"Desde que uso WordPress no paso horas escribiendo el código de sitios web"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Me encanta WordPress, ya que no es necesario pasar largas horas escribiendo el código de sitios web. Este software tiene una gran cantidad de herramientas, complementos y temas que permiten crear sitios web profesionales. Además, desde que WordPress implementó las actualizaciones automáticas, casi no es necesario realizar mantenimientos.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Si bien no son necesarios conocimientos de diseño para crear sitios web con WordPress, si se deben contar con amplios conocimientos para su optimización, ya que tiende a cargar lentamente a medida que se vayan agregando complementos.

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

Con WordPress desarrollé el sitio web de comercio electrónico de nuestra empresa, ya que no requeríamos de un alto presupuesto, teniendo en cuenta que solo fue necesario pagar el costo del dominio y el servicio de alojamiento. Además, WordPress se integraba con WooCommerce, que nos permitió gestionar nuestros productos y añadir medios de pago.

"Wordpress Review"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

You can create websites and blog easily and it takes very less time to do that. With predefine themes you can actually save a lot of time, and for basic website building no programming language is required. You have ready to use plugins available to use with your website. the websites are responsive in nature so it is easily accessible with both mobile and desktop.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Nothing this platform is amazing to start your web programming experience.

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

I am working on wordpress for last six years. We are creating websites designing blogs for organizations and for people. Also some of the portals of our own products are developed in wordpress.

"It is the most used and flexible CMS in the world"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

It is an open source platform, which stimulates the world's developers to create new plugins. When I need to create virtual stores for my customers, use Woocomerce which is a set of functions that facilitate the creation of a store. For users without programming experience, it is possible to use plugins like the elementor, which just drag and drop, to have a customized site. For those who work with SEO, there are many plugins that facilitate this type of integration. Rank Math and Yoast SEO are the best examples. Unlike an HTML site, where you need to manually insert the integrations into the source code, Wordpress plugins make this work easier by automatically installing. The investment cost is also very low, since there are millions of free plugins or when they are paid, you can buy them with lifetime access.It is a great alternative for those who are starting.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Wordpres 5 with Gutenberg still presents some problems in creating new posts. Sometimes it crashes or slows down, which harms productivity. The option to create templates with drag and drop could be standard in wordpress, would make changes simpler and cheaper.

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

It is very easy to find software solutions that integrate with Wordpress, so you find the solution to any problem. I use Elementor and LiveCanva, to build my sites and thanks to Worpress, this work is very fast and the site gets lighter.

What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Easy to navigate, comes with great built in tools (SEO etc)

This is the only CMS I've ever used in any organisation, so not much to say. An undo button would be nice!

"WordPress makes building your website intuitive."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I like WordPress: - Is free. - Contains a large amount of documentation on the internet about its use and operation. - There are many free plugins that allow you to make the most of its benefits. - It has a friendly and intuitive graphical interface. - It is easy to configure and use. - It is multipurpose, it is used for blogs, information web pages, newspapers, forums, among others. - It inherently carries responsive design, which although you must be aware of design all the time, in general terms, responsive design is taken for granted. - It is constantly updated.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I don't like WordPress: - Security is on the part of the developer, almost 100%. WordPress guarantees you very basic security protocols. It is the responsibility of the developer of the page to promote them. - Another security detail is that its fame and considerable presence in web development make it the preferred target of attackers.

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

When I used it in my work, WordPress helped me generate quick solutions for the problems or details that were presented. Thanks to the extensive documentation and the number of plugins available for free, I was able to solve for the company without much loss of time.

"From Novice to Leader"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

With Wordpress you have one amazing thing, Flexibility. Many builders claim to be infinitely customizable, WordPress truly is. Having worked all sides of the system, from the initial one click install of a beginner, to the configuration of the webserver through ssh, I have found a deep respect for a system that is used by such a wide variety of people.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

While being infinitely customizable, the system has one glaring flaw, The Premium Content. Many plugins and themes that would set your site above and beyond cost anywhere from $20 up. For fledgling companies with little to no budget for their site, this can be a killer. I have seen several small family run businesses fail, if they'd had the budget for a next level site, where they would have succeeded had the theme or plugin they needed was a more reasonable cost.

