WordPress.org Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice

It is very user friendly, and is a clean and simple site.

I don't like its simplicity for some of the more complex things I would like it to do.

It helps promote a clean and simple site for our audience.

It lets me set my website up the way I want it instead of having a few programs and options to choose from. I guess it lets me customize it and I am a very picky person.

It's a little bit difficult to use, you need to get the hang of it. Also, you ave to save, then re-open multiple times just to see what changes you made and what it looks like. I know the more we start bringing in the drag and drop the less options we have, so I don't know if there's a way for it to be fully diversified AND easy. But it's not tOO bad. I just wish it had a little, "help, how do you do this" or "what do these tabs mean". I guess I just need to work at it. It's a great website, believe me.

SEO optimiation. I am realizing the automatic slug-grade is a good way to determine if people are going to find my website and if it is dense with information. It's solving my need for a website that I can diversify. I can make multiple pages.

So EASY! Never any issues with posting, formatting, etc.

I'd love more templates/designs. Nothing else!

Blogging. Very simple and easy to navigate!

I like the options that it provides for adding various widgets or changing the settings to maximize each page.

It can get a bit cumbersome. While the options are great the layout on the back end is not always the most intuitive

Our website is entirely on a Wordpress platform

I like the ease of use of Wordpress.org. It puts the power of web design into anyones hands. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to build a professional looking website.

It can have more options as far as free themes and plug-ins. There is definitely a learning curve to use the more advanced options wordpress offers.

I have realized that it solves the problem of having to pay a web developer to create a website for you. There is a simply way of creating your own without having to outsource that work for you.

The options! Wordpress.org has fantastic options for themes, fonts, etc. It gives users a great chance to be creative and tailor their site/blog to their business/brand/personalities.

Some of the themes can be difficult to work with.

Wordpress has helped solve lead generation problems, and SEO problems. It's helped create a space to connect to potential leads, as well as offer help and tips on how to improve SEO which also creates leads.

Can be made as simple or complex as needed. Integrates with other platforms and APIs beautifully.

Not good for ecommerce. Otherwise it handles most functionality we throw at it.

Most types of websites except for ecommerce.

Great platform if you need to make a simple site and don't have time to waste on building a simple site from scratch

Templates can be restricting and tricky to modify the css so make sure you understand your website needs

N/a

I absolutely love WordPress. Blog function is very easy to use, especially for beginners. Some other programs require lengthy codes, but everything links, photos, etc can be inserted with ease. The site is also mobile friendly. If you are wanting to build your own personal site and business, WordPress is the way to go!

Honestly, there is not much to say about what I dislike because the program is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. If there was one thing I would complain about, it would be the updates that come from time to time. It can be a pain to try and get everything up to date with the program.

It benefits specifically towards smaller business or building up your own brand. The site is professional and does not cost a fortune to keep up.

I appreciate the ease of creating a beautiful webpage.

I dislike the organization of the buttons.

I realized that this is not as user friendly as other sites.

WordPress is highly customizable directly out of the box. Within seconds of deployment you can immediately start publishing or importing content from a previous source. 3rd party support means iterating on design and features is as simple as clicking a checkbox from the built in plugin directory.

WordPress is open source to a fault at times. If you are not sure what plugins or themes you are looking for, you can easily spend a lot of time downloading and installing features that will weigh down your site and experience. Reading reviews and understanding your needs are paramount to succeeding with this platform.

WordPress allows us to assign employees roles that reflect their status within our publication. We can quickly assign an intern to publish an article, and assign someone else to edit and publish. This means we routinely have content pending to be published around the clock.

I love the ease of the layout on Wordpress. It's simple to navigate!

I honestly don't have any complaints! I enjoy using Wordpress completely.

Being able to allow multiple people to access the same platform saves hours and hours each week.

Creating websites is as easy! From no coding experience to a grisly veteran, everyone can find what they're looking for with WordPress. The backend is easy to use. Most themes are well built and fully customizable.

Some themes are great. Some are horrible.

WordPress allows us to build custom sites for our clients on time and at a reasonable budget. It's flexible, fully customizable, there's a plugin for every need, and it's intuitive for clients to use.

Wordpress has so much versatility and is incredibly easy to use. I think Wordpress should be seen as the first point of trial for any web dev and CMS needs.

There may be too many options. Trying to sort through all of the templates can be a bit tedious and definitely time-consuming.

In-House web development and content changes. Don't have to outsource or use HTML only pages to get content across for business website.

I love that I can have a free blog at wordpress, and write about my experiences in the classroom. I can show off student work, and collect feedback easily.

I don't really love the long URL, but I'm not willing to pay to have a shorter one.

I'm communicating with families as well as other teachers about what's happening in the classroom, and it's a great way for the kids to feel proud of their work. I love being able to show parents and other teachers what's happening in the classroom, which I think is far more important than the finished project.

I love the flexibility of the platform and the huge variety of high quality plugins. For clients with low budgets, the availability of quality, well-documented themes is a plus. Additionally, due to its popularity, it's the easiest platform for which to find proven freelance help or just solid online help forums and other resources.

