"Fool Proof Website/Content Management"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is like the advanced version of a website builder. There are significantly more options than GoDaddy alone. As a novice website builder, someone not adept in coding, Wordpress makes it possible to create extremely visually pleasing, easy to navigate, productive websites. Additionally, the popularity of the platform makes it easy to locate online self help videos that enable you to learn and grow your knowledge.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I do not enjoy the fact that I have to create a secondary website for mobile phone viewing. While I understand the reasoning behind it, for the novice user it would be extremely helpful to have a "standard" option where wordpress automatically converts it like the other website builders do.

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

Removes the expensive need for you to hire a website designer and allows the user to roll what funds they would spend on website building back into their business. It frees up time and capital by making it simple to design and manage your own website.

"The Best Platform To Build Websites Fast With Zero Coding Experience"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

With wordpress.org, the sky is the limit. Whether you're an experienced programmer or a complete novice, you can build the website of your dreams. WordPress makes web design easy; by choosing a theme, you have a website. Now, after you are done with your theme, you can enhance the functionality of your website to meet your needs using plugins. If you want to collect emails, there is a plugin. If you want to customize the look and feel of your website, there is a plugin for that. If you want to track website visitors, there is a plugin. If you want to do anything on your website, with a few clicks, you'll find a plugin that does just so. The best thing about WordPress is its reliability of it. An excellent framework for website builders. The learning curve is short. Millions of resources teach the ins and outs of WordPress. Best software ever for website creation.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Everything a web developer needs can be achieved through WordPress. There is nothing wrong to say about it. And that is the bottom line. Lots of support and lots of resources to learn from.

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

Anytime I want to build a website fast, I use WordPress as my first choice. With WordPress, I can build an entire website that matches my needs exactly as I want it, in less than two hours.

"Great option for creating websites without too much coding skills"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The sheer amount of plugins. Plugins allow the basic WordPress framework do additional things and using these you can create a massive variety of different type of sites. My recent favorite plugin is Elementor - it essentially allows you to visually drag and drop elements to build webpages in a very easy way.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

As a popular option for creating websites, it has become a target for hackers etc. Luckily they keep the software updated and there's also other plugins which you can use to secure your websites. Other than that, some of the account roles was confusing to me for a while.

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

I can quickly build, design and deploy a website. This is great especially if you're creating landing pages to validate a business idea / product or working with clients who need custom website designs and features. Some hosting companies have "one click install" which makes it extremely quick to get up and running.

WordPress is flexible and versatile. It allows you to build virtually anything with it. The Gutenberg editor is great for publishing content.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress doesn't come with an abundance of features out of the box. You need to add plugins to get your site to where you want it to be.

It made it easy for us to deploy a website in mere weeks. It's also inexpensive and designing it is also cheap. It helps our writers be more productive and publish content faster.

"WordPress is a fantastic CMS for everyone."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

As a developer, I like that WordPress is an open-source content management system. It's a great feature of WordPress to have access to so many Free and Premium themes, which can be installed and used with just one click. Pick a piece, then make changes to it—no, there's a need to create a website from the start. Third-party plugins that WordPress supports allow me to automate tedious tasks and are helpful.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is a security problem in WordPress, it gets hacked very quickly, and when we use a lot of plugins, the website starts running very slowly.

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

I have created many websites in WordPress, like an e-commerce website and an informative one; it is easy to create a website in WordPress. Integration of third-party plugins improves the functionality of websites, and plugin integration is exceptionally straightforward.

"Mejor sistema para hacer una página web sin grandes conocimientos informáticos"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Puedes construir fácilmente una página web, con un conocimiento mínimo. Después la irás editando y ampliando tus conocimientos sobre la plataforma.Se va haciendo más intuitiva a medida que avanzas.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Hay que tener cuidado con no utilizar demasiados plugins. Son una herramienta fantástica y es fácil caer en la tentación de utilizar demasiados, pero poco a poco encontrarás la justa medida.

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

Me permite construir mi página web, publicar artículos, fotos, actualizarla sin necesidad de una persona externa. Además proporciona seguridad y estar libre de ataques externos.
