"WordPress.Org is a powerhouse easy-to-use and valuable platform for content creators"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The simplicity of a WYSIWYG interface paired with the huge number of options within the world of WordPress.org plugins makes for a platform I can't imagine moving from ever.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The setup process initially could be a little better and there could also be some helpful tools to sort out curation of what really matters without the ad platform that WordPress has, which gets in the way.

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

Giving us a platform that is easy for non-technical folks to add content and edit it without needing to bring in developers to solve problems. The ease with which those same people can add new features through plugins is a model every major platform should use because it's relatively painless.

"create unlimited free website on WordPress"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The basic version of WordPress is easy to use for a lifetime and maintain, to manage website content and post, create simple custom designs. Additional of editors or third party code to be added. it proves to be the best platform for SEO.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress isn't built for high-performance, and adding plugins can slow things down even more. After a WordPress or theme upgrade, you can spend a lot of time trying to change the site to fit the way the plugin works or trying to change the plugin to fit the way the site works. Can keywords and metadata are not the only components search engine spiders check for relevance. Another very important thing they look for is good webpage design.

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

This is the most important point, it is easy for some attackers to hack our website and log in to the website page. Because its website uses 3rd party plugin, its security should be managed without any plugin.

"Customizable and Versatile"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Its customizable and very much scalable. I was able to mould it to meet the needs of my highly specific use cases. The wide array of 1st party and 3rd party plugins, themes, make it an ideal tool.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Its not exactly beginner friendly. I mean sure plenty of beginners use it, but it has poor customer support, relatively weak guidance, and the poor 3rd party integrations and plugin conflicts are hard to resolve. Overall, I feel like it has a really large learning curve.

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

I am using WordPress to build my very own social media platform. Using WordPress I can always focus on building features, designing tools, and not worry about fundamental security issues, basic design, compatibility, performance management, and more.

"Para mi el mejor CMS para crear un web en la actualidad"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Lo mejor de WordPress es su facilidad de uso y su facilidad de implementación. Tiene una gran cantidad de funciones que te permiten crear una página web de cualquier tipo. Puedes integrarlo con conmuchisimos plugins de terceros y crear blogs, tiendas online, webs corporativas, etc. Y además su uso es completamente gratis.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Lo que menos me gusta de WordPress es su seguridad. Al haber tantas págias webs construidas con WordPress también hay más personas buscando la forma de vulnerar su seguridad.

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

Lo uso para crear todas las páginas webs de mi clientes y las mías propias.

"Easy Digital Marketing for Everyone!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

- I have used WordPress to setup my webiste cum blog cum marketing platform - That's how versatile it is - It's free and open-source! - There's an app/addon for pretty much anything you would need to extend functionality

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

- Although personally, I have found it easy to pick up, newcomers may find all the features complex, and overwhelming.

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

Wordpress has been a brilliant way for us to setup our website that also houses a blog and a marketing portal. It remains accessbile on both mobile and desktop. The interface is very user-friendly - we setup our webiste in a day! And we could align the template to match our branding down to a T. They have a plugin for pretty much anything you might need - we could setup our own shopping page right on our website for free. It's a shame that our business could not keep up as our focus had shifted to other aspects since then. However I doubt it'll be any trouble to get things up and running again.