Wordpress is built on relatively old technology.

For one project, I needed to be able to provide easy editing to non-tech-savvy users in the client organization (a church). Wordpress is perfect for that scenario.

It is open source, self-hosted, versatile, scalable and reliable.

Because of its popularity, it is a well known target for cyber-attacks.

This is the standard solution to build and develop a proper website solution for a corporation. One of the advantages is the huge community behind this project.

I love how simple the interface is. I've researched many blog sites to begin my own blog, and I always go back to WordPress due to the ease of access.

I do believe that the settings to edit the blog layout is a bit hidden.

An excellent place to write and share fashion finds and trends.

I like the user-friendly interface Wordpress offers. I can train employee with no web design experience who to use Wordpress in one day and they do not need to know how to code to make website edits.

Not all themes are created alike. I have used a few different themes that have drag and drop building options. A lot of other themes do not offer this. They require you to only use their layout and follow their pre-determined template. I also do not like how the header and footer options are in two different places and they are hard to find. The appearance settings should all be together from the top to the bottom of the page. The footer options are hidden somewhere and you have to dig around for them.

I was able to build a website for a large corporation quickly without having to hire full stack developers and it allows me to train people with no web design knowledge how to make changes to the site.

I like how user-friendly WordPress is. It's easy for anyone to create a website.

I don't dislike anything about WordPress. I've been using it for years with no problems at all.

My WordPress website helps me get new customers for my writing business.

I love the simplicity of setting up and designing websites on Wordpress. Their support team is top of the line and they have very informative information for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

The mobile app needs improvement. Plus trying to activate certain plugins are a bit buggy.

They make an outstanding host for my website and have a plethora of features and plugins that optimize it to the best it can be.

As an open source CMS, WordPress allows for tons of flexibility in creating a unique corporate, informational, lead generating website. With it's wide range of plugins, it can also support lots of other features and functionalities.

The open source nature of WordPress leads to many security holes and lots of maintenance to keep sites patched and up to date. Plugins can also be hit or miss.

We use WordPress to create visually stunning websites for a wide variety of businesses.

WordPress is super dynamic. You can build anything from a startup website with only a few pages to an enterprise-level site with multiple subdomains.

The backend styling differs, but that is mostly dependent on who built the site — not really a WP problem.

WP facilitates inbound marketing perfectly. The benefits of plug-ins are huge. There is a free solution to nearly everything we want to add to our/our clients' sites.

I like the fact that is very easy to learn and very easy to manage once the website is complete. It is very flexible and you can do any design you want.

The dashboard can be a bit slow at times, so users need to watch their use of plugins and other third party tools

It is handling all our website needs. It is also connected to Google analytics and webmaster tools, so great all around for integrations

Everything. Amazingly empowering. So many possibilities and such ease of use. Love it for our own use and for our clients.

The standard interface has still too many options and routes to find all the settings and different pages. A lot of that of course can be customised but it would be interesting to find ways to make it easier to focus user's attention to just the bits they are using. Maybe a drag and drop or so.

Build and maintain websites, create content for websites.

I like how easy it is to trade between themes, add features, and use things that are in great websites even without being a seasoned coder.

Bugs within different themes, there are so many themes nowadays, there isn't a ton of regulation.

I updated our Blog using WordPress. We needed to update our Blog to be more in line with our current updated website.

The backend admin is simple enough almost any client can understand. It's easy to work with at any level from a developer standpoint. The community around it is fantastic, there is always someone willing to help. It's powerful enough to use for almost any web project.

There is nothing I dislike about WordPress, WordCamp or the community behind it.

We build fully custom WordPress themes and plugins to fit our client's needs. A solid platform like WordPress eases the development costs by being a consistent, always enhancing features while maintaining backwards compatibility. It's a fantastic platform to build on. The code you write is reusable and easily applicable to other projects be them web apps or web sites in many forms. Recent additions to the platform make is useful as in the development of REACT and Angular Web apps with deep integration of the REST API endpoints into WP core. We build 98% of all web projects on the WordPress platform. The other 2% are just simple html/css tools.

The flexibility to purchase templates elsewhere and then customize them to fit my needs. There are so many available templates and updating my website is as simple as purchasing a new template and installing it--the content can stay the same.

The interface not always user-friendly; sometimes I spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly where to find the feature I need.

WordPress allows me to maintain my own website without having to hire outside help. This allows me to express my own creativity through the site, make changes whenever I need to, and saves me money.

Wordpress is very straightforward and easy to use. Any time I've had an issue with it, I've been able to resolve it quickly.

Sometimes it is difficult to do things that should be easy, like track page views

I solved the problem of getting my information out there to the public. I use it so people can see events I have coming up (I do comedy) and to view videos and pictures. This has helped me get more work.

WordPress is highly user-friendly and intuitive-- it didn't take long at all for me to figure out how to use it. I also liked that I can edit my site through the computer or my phone.

Limited room for creativity and social networks

It's a great outlet for branding-- it allows you to create blog posts and maximize company exposure through a sleek format.
