"Wordpress making my business presence known!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I love WordPress's flexibility to help me brand my business from unique themes to a wide variety of plugins.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I honestly have not found anything that I dislike about WordPress itself. I have had issues with the compatibility of specific plugins that were later fixed with updates, but that is the nature of the platform as it is with anything else that relies on third-party plugins. But it all gets taken care of relatively quickly.

I am getting my business out there and noticed by creating WordPress websites.

Points which I dislike about WordPress.org is, to create a good website a lot of plugins has to be used which in turn affects the site's speed and turns it slower affecting the overall user experience. One more point is as it is an open and free source, there is always a chance to get hacked.

The best part is I don't have to pay WordPress for running my websites. I am able to create good looking e-commerce and blog website. From both my websites I am able to generate sales and affiliate marketing income.

EVERYTHING! Wordpress is easy to use. Intuitive. Robust. Plenty of plugins and support for many html based widgets.

Using Wordpress for our church's website. Easy to use and train others to use as well. It may be helpful to have lists of training videos on YouTube or elsewhere that point new users to helpful tips.

"I developed my website without coding in WordPress"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like WordPress the best because I am a website developer and have created a website in WordPress without coding. It's amazing. I don't know how to make a website. After watching the YouTube video, I created a WordPress for my website and the website is up and running. I can't believe it.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Undoubtedly, WordPress is the best CMS software of all time. But unfortunately, the content image does not show up on my WordPress website then I hire an expert to fix this problem. I really dislike not being able to see the content on the image page.

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

When I started working in the freelancing market, I needed a portfolio website to show clients. Then I bought a hosting and start a WordPress. I have solved my portfolio website problem in WordPress.

"Best CMS Ever. I use it everyday."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The best part about WordPress CMS is that it is so easy to use. For a No-coder myself, this is a serious boon. I have done multiple side projects with WordPress. If there was no WordPress, I don't know where I would be.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The one thing I would have liked to have is creating mini saas products with WordPress. I know WP is more inclined towards content based system, but there can be serious improvements with regards to micro content saas too. I wish WP works towards it.

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

I have been publishing blogs, creating affiliate sites, landing pages with Wordpress. It is one of the best and easy to use CMS so far.

Nothing to dislike - it's a very helpful site.

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

"Content Management Beyond Blogs"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Though the initial focus of WordPress was as a blog publishing platform, the thriving third-party and community-built plugins and extensions have long since established it as a full-fledged content management system capable of handling endless varieties of website configurations. From simple brochure sites extolling the virtues of a single product or brand to e-commerce marketplaces built with WooCommerce and Shopify, WordPress offers web developers a standardized management interface with familiar controls and (for the most part) intuitive components regardless of the content being managed.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

With abundance often comes overabundance. The proliferation of plugins, themes, and even whole frameworks, while impressive, is also the biggest pitfall. Adopting a theme framework like Genesis or Elementor for use across multiple sites can be a huge timesaver for a designer, but the moment your go-to theme or plugin ceases development and begins to grow stale in the WordPress marketplace, finding a suitable replacement and incorporating it throughout an existing portfolio of sites can become daunting. WordPress and its more prominent plugin and theme developers have helped by allowing automatic updates and refining the plugin and child theme management concepts, but one outdated plugin used across several sites is all it takes to expose security vulnerabilities that can compromise client data. Also, with so many options for achieving the same results, vetting a single plugin or deciding on an all-inclusive package can be overwhelming when starting from scratch or collaborating with others.

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

I have improved both my production time and maintenance processes significantly by using WordPress to build client websites. With a multisite server running numerous client websites, I can share plugins and themes (via child themes) across several sites and only have to update each theme or plugin once at the multisite level. It also offers the ability to clone an existing subsite into a new one, so I can start a new client's design based on an already tweaked and polished site that I have fully vetted. That way I only have stylistic and content changes to address, without having to worry about whether the responsive mobile navigation is going to show up correctly or if the GDPR popup plugin will work as advertised.

"Wordpress Gets Rid of Handholding"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like being able to create/design/develop a beautiful responsive website that works for my clients AND that I'm easily able to teach the clients themselves how to use and edit going forward so I don't need to handhold forever.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Some of the new web languages coming out today and static site generators are loading a LOT faster than Wordpress sites do. So I guess I dislike the large files and load times of many Wordpress elements.

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

I've completely solved the problem of having to hold my clients' hands after I launch their site. With just an hour or two of video-recorded training, they know how to edit their content, media, and users with ease.
