to customize websites to the user’s exact needs and preferences. Additionally, because WordPress.org is a free and open source platform, users can access the source code and modify it to their own needs. In this way, users have access to a powerful and versatile website creation platform with minimal effort and cost.

"Great CMS for Most Website Needs"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I've used Wordpress as the CMS for my past two companies when building websites for small but growing brands. Wordpress allowed me to build simple but customizable websites that looked professional.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Wordpress websites need a updating fairly frequently-be sure to build that into whatever maintenance contract you decide on with your web design firm. There are some limitations to customization but for most companies this is a great CMS.

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

I used Wordpress as the web content management service for the websites for two of the previous organizations I worked for. It allowed me to easily make promotional updates to the sites without contacting a web developer.

"The most complete and customizable web publishing platform"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress.org is hands down, the best platform for creating websites. What I like most is its flexibility and ease of use. I also like the fact that it has a wide variety of plug-ins that help us customize websites according to the needs, plus the wide variety of templates available makes it easy to find one that fits the current aesthetic needs. I also liked it in terms of security, as it is one of the safest platforms available to create a website; it offers constant updates to protect websites against security threats, in addition to already having many security plug-ins available.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Due to the wide variety of options and configurations, the platform becomes a bit overwhelming at first; new users may feel a bit disoriented at first; however, there is an excellent and large online community that can be very helpful in understanding and getting the most out of this tool.

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

The most significant benefit we find in using this tool is the creation and maintenance of websites. It is so easy to use and intuitive that no matter if we are beginners or experts in the field, we can do a great job and get the best custom websites in a matter of minutes. It has a wide range of functions, features and integrated resources that save significant time, effort and money in creating websites for the organization. Another advantage is its large community; it is easy to find help in the forums and tutorials available.
