Wordpress is supported by so many plug ins to accommodate a variety of features- from landing pages, pop up boxes, and an excellent place to view and track your analytics with Google Analytics and Yoast- the dashboard is easy to use. It is easy to publish and format blog posts, as well as optimize your posts for SEO. You can change your themes easily (with a click of a button). You can customize your header, set your featured image, and create easy to navigate menus and sub menus. There are a variety of themes that work well with Wordpress, from Genesis to Divi, making it easy to set up your website and publish content.
You have to continually upgrade your plugins (everything requires maintenance, so this is really a small annoyance) and make sure you enable double authentication for maximum security.
Easy method for publishing shareable content and providing a "house" for all marketing offers, including funnels and landing pages. I realize that contrary to other platforms, you DO need a website to house your content. A funnel alone is not enough.
I have been building websites using Wordpress for a few years now. What I love about Wordpress is it's agility as a system to accommodate any kind of website and how it gives you unlimited possibilities to add plugins and turn your website to a totally functioning website under your industry's standards. I have built websites ranging from my own portfolio to websites for different industries such as: music, hospitality, retail and every time wordpress manages to impress me by how I can customize it to work exactly as needed for each industry and each need.
From my experience using ready to use themes, I haven't been a big fan of the visual composer. It is quite a slow system to update and create web pages.
Wordpress made it possible for me to accept payments online easily and also adapt the websites to their respective industry standards: online booking system for a tourism website, building a portfolio for my work, taking pre-orders etc.
I love the reliability and familiarity of Wordpress. It's easy to learn and challenging to master.
I dislike their reliance on forums for answering problems.
We use Wordpress as the framework for all of our websites. Its beneficial for getting clients involved with their own websites.
Es fácil de manejar y permite gran variedad de contenido. Múltiples plantillas que permite personalizar cada pagina según la necesidad
Que algunas veces al actualizar la versión del wordpress, no funciona con todas las plantillas. Igualmente pasa con algunos pluggins
Puedo enlazar el grupo de restaurantes con que trabajo, permitiendo que el usuario pueda encontrar todo en un solo lugar
Wordpress is the best platform to start a blog on! It was easy to use and with it were able to create a wonderful blog! We could all sign into our accounts and work on our pieces; it was very nice!
Wish there were more design features! It would have been so nice to be able to design a little more through Wordpress!
We needed a place where we would be able to blog to our heart's content and Wordpress was the solution! Wordpress allowed us to spread our message and create a community. Very thankful!
Creating a website as a graphic designer with CSS coding experience is so easy with Wordpress. I simply purchase a premium theme, install to Wordpress and I have full control over all plugins and coding aspects of the site -- complete back-end control. I have found with both Squarespace and Wix, you do not have full access to the back-end, or you need to pay more to get more of that control and access. With Wordpress, I have access to everything I want to control, but without having to do all of the ground-up website building since I am using a pre-built template.
Having full control also means dealing with initial setup (installation on your hosting provider), dealing with site errors, purchasing SSL certificates, etc. So some of the things that I am not familiar with in terms of managing a website, I have had to teach myself - I think Squarespace, Wix and other sites provide more assistance and "dummy" guides for those things.
I have created several websites for freelance clients. I prefer Wordpress as it allows me to have full control and not face many roadblocks with the varying design requests that come from the clients, in terms of what they want on their site. I designed a site using Wix for one client who preferred it, and have had many more issues when she needed certain features on the site that it turned out had to be purchased as add-ons from Wix. If it has been Wordpress, I could have easily installed a free plugin.
WordPress can be whatever you want it to be. Blogging, for sure, but it's so much more. I've built enterprise-level sites, mobile apps and chatbots using WordPress. When it's time to build a new web application, I think WordPress first, then look for reasons going a different way would be better, and it rarely happens. I've developed with Drupal, Joomla, custom PHP, you name it. I just do jobs faster and better with WordPress. And their new Rest API capabilities are opening a whole new world of possibilities.
While it's great that there are so many WP developers out there, that means there's a lot of bad work out there and many clients have had bad experiences with WP as a result. There also so many do-it-yourselfers and hobbyists who never update plugins or core and end up getting hacked. Then they say that WP isn't secure. WP is completely secure...as long as you set it up properly and install your updates regularly. While I have no problem with plugin developers charging for their work, some of the prices have gotten out of control. I wanted a simple retweeting plugin a few weeks ago and the developer wanted $80 per year for it. Come on, dude, I can explain an $80/year WooCommerce plugin that makes them more money, but how the heck can I sell them on a retweeting plugin that costs the same. I ended up building it myself.
I've created dozens of mobile apps for iOS and Android using WordPress. I can build a better app in half the time for half the money, giving smaller businesses access to having their own app. I've created large shopping sites with affiliate sales program and automated deliveries.
