The ease of use. Makes it easy for first time users to figure out how to build website.
Needs more customization for pricing. Perhaps different packages.
The ease of ability to get my photograph out to millions of people.
It is quite easy to set up and get going with plenty of free resources to keep the website going. It took me less than a day to completely set up my website from nothing.
Most templates for wordpress end up looking quite cookie cutter .
Website design and management
I love the ease of wordpress. I used tutorials on you tube and was pretty much able to figure things out.
Not easy for beginners without watching some tutorials
It is a beautiful software allowing whatever you dream of to come to life.
The ability to communicate visually and in words. The content is easy to format and share.
Complicated platform dynamics. The site can be confusing to introduce my entry-level employees to.
Increased followers through share-ability
I like the clean look of Wordpress. It's also very easy to navigate. Being able to keep up with your site stats in a plus!
The monthly charge for your website plan.
A huge time saver for developing websites for our clients.
The professional look and feel of the website. The abundance of features and tools that you can use to build an attractive blog of whichever style you choose. This site can even be used to build your brand if you are aiming to do that. It can also serve as a personal, creative outlet. It caters to your needs.
Nothing so far. It has been a smooth and simple process getting my first few blogs out there. The community was responsive right off the bat, and honestly, I have absolutely no complaints thus far. There is simply nothing I "miss" or wish the site had.
I am using WordPress as a personal creative outlet and as a resource to get inspired as well as to maintain a regular flow in my writing. As an English teacher, I find that WordPress is helping me to stay in touch with myself as well as my students by posting regular writings (as I require my students to do) and improving my own writing by receiving comments from other writers. I hope that keeping a blog on WordPress will show my students that I am engaged and present in the world of writing, producing creative work, and technologically in touch.
Great platform to build top notch sites for beginners and experts
Wish that there was a little higher level of patched in security from the plugins
They are allowing so many businesses to leverage their site platform
I love everything about WordPress. If you find the right theme and it installs properly, you can have a site built in a day. Otherwise, if themes aren't your forté then you can build your own just fine.
Not much. I wish the process of logging in would be easier when you forget a password or are locked out. I wish there were more than forums available when in need of help.
I'm improving the efficiency of building reliable and customer maintained website better.
Easy to sue website editor for a small charity
Nothing it is excellent good software and cheap
Website
I like how easy it is and how you can learn to do anything you want very fast, And the plugins are are unlimited so you can always find the right tools for your projects.
I can't find anything I dislike so far about this CMS
E-commerce and agencies websites.
The below features are the best to be used in WordPress: 1.Free and open sourced feature with enormous amounts of themes, plugins and mobile compatibility are the features I like the best. 2.Multi user and multi blogging feature is the best update which I have used after the release of WordPress 3.Multilingual and easy publishing tools. 4.Quick and easy images and media uploading to WordPress.
The features which I dislike in WordPress are 1. Internal Search and filter feature which can be improved a lot. 2. Security also is something to be worried about. 3. Performance is something I guess should be improved. 4. Less widgets.
There are lots of new features and local announcements an events which are to be informed to a large number of people in the organisation . For this we need to write a blog and circulate the links among the employees for learning and knowing about the things happening in the organisation. For this purpose WordPress serves as a tool which helps us achieve this.
I love the compatibility of WordPress. I was able to purchase a blog them on my own and then use it with the program. It allows people more freedom to use templates and designs that are more unique to themselves.
Some of the navigation behind the scenes is sometimes difficult to use. I think that the entire setting, etc. needs to me streamlined and updated... I don't find it super user-friendly.
I have a blog through WordPress and that allows me to market myself and my work as a designer in a very professional capacity. It has given me freedom to create a website without coding, and one that is unique to me.
Word Press offers an exceptional platform to build from for beginning bloggers. It is easy to learn, and applicable to many other platforms for future business or freelance work.
There are points where Word Press glitches, and you have to retype or re-submit different articles that you had previously entered. Sometimes it is a user error, but there are times when it is the websites fault. Not a major issue, but one that can be stressful at times if you are pressed to make a deadline.
I do quite a bit of freelance writing, and it provides a platform to not only showcase my personal talents, but to market certain products.
Wordpress is the best way to customize your website.
Some of the plugins are finicky, but overall the experience is great.
None currently.
There is so much I love about WordPress. The massive ecosystem, extensibility, flexibility, and enormous community of people using it and sharing ideas. While other platforms will tout "newer" or "cutting edge" technology, that usually means they're more complicated or more likely to break (or not work as expected). There are other solutions that may be "easier" to get started, but ultimately that means you're giving up significant control over what you can do in the long run.
I do think some of the underlying technology needs updating, but I fully understand the difficulty in updating this technology when it's so widespread and affects so many people.
Website design, development, and maintenance. Web app design, development, and maintenance. WordPress is everything for our digital home base.
Wordpress is simple to use and it's easy to make it do whatever you need it to do.
It has a slight learning curve at the beginning.
Wordpress provides a platform that is usable for most people and is fairly easy to learn.
Usability and many plugins that can be added.
Security problems if not kept always up to date.
We used WP to create a wiki for partners
I love how easy it is to customize Everything. Endless options.
Not much actually... You have to know a little bit to be able to make it work.
I am able to reach people with my stories and information in a creative way.
As a web developer, I appreciate how customizable Wordpress is. It is also user friendly, which is a huge win for my clients.
Since it is popular, you have to monitor security closely. Hackers target the platform and plugins.
I have built ~50 websites on Wordpress for a variety of clients, large and small. It is easy for them to use, and easy for me to implement.
There are so many different themes that offer a vast amount of flexibility for personal or business use. Using plugins and basic programming can make any website exactly the way you want to represent your business. Moreover, it is easy to get Google Analytics to recognize WP sites, which improves readership and attracts advertisers.
Some web hosting companies do not allow administrators do their own updates; it is more than inconvenient. While this is not an issue for WordPress itself, users should be aware of this problem and make a determination how much control they want to have on their own site(s).
I use WP.org for personal use and for business. For business purposes, we have 5 newspaper sites, we also build and maintain sites for multiple clients. Using the easy backend composer makes it easy to create successful and profitable sites.
