WordPress.org Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

I like the great templates that allows for easy website design.

There's nothing really that I dislike .

Blogging and website design.

The templates available are useful. I like that Wordpress has tutorials right on the site.

Heavy code is sometimes needed, but no always.

We recently modernized our website and have been getting more traction because of it.

Easy to use, easy to teach, easy to access, great mobile platform, ease to get things online

Boring interface, not as exciting looking ad other back end sites

Reliability

The ability to customize and incorporate prebuilt themes

Would like a better mobile option for updating content on the fly

Building my online presence. Wordpress is easy to use and makes it simple for a non developer to manage their own website

I like that I'm able to use HTML if i choose, but that I didn't need that skill to create a great sure. I've used other sites that won't let you toggle to the HTML code.

Sometimes it's hard to find certain features such as updating the social media buttons that the theme I chose has at the top of the page.

I'm able to create a website/blog where I can gather followers and promote my work.

I love the flexibility & customization.

Lacks some consistency across different themes and plugins.

We use this to build our websites for several ministry partners.

Where to start? I think the number one advantage to using WordPress as your content management system of choice is its absolute ease of use. Deploying a basic website with WordPress is dead simple, and a perfect choice for the one man time and can scale to the largest of companies. However, just because it's easy and simple to use doesn't mean it doesn't have extensibility. There are quite literally thousands of plugins to choose from to extend your website in any way possible. Social media integration, SEO, theming, etc. is made a snap. With its huge user base, there are so many themes available for customization you can uniquely tune your website to fit your brand and style. Additionally, with such a large user base support is top notch and a quick google search will most likely turn up the answer to any question you can have.

WordPress does a lot of things very well. However, my biggest gripe is the search function: both on the website or within the dashboard. Searching for posts is very clumsy and you can have a hard time finding the post you know is there just lost in the pages. The biggest key in getting searches to work well is good post tagging, but that always isn't the case. I think the search feature could be optimized a bit more to search not only the post tags, but a cursory search of the posts content and especially title. An "advanced search" would be really nice where you can specify what you want to search on, date ranges, categories, etc.

The main problem WordPress solves for us is how easy deployment and scalability. Because of how easy it is to use and work within WordPress as a content management system, we spend less time hassling with the CMS and more time creating and producing c

I like using Wordpress because it is flexible and easy to navigate. You can easily make adjustments add plugins and edit with minimal hassle.

Plugins can make cross-site changes difficult or multi-stepped. The general theme options are limiting and require use and knowledge to make personalized changes.

The ability to make mobile edits, have multiple sites with and without product links is very helpful.

I like how user friendly Wordpress is for me to share my ideas and view the ideas of others.

I dislike how it is sometimes difficult to find other pages. I think Facebook and Twitter make it easier to view other user profiles.

Some benefits that I've realized include easy ways to network and find out more information about products I'm interested in.

The ease of use and WYSIWYG ideology. Designs are easy to utilize and install. Plus, I have a mirrored website in Spanish, and converting was a piece of cake.

There are constant updates and bug fixes, which irk me. Also, some "updates" revert the website to its original incarnation, which then requires more effort to get back to the current look and content of the site.

As a NPO with government ties, we are required to have a website in both English and Spanish to be HUD-compliant. We also have to publish our RFPs and RFQs, and this is an easy way to do it without having to field tons of requests. We send vendors and applicants to the website and it's done.

The compatibility with other programs and accessibility of plugins

I honestly haven't encountered anything that I really dislike.

We are trying to rebrand our institution and get our success story out into the public. WordPress has provided some great tools to monitor our web content and find updates that reflect our new brand.

WordPress is extremely user friendly, and there are a huge variety of plugins and templates that are free for users.

There are constantly updates - this is a pro and a con at the same time.

With WordPress, I was able to design and build our organization's website from start to finish and can regularly make edits/updates, all with only a little bit of web development experience.

It is very user friendly. I have gone from paying someone to manage my website/blog to creating posts and building my website. I love that I have the ability to make quick changes without going through someone else.

It took me awhile to learn the program. Once I learned the ins and outs I haven't had any problems since.

I'm able to share my past experiences on my blog which allows potential customers the opportunity to look at my work. Most of my business comes through word of mouth so my customer base enjoys seeing my work through the web.

Wordpress is the #1 content management system around and small to large companies are increasingly becoming aware of how PRODUCTIVE it allows its users to be once their CMS is running. The productivity boost that WordPress provides is immediate satisfaction for almost all users.

I wish that WordPress allowed users to decide which sidebar they want on each page instead of it being universal.

WordPress solves the problem of small business not being able to create changeable websites. Users quickly realize that WordPress gives them more flexibility than ever before.

I like the fact that you can customize many different functions for your webpage.

The knowledgebase is not great because you can paste in images and just copy and paste from word so that the content remains as seen.

We are using wordpress for building our learning center for our Website. It benefits us because we are able to control our learning center and customize it as needed,

It's super easy to use and maintain. The menu is easy to follow. Everything is extremely easy to understand and navigate. Plugins can be installed right away.