Wordpress.org. is really flexible out of the box, and if there is ever anything I can't get to work, there is always a plugin available. The feature I like most in Wordpress is probably one of the most simple features: the Text and Visual toggles on the pages. That, and the update rollback feature are instrumental to what I do in web design for clients.
I had to think for a long time to come up with something I did not like about Wordpress.org. The only thing I do not like are some of the drag-and-drop based UI builders that are add ons to wordpress - I find some of these drag and drops make Wordpress harder to use.
SEO, Traffic, designing fun and easy-to-use websites... all of these typically large and time consuming projects are made easier and faster with Wordpress. I've realized benefits surrounding time savings especially with the rollback tool, where if I update a site, I can roll it back to a previous version if a mistake was made. No onerous debugging.
I love the freedom Wordpress.org offers, no restrictive TOS, no risk of having your website or blog removed, just total freedom.
The extreme lack of consumer service from Wordpress is the biggest issue. Relying on other users of Wordpress would be nice but 9 times out of 10, you never get any support answers from users.
The fact I do not have to build my website from the bottom up has been a major help. Wordpress provides the foundation, tools, and supplies, all I need to do is build what I think is best.
How easy it is to use, customize, update, and upkeep!
It can be a bit finicky, and it had a bit of a learning curve.
It makes customization and coding easier / simple
Everything is sectioned off and the layouts are pretty endless.
That the back end where you place the templates are not more user friendly when bringing in pre-designed pages.
Major outreach and broadcasting of events. WordPress is just easy to navigate.
The interface is simple and navigating inside the desktop is very convenient and easy. The number of themes on the Internet helps to always find the design you want.
Advertising pluggings, I really hate them
I use Wordpress for bulding simple websites. I usually choose a simple template and modify part of the HTML code
Facility of usage, constantly updating, flexibility
Nothing at the moment. I like all in wordpress.
Once again, i have no complications creating and building content with Wordpress. With this CMS the knowledge of code is minimal.
I like WordPress because it is very user-friendly. It can always be easily worked to get the exact benefit you are looking for. Also it has both free and pricing options which makes it work for everyone.
The only item I probably dislike about wordpress and that most times you need to have wordpress.com in your internet link. Besides that it is an amazing online software to use for many.
Being able to blog and get out articles, stories, press releases and many other communications for the company.
The backbone of the tool once you are into it is its Dashboard. The UI is so intuitive, rich, powerful, user-friendly and attractive like it's saying to the user - hey come on and let's do something. Whether you just need to start creating your website from scratch or a single page or any template, it's easy. it's like what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG). I really like it and found it better than Progress Telerik Sitefinity, Joomla, Drupal. it has vast variety of plug-ins which you can use. it has good SEO handling capabilities as well.
I would say the security needs to be improved. On larger enterprise scale we have come across issues which caused vulnerability to the hosted websites. Option not to use year/month/date folder. SEO can be further improved. It needs a little time for any new learner to learn it.
We hosted multiple enterprise web sites on WordPress for end users as part of our project requirement.
I've been building websites in WordPress for over six years now, and it is my preferred platform for building websites. It's powerful, versatile, and offers enough customization that it makes turning over websites to my clients largely headache-free. What I love most about WordPress is how intuitive the platform is for both developers and users.
The platform does require regular updates, as do individual plugins. Unfortunately, these are not automatic, and require the user to complete the update manually. Normally, this isn't a big deal, but if you're a developer maintaining multiple client websites at once, it can be a pain.
When my clients ask for various sets of robust features for their website, WordPress has been able to deliver at nearly every instance. I trust WordPress for my own personal websites and branding as well.
Markdown support is great. It enables me to use a really simple, cross-platform text language to format my posts.
Needing to involve another server call on page loads. Even though the WP.com servers are fast, it still adds a layer of electronic communication to the page load. I thought this was about Wordpress.com. Wordpress.org, I guess would apply to the open source software and community itself. I find that generally, though the plugin support forum is okay, for general development discourse, StaceOverslow is much more useful.
There are a lot of Jetpack plugins that have become a regular part of my workflow including markdown support and site monitoring.
I like that there is so much to learn. It is pure creation at your fingertips, literally.
Not much really, but I would love to be taught a course.
I run my main website with it.
It's easy to use and understand and yet perfect to my website great
There are a lot of steps some times to get what you want accomplished
Created a great looking website.
The best part about Word Press is that it’s easy to use and flexible enough for just about anything. That’s the main reason why Word Press has grown so much in popularity.
Adding a way to like and dislike comments in WordPress is a useful and easy to implement way of increasing engagemen
Ntg i was faced using the wordpress
