"The best platform to create websites in an easy, fast and free way"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is an easy and intuitive platform. It is possible to create simple or very complex sites. Thanks to the countless plugins you can do what you want. The interface is quick and easy. I started from scratch and it was very easy with WordPress. Now I use it to create pages on which I collect contacts.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

It's hard to tell what you don't like about WordPress because it's all useful. Often some plugins have a lot of settings to set, even if they are already set by default. But every single setting serves to make everything work at its best.

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

WordPress helps me to be autonomous in the management of my websites. So I can set everything and also install the code, as well as the Facebook Pixel, essential for my business.

"So easy for anyone to set-up and get going"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is really easy for almost anyone to set-up and build a website. I had absolutely no experience of building a website, and within a couple of days and with no training, was able to build something pretty decent. Once you get the hang of it, you can get more and more sophisticated, add various plug ins etc.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

To be honest, there's not a lot of negatives. It feels like you get out of it what you put in... so if you're not prepared to put in the time, you might be frustrated and limited in what you can do. Some interfaces are not super intuitive, but if you're happy to click and learn, it all falls into place.

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

Wordpress is basically the engine behind my company's website. It acts as a landing page for potential buyers, and a funnel to get them into my sales pipeline.

"I've build sites in many CMS systems over 20 years, WordPress remains my favorite"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Easy to maintain; so many plugins & integrations; e-commerce with WooCommerce; Divi theme makes page design process quick; online community & documentation

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

This isn't a dislike, it's just the nature of self-hosted software that you have to do regular upgrades to keep things secure. So more maintenance required.

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

WordPress lets businesses from small to huge make a fast, attractive, scalable, feature-rich website without needing to spend a lot. Fast development time.

"WordPress is user friendly, can expand its capabilities with the help of plugins"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

User-friendly and has the option to install plugins as well as hooks to modify the core features. Also, we can develop our own plugin or theme if we know a little bit about PHP

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Some themes and plugins are way too heavy in size and as in result affect the website speed, also having many plugins installed opens the website to vulnerability.

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

Having no knowledge of coding, you can build your website with just drag and drop builder and many themes provide premade templates so your website can be up and running in no time. We have been using it the past couple of years and generating income with it.

"Best CMS - Super Customisable!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

How easy it is to install. It's super search engine friendly and can be customised to meet your needs. There are numerous free plugins to do almost anything but you can also edit templates yourself with limited programming knowledge.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There's really nothing to complain about. Of course things can go wrong if you don't know exactly what you're doing but a simple google search or using the forums at wordpress.org can often offer solutions.

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

Multiple installations on multiple websites. Wordpress is the only CMS I use, I can't see the need to use any others really but of course purely online shopping sites might suit other CMS options better.

Easy to use for end user and great for developers too. The community is huge! and the plugin marketplace super wide. Totally something you should look into when creating a simple website

"Most dependable, and versatile Website Platform? WordPress!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Hands down the immediate availability of support at WordPress is the best. If you have a question about anything their teams are there to help you. The platform is extremely versatile and competes with many of the newer service providers, yet has a broader base of integrated technologies to make your WordPress website, the most functional for you. By the way, if you are a seller, few website builders can compete with WordPress, especially if you have a large stock of services or items.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Although this is my preferred platform and I've worked with some of the current best competitors, I would say that the point-and-click functions on WordPress can seem a bit more clunky. Initially, compared to Squarespace for example, the point and click on the competitor's website is much more intuitive. While WordPress does have similar functionality, it isn't as robustly versatile for the novice, non-coding, web builder who may initially struggle with the user interface, which is a bit more liquid and friendly on other sites.

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

WordPress allows for easier integration of web development software from other platforms that make things like adding a forum, or larger shopping experiences, more accessible to you. Small businesses like mine, might pay more for a smoother start at competitor web development sites, but in the long run, the cost savings through WordPress are better.

"Best Content Management System (WordPress) for multi-purpose usage"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The best part of WordPress is it can be used for multi-purpose. I have 8 websites built on WordPress with different purposes like Blogging, Movies Streaming, E-Commerce, and Business website and all are working flawlessly. WordPress is free and open source so I can use it as per my requirements. WordPress is so easy to use and install. In the WordPress theme section, lots of Premium themes are available with just one click we can install them and use it that an awesome feature in WordPress. no need to build a website from scratch Just choose a theme and customize it. WordPress support 3rd party plugins that help me to do repetitive stuff automatically. WordPress has an HTML-rich editor. So, no need to do coding for styling the blog posts. WordPress URL structures are easy to change from a WordPress setting that looks professional as compared to the blogger. Easy to categorize posts according to tags. Post scheduling feature helps me to write posts in advance. It is one of the best website builders I have ever used.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I have nothing to dislike in WordPress. Everything is perfect. It would be great if they integrate Virustotal API in the theme or plugin uploading section so that the user can easily detect the virus and backdoor without falling into the hacker's trap.

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

WordPress is Multi-Purpose CMS that helps me to use it as per requirements. I am using WordPress for streaming videos, blogging, business and E-commerce. No other platform can do this. And the best thing is it is easy to use no technical knowledge is required to run a WordPress website.
