"Easy-to-use and SEO-friendly CMS"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress self-hosted (WordPress.org) has a lot of the best themes and useful plugins, from free to paid. I can use the Rank Math plugin for SEO. I can use the UpdraftPlus plugin for backup. I can use the Wordfence Security plugin for security. I can use JetPack to get a variety of features. I can easily integrate with almost any service through plugins. I can use WooCommerce for an e-commerce store. And I can't forget that it's easy to use and manage posts and pages.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress.org CMS is not optimized to manage backend on mobile.

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

WordPress.org has solved many problems, from managing posts to designing websites. I can easily build a fully functional website in 10 minutes; it's as simple as choosing a theme, installing important plugins, making simple settings, and being done.

"Best platform to launch websites, be it a content website or an online store"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Someone without programming knowledge can launch a perfect website/online store making use of vast library of free and paid themes and plugins. If someone is an expert in PHP programming, then sky is the limit. Since this open source platform has a large ecosystem of developers, one can easily hire an expert to customize as well.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Being based on PHP programming language, one cannot expect to surpass the limitations that comes with this language.

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

We have our website for our computer store built with open source WordPress provided by WordPress.org along with host of free plugins available easily once logged into WP Admin dashboard. Of particular mention is WooCommerce plugin for shopping portal features.

Being open source and the most popular CMS, there are tons of free and paid themes and plugins. Though initially started as a blogging platform, there are almost all kind of applications be it ecommerce shop or business directory that can be launched on WordPress today.

Our two corporate websites one dealing with providing finanical services and other with web development and internet marketing services are on WordPress. Armed with plugins like WooCommerce for shopping capabilities, we are very much satisfied.

"Solid Content Management System and great community"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

After a short training, WordPress is an easy-to-use and operate CMS. Whenever you face an issue, you do a quick search, and due to the huge community, you will quickly find a solution for your problem. The implementation was very easy, and we integrated it with our shop system. The number of features and available modules/extensions is perfect and helps us to get a solid and professional shop.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Sometimes, and especially after updates, you need to manually check if everything is still working as expected. Due to the huge number of modules and, in our case, extensions, this is a bit time-consuming and can cause trouble in daily operations.

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

We build a shop system for one of our clients and operate the shop on a daily basis. Besides the shop functionality, we publish content and articles for the shop community.

"Very flexible and easy to learn CMS"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Besides the easy implementation and setup, I like that the CMS is clearly the category leader, and therefore, a lot of content and learning material is available.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

To get more functionality, you need to work with modules/extensions, which makes it more costly and complex to operate.

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

Building websites and shops for my companies. As it is easy to use and operate, we don´t need an agency or designer to set up a useful and modern webpage.

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

My favorite aspect of WordPress.org is its empowerment through choice. It's incredibly easy to use, even for beginners, with a smooth installation process and an intuitive interface. The vast number of features and constant updates ensure I can do anything I dream of, from basic blogs to complex ecommerce sites. Plus, the open-source nature provides unmatched ease of integration with countless plugins and themes, tailoring the platform to my unique needs. Customer support is readily available through the vibrant community forum, where I always find friendly help and inspiration. In essence, WordPress.org isn't just software; it's a powerful platform for building precisely what I envision, with the freedom and support to make it truly my own

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

As an open-source platform, it relies on users to actively manage security updates and plugin compatibility, which can be overwhelming for beginners. Unlike hosted WordPress versions, there's no official customer support team. However, the vibrant community forum usually provides excellent help.

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

WordPress.org tackles the biggest problem of all: locking you into a restrictive, one-size-fits-all website builder. It empowers you with unbridled creative control and flexibility to build precisely the website you envision, whether it's a simple blog, a dynamic portfolio, or a bustling online store.
