WordPress.org Reviews & Product Details

The ease of use. WordPress makes creating web pages, blogs, noting easy!

It's free, and that come with issues. The updates often have minor bugs and the templates aren't as snazzy as competitors

Blogging, web page enhancements

I can build a full featured job board in 4 days, a paid directory site in 3 days, and a robust ecommerce site in 2 days with WordPress. Everything I need has already been built, so rapid deployment takes on a whole new meaning.

WordPress user roles all give access to the same ugly backend interface. All 'white glove' experiences require (relatively) extensive buildouts of custom backend interfaces with use of third-party services to allow posting, product management, or user preferences.

WordPress is 80% of my business. Nearly all of my clients use WordPress, nearly all of my site builds use WordPress. With WordPress I can build something in a week which took a pair of Ruby on Rails developers a year to build. A week!

It is free. That makes a big difference for someone like me starting out with website building & my own business. Plugins galore. Pretty much anything you can think of, there is a plugin for it! The community online for help is insanely big! Lots of free information & help on what you are working on.

I am currently taking a course dedicated to setting up multiple websites & turning it into a business. With a little guidance, I have yet to see any cons, for me personally.

Having a website answers a lot of questions for potential clients. The easier the website is to set up, the quicker I can work on attracting clients. I believe it'll be good way to interact with the outside world, with my blog.

Wordpress is a very user friendly platform for writers. It provides a place for aspiring writers to showcase their abilities in a professional way. Many websites also use Wordpress so by allowing free access to their system sets writers up for success as they branch out with their writing.

Sometimes when I move my writing from Microsoft Word to Wordpress, there are extra spaces between paragraphs that I have to delete. When I then add images, in the first draft, it shows it exactly how I want it. But when it's published, there are extra spaces between the images and paragraphs. It's easy enough to edit and delete these spaces, but it's annoying that I can't delete the spaces in the first draft and must instead publish it before seeing where these extra spaces are.

WordPress.org allows me to professionally promote my writing, track my views and play with layout and images. All of these are skills I'm trying to hone as I pursue a career in fashion writing.

Easy to learn and use. Fully customizable and SEO friendly. Options to select from a lots of themes and plugins to achieve various functionalities. Can be used for a variety of purpose like blogging, ecommerce, photos and videos showcase, etc. Great community support.

Sometimes the wordpress has a lot of hacking issues, we need to make sure we have a secure firewall and server. Make sure the passwords are complex and use the correct hosting server if your site has a lot of bandwidth.

We use wordpress to for a variety of purposes in a lot of different situations. Sometimes we help people to setup their corporate websites on wordpress, we use it to setup a blog for people to would love to share content. We also use wordpress for people to sell their products online using this platform. Overall with wordpress, we not only achieve the CMS platform functionality, but also functionality of what other platforms do like ecommerce platform, blogging platform, website showcase platform, etc.

The ease, the new features, the plugins, the templates...

It is quite slow and the security is very bad. You have to install security plugins.

The best CMS for blogging, landing pages, web site, elearning...

I love the back-end user interface, how easy it is to apply themes and the vast community of developers who contribute plugins. Wordpress is also very easy to install, keep updated, and content editing is also very quick and simple.

There's not a lot that I dislike. However, one thing that does come to mind is that it is not always easy to add custom HTML tags to articles and pages, because often the WYSIWYG editor overwrites the HTML.

Wordpress is great for corporate websites, blogs, or even for managing more traditional static websites. It is also quite useful as a subdomain, or separate area of an existing website where it can be used for articles, a knowledge base, a professional blog, and so on. Also, with the wide array of plugins, it can be used for anything from a hotel reservation system to a photography portfolio.

Flexibility of each theme. Now with the WordPress default Theme 2017 modifications can be saved within the WordPress native control interface. And for us developers, we can also still use child themes which saves code changes in a separate area. The many plugins allow for feature add-ons without the need to a develop customer code. WordPress and plugins offer continued upgrades needed to thwart hacking.

