"The most complete and customizable web publishing platform"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress.org is hands down, the best platform for creating websites. What I like most is its flexibility and ease of use. I also like the fact that it has a wide variety of plug-ins that help us customize websites according to the needs, plus the wide variety of templates available makes it easy to find one that fits the current aesthetic needs. I also liked it in terms of security, as it is one of the safest platforms available to create a website; it offers constant updates to protect websites against security threats, in addition to already having many security plug-ins available.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Due to the wide variety of options and configurations, the platform becomes a bit overwhelming at first; new users may feel a bit disoriented at first; however, there is an excellent and large online community that can be very helpful in understanding and getting the most out of this tool.

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

The most significant benefit we find in using this tool is the creation and maintenance of websites. It is so easy to use and intuitive that no matter if we are beginners or experts in the field, we can do a great job and get the best custom websites in a matter of minutes. It has a wide range of functions, features and integrated resources that save significant time, effort and money in creating websites for the organization. Another advantage is its large community; it is easy to find help in the forums and tutorials available.

"Fool Proof Website/Content Management"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Wordpress is like the advanced version of a website builder. There are significantly more options than GoDaddy alone. As a novice website builder, someone not adept in coding, Wordpress makes it possible to create extremely visually pleasing, easy to navigate, productive websites. Additionally, the popularity of the platform makes it easy to locate online self help videos that enable you to learn and grow your knowledge.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I do not enjoy the fact that I have to create a secondary website for mobile phone viewing. While I understand the reasoning behind it, for the novice user it would be extremely helpful to have a "standard" option where wordpress automatically converts it like the other website builders do.

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

Removes the expensive need for you to hire a website designer and allows the user to roll what funds they would spend on website building back into their business. It frees up time and capital by making it simple to design and manage your own website.

"The Best Platform To Build Websites Fast With Zero Coding Experience"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

With wordpress.org, the sky is the limit. Whether you're an experienced programmer or a complete novice, you can build the website of your dreams. WordPress makes web design easy; by choosing a theme, you have a website. Now, after you are done with your theme, you can enhance the functionality of your website to meet your needs using plugins. If you want to collect emails, there is a plugin. If you want to customize the look and feel of your website, there is a plugin for that. If you want to track website visitors, there is a plugin. If you want to do anything on your website, with a few clicks, you'll find a plugin that does just so. The best thing about WordPress is its reliability of it. An excellent framework for website builders. The learning curve is short. Millions of resources teach the ins and outs of WordPress. Best software ever for website creation.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Everything a web developer needs can be achieved through WordPress. There is nothing wrong to say about it. And that is the bottom line. Lots of support and lots of resources to learn from.

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

Anytime I want to build a website fast, I use WordPress as my first choice. With WordPress, I can build an entire website that matches my needs exactly as I want it, in less than two hours.

"Great option for creating websites without too much coding skills"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The sheer amount of plugins. Plugins allow the basic WordPress framework do additional things and using these you can create a massive variety of different type of sites. My recent favorite plugin is Elementor - it essentially allows you to visually drag and drop elements to build webpages in a very easy way.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

As a popular option for creating websites, it has become a target for hackers etc. Luckily they keep the software updated and there's also other plugins which you can use to secure your websites. Other than that, some of the account roles was confusing to me for a while.

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

I can quickly build, design and deploy a website. This is great especially if you're creating landing pages to validate a business idea / product or working with clients who need custom website designs and features. Some hosting companies have "one click install" which makes it extremely quick to get up and running.

"WordPress is a fantastic CMS for everyone."
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

As a developer, I like that WordPress is an open-source content management system. It's a great feature of WordPress to have access to so many Free and Premium themes, which can be installed and used with just one click. Pick a piece, then make changes to it—no, there's a need to create a website from the start. Third-party plugins that WordPress supports allow me to automate tedious tasks and are helpful.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is a security problem in WordPress, it gets hacked very quickly, and when we use a lot of plugins, the website starts running very slowly.

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

I have created many websites in WordPress, like an e-commerce website and an informative one; it is easy to create a website in WordPress. Integration of third-party plugins improves the functionality of websites, and plugin integration is exceptionally straightforward.

"Very good tool for making websites"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I am a developer, and I love that WordPress is an open-source CMS platform, which makes the codebase to be constantly updated by the community, bringing improvements, security and innovation to the tool.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress is limited because it is a "template" that allows you to build an application above it, often consuming unneeded resources and features that can slow down your final app. You may consider another tool if you're looking for a highly customizable solution with performance.

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

Wordpress helped me build better websites for my customers with ease, its admin panel is very good to use, they are a huge platform that powers millions of websites and we can trust they.

WordPress is a free and open source to use. We can install it with one click on the server. The best thing is that it has many third-party plugins, making the work easier and faster. There is no complexity in UI Design. It has an excellent URL structure in comparison to a blogger. If you know some coding, then you can customize it easily as per your need.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is only one thing which irritating is its vulnerability. Attackers always try to log in, which locks the login page. But we can solve it using 3rd party plugins, so it is ok.

I am using WordPress to manage my client's website. WordPress has so many plugins which help in maintaining the website easily and automate the work as well. WordPress provides the best SEO to rankup your website.