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

As a small business owner, I have found that WordPress is instrumental in the rapid deployment of a companies presence online. It can cover everything from setting appointments to support, from storefronts to client profiles, and everything in between

"A reliable and renowned CMS with customizability at the forefront"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress has been the go-to CMS for my team and I for a long time. There were plenty of alternative website builders in the market even then, but WordPress resonated with us due to its core, back-bone, value proposition of customization. Virtually everything in a WordPress website can be customized, altered or transformed in some way and there’s a huge infrastructure of plugins and extensions. You can expect to find plugins, add-ons and extensions ranging from currency changers and complex themes to e-commerce components and blogging capabilities that allow you to design the exact website you have in mind.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress empowers its users with intensive personalization and freedom, but this means that there's a trade off between customizability and convenience. Unlike alternative builders (like Shopify), it can be quite difficult and confusing to get around building a highly personalized website, especially for the layman. Extensions and plugins can sometimes be difficult to integrate, and when things go wrong, technical troubleshoots can be daunting.

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

If you're someone who seeks a certain measure of control over your website's design and of its backend components, then WordPress can be a great CMS. Developers are able to hard code complex elements into a website’s infrastructure, and non-coders can still perform alterations via plugins that help incorporate specific modifications to templates and functions with ease.

The best thing about WordPress is that it is an open-source CMS tool having one of the largest community across the world. It is the most used Content Management Software. It is easy to use and does not require much experience. It only needs a basic idea about the structures and designs to operate it. You can easily make a blog or a complete website with this. For extending its capabilities, there are thousands of free and paid plugins available to get the expected functionality on your website. We can get several plugins for our use cases from its official website.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is nothing to dislike about WordPress.

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

We have created our business website with WordPress. It is really easy to install WordPress on the server. We are using a variety of plugins to get the desired capabilities. We are using plugins for drag and drop customization, website analytics, ad publishing, subscription forms, e-commerce and CRM capabilities. Integrating all of these is really easy with WordPress.

"WordPress se creó para que todo tipo de personas tuvieran la posibilidad de crear páginas web"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

La facilidad de uso que te ofrece WordPress no la encontrarás en ninguna otra plataforma. Es tan simple de usar desde la instalación en el servidor hasta la personalización de la página web. También me parece destacable la cantidad de usuarios que con frecuencia se encuentran desarrollando tanto plantillas como complementos para WordPress. También me gusta porque es gratis sin duda alguna.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Algunas versiones de WordPress dejan de ser compatible a medida que las versiones de PHP se actualizan, por lo que siempre hay que estar atento a mantener la plataforma de WordPress en su versión más reciente.

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

Con WordPress pude crear el sitio web de mi empresa por cuenta propia, sin necesidad de realizar grandes inversiones en un desarrollador web. Lo más beneficioso es que a través de un complemento, como lo es WooCommerce, pude darle las características de tienda en línea a mi sitio web.

"Excellent CMS for starters and professionals"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is one of the best content management systems I had ever seen. The best part of wordpress is the user friendly UI and amazing UX. The CMS comes packed with all essentials that helps developer to build awesome websites. The most important of wordpress is that you don't need to have complete coding knowledge, an intermediate knowledge on frontend customizations is more than enough.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Can't be meant as worst, but the bad one is the unnecessary plugins and unautheticated plugins available on wordpress store. These pluguins spoil the fame of wordpress often. The management should filter those quality compromised plugins and ensure the security is the priority. Other than that wordpress is best.

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

With wordpress, I have solved my client need of getting their business online. Before switching to wordpress, the client was using HTML and tried presta for sometime. But after getting hands on wordpress, the client seems satisfied. All thanks to its easy customization and hassle less backend integration system.

"Wordpress delviers Everything Your Company Will Ever Need"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is simple to set up and has all the features of a paid, commercial CMS platform plus the ability to upgrade, select features as needed, and it is also evolving.If there is something you need, someone has probably either developed it, or is about to develop it. It also grows with you. You can customize templates and get excellent support from the templates you use. As an agency, it is everything you'll ever need to satisfy even the toughest clients. I can give clients a site they will love, that performs awesome in Google and allows them to control their own content.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is very little I dislike but the cost of plug-ins are getting to be excessive. There is a cost for nearly every feature you add, while still less expensive than purchasing a CMS platform, these services can conflict and complicate site management.

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

Offering clients a better, professional website without the high cost. Launching new websites that perform better in Google and offer more features. Giving real estate agents, small companies an edge by competing with larger websites and corporations.