All the built in features and plugin add-ons can tend to make the code bloated. Or the plugin is an overkill of what we need to implement. Many additional features we simply do not use. However, the ease of implementation outweighs this negative

Use WordPress.org annual 2014-2017 themes are easy to install, modify and implement. Decreases both development and time to market.

Ease and simplicity for the user for management of the website

We have not found anything that we do not like about Wordpress.

Ease and simplicity of use

Flexible for developers and publishers. Powerful in the right hands.

With great power comes great responsibility. Too easy for bad developers to use poorly and give WP a bad name.

WordPress works for everything for a brochure site, to an active blog, to the source of content for a mobile app.

I know Wordpress like it's the back of my hand. From pages to posts, it's very easy to add content to your website with the Wordpress platform. Building out menus so an easy drag and drop, deleting pages is as easy as a click. You can schedule out blogs with ease and integrate social feeds by downloading and activating a plugin.

I dislike how difficult it is to build out columns, duplicate pages or posts, custom order things. But there are also plugins for that. The only thing is...sometimes developers stop supporting those plugins.

website design for clients is through Wordpress. They are the CMS that drives the functionality of a web page.

Easy and Intuitive. I have built 400+ websites with WordPress and would not jump ship at anytime on them.

My only issue with WordPress is that its so open for customizing you can break your site if you do not know what you are doing easily.

WordPress allows me to get small business' websites up inexpensively and quickly. I also have the ability to get them a web store up as well extremely quickly.

Ease of use of the product, with great and simple explanations, especially for someone like myself, who isn't the most savvy when it comes to technology and software. Tutorials online made it super easy to learn, just have to dedicate some time at the start. It's great when a company such as this can offer services to people for free and keep this, then offering more advanced features for paying customers. This is how you create loyalty to a company.

Nothing critical, except the time consuming nature when just starting to learn to use the product. However, I'm only a light user, so I cannot critique into the thorough nature of wordpress.

We used it for advertising our company; which has currently been on hiatus the last couple months. We will be coming back to wordpress once we kick the company back into gear. We also used it for keeping track of inventory, orders, and displaying our craftsmanship with high quality photos versus using facebook and instagram.

It is great for team blogs and marketing work.

It takes awhile to learn all the features. I have had to learn from teammates and play around with the website.

We wanted to market our work and campaign the #codeforall movement. It had helped us show the world the work that we were doing and increase awareness about the gap in Computer Science. More and more people had reached out to us about the opportunities to learn coding.

Easy to work with. The standard for setting up landing pages and forms.

Some wording can be tricky but once you get the hang of it - awesome!

Hosting landing pages for issue surveys and petitions.

I like the workflow of wordpress- it gives you direction and flow of information on pages you need to complete. It also is a visual-friendly tool which I personally like and think is especially helpful when designing a website.

Sometimes importing images and attaching links/ other websites had weird displaying capabilities.

Solved the problem of not having a website. Benefits are that it's very easy to create and maintain (make changes).

Wordpress is easy and simple to use and at the same time it is very powerful, there are many possibilities to create great websites

There is nothing, so far, that I would really dislike.

Different kind of Websites. Every client is very satisfied with wordpress

Wordpress.org, the self-hosted version of WP, is excellent for small online businesses. Most hosting companies have a one-click option to install it on an existing domain, and it is easy to set up and begin creating content.

WP can occasionally be susceptible to vulnerabilities, so it must be kept updated on a strictly regular basis. Occasional users would not necessarily be aware of this and may end up with a compromised site.

I am able to install and maintain WordPress on all of my sites and all of my clients' sites. The benefits to this are far-reaching.

Ease of use for both developers and clients.

The security issue is always coming back.

We build all of our websites in WordPress.

I like the ability to buy or use free plugins to do practically anything with my site. Other websites host all their features, and this can be quite limited, but with all the Wordpress plugins, you can always innovate and update your site.

I don't like how the different themes change the entire user experience. Change your theme, and suddenly your settings change and your ability to change the color palette for the website is located in some obscure location in one of your tabs.

I've built a site to host my blog and begin building passive income through affiliate links.