I wish there can be a "trial" for the plugins. For example, instead of installing it directly, you can test it out first before installing and then uninstalling when you don't like the functionality.

We design websites based off of templates. It makes it quicker for us to complete websites, yet still able to customize it for clients. Then it's really easy for them to maintain it on their own.

It´s suitable for beginners and experts since it allows from the basic features to the most advance customisations.

It would be nice if it would be more SEO oriented for the people who is starting-

Content managements and flexibility when adding new sites and pages.

I have had to use the WordPress backend for a number of clients I blog for, and it is always straightforward and simple.

Not the most helpful when it comes to fixing a problem, likely because there are so many plugins. (This has only happened once, though, and the bug eventually went away.)

A great platform for hosting a widely-read blog, and it is extremely customizable.

User friendly and beautiful produc. The blog we created has great reviews

nothing, I like everything about this product

BloggingPR

Wordpress.org offers some great plugins for wordpress bloggers of all ability to enable them to create some amazing websites amazing capabilities. It is a must have link in any browsers favourite bar.

nothing to dislike in reallity as all the plugins they list are tried and tested before release to the public.

Creating some great websites with many varied applications

That you can make whatever you want through the site and easily add things. There's a lot of options to make it how you want to make it. My wordpress looks completely different from the person next to me. Since it's so easy to build the site, you can buy the rights to your site so you don't have to have the word wordpress before the .com in the site. you can name the site what you want yet still use wordpress to build it which makes it easy to work.

It's confusing to use at first, but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy

I was able to better market myself and was able to have videos from different sites on it along with my resume and I didn't have to pay anything for it.

I was in charge of completing updates for our website. I like the variety of themes offered best.

Sometimes it is not as user friendly - labels don't necessarily match up with what I think they are, ie, more jargon than simple terms.

Labels. Extensive knowledge of WordPress.

Back end portal that is easy to use and navigate.

Only when plugins do not work, but that's more plugin related than Wordpress. I like wordpress, no complaints.

Having a website that easy to use, easy to navigate.

I love using Wordpress because it is easily customizable and you are not trapped into set themes or layouts. Lots of options and very easy to figure out.

I dislike the signing up users process. When you have a lot of people to sign up as the admin, it's not very easy to do.

Blog platform for kids as an easy way to get access to information

Wordpress provides user-friendly features so that once a website has been developed, almost anyone can maintain it. As a non-profit organization, we often have volunteers who help maintain different elements of our website. Having a platform to host our website that is both customizable and user-friendly is a big plus for us.

There aren't quite as many good plug-ins as I would like. Although this reflects partly on our own website designers, I think that it is also indicative of some areas for improvement for the Wordpress.org platform.

Wordpress helps our church engage with our community. We think of our website as our front lawn, and Wordpress helps our church to look appealing. Because we are a non-profit and are not selling anything, our website is not used to generate sales or attract people's attention to gain a profit. However, our website does allow us to serve the community and to connect people with our church in a meaningful way.

Es un software que nunca ha dejado de crecer. Frente a otras soluciones, WordPress.org siempre ha estado actualizando y trabajando en su software. Empezó como un software de autoedición de paginas web y ahora mismo es la herramienta que usan la mayoría de las empresas. It is software that has never stopped growing. In contrast to other solutions, WordPress.org has always been updating and working on its software. It started as a desktop publishing software and now is the tool most companies use.

Quizás la unica pega es que ha tenido perdida en su rendimiento y que cada vez requiere mas recursos para funcionar correctamente. Esto hace que sea necesario aumentar las capacidades del servidor o cambiar los parámetros standard de configuración del mismo.

Como empresa de servicios IT en ocasiones necesitamos cambiar cierto contenido de la web, porque ha quedado obsoleto, se han cambiado las marcas con las que trabajamos o un fabricante nos solicita incluir su banner. Con este software es muy sencillo realizar dichos cambios. Perhaps the only drawback is that it has lost its performance and that every time requires more resources to function properly. This makes it necessary to increase the server's capabilities or change the server's standard configuration parameters.

Ease of installation. Pleasant, well designed user interface. Easy for non-technical clients to learn to use, and also prevents them from messing too many things up! Ease of updating, lots of extendable features, can double as a content management system.

Very little to dislike - have had some past difficulty integrating some 3rd party widgets (like Instagram) but that's not a fault with the software.

I can offer a complete way for a client to manage their own site content without needing to implement a larger, more expensive or more bloated CMS solution. It is versatile for all sorts of different websites.

The customizable website and options for plug ins

Can be a bit difficult for those with no website experience

Marketing efforts with brand awareness. It's great for sharing.

The best thing about WordPress is its versatility. Between integrations, page management, media options, and more, it feels like there's nothing that can't be done using this platform. It's also super intuitive and easy to use, which is a huge plus. It doesn't hurt that there's a robust mobile app as well.

It can be a little buggy sometimes, especially when using integrations.

WordPress powers our blog, and it's an invaluable asset in terms of page building.

I enjoy the user friendliness and they way it is easy to link my wordpress documents to my other social media outlets.

I dislike the quality of the free formatting options.

publishing my work, It is an easy way to get started as a writer
