I like that Wordpress is such a well-known and established resource. This makes the system very easy to use because there are countless training resources online.
The admin dashboard and be overwhelming and confusing for first time users.
Wordpress is our CMS system for 2 different websites.
WordPress is the best Customization CMS platform as compared to other platforms. I have used almost all platforms but it is works like a charm. Its easy to use and customizable. Our mostly use case is to build e-commerce website and WordPress is the best solution to build e-commerce website in less ammount of time. WordPress have unlimited number of option to use e-commerce themes that makes the work more simple. No need to build websites from scratch. The awesome part is we can customise it as per our requirement. It supports n numbers pf plugins that makes our work more simple like it have Yoast Plugin that helps us to do SEO in a better and easy way. Its a multi purpose website platform we can build any kind on website on WordPress.
It has nothing to dislike. It works like a charm. Helps our business to build websites in less amount of time. There is some areas where some improvement is required like security but WordPress is continuously working on it.
Our business ise case is to build e-commerce website and WordPress helps us a alot it have unlimited number of option of premium e-commerce themes so we don't have to build the website from scratch and all themes are professional. Easy to customise as per client requirements.
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.
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.
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.
I like WordPress because it has very amazing option of drag amd drop, through which even i cam create design of my website without knowing any coding part. Also its public community is so helpful they always support me over forum.
In my point of view WordPress need to enhance it's security system.
WordPress is fast and reliable CRM that helps us building website quick. Also it helps us to showcase our service our Internet, its a perfect tool for building website.
I like WordPress user-friendly dashboard with powerful add-ons and plugins. I can make websites with few clicks, and that's very easy and simple for everyone.
Maybe speed of loading pages or has some speed-up plugin inside WP
One of my big problems was making a website with an automatic SMS panel inside the shop page to send messages automatically to clients; WordPress and REST-API were great!
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.
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.
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.
WordPress is the best website builder with many great functions, like pre-made themes. WordPress has a very great interface and can be installed easily with lots of options to customise.
WordPress is a great tool for building websites, and I do not have any complaints so far, as it does pretty much everything that I need.
WordPress is helping me maintain my business websites and update them on a regular basis without any issues, and along with it, the SEO tool provided by WordPress is helping my website grow at a very great speed.
Easy to maintain; so many plugins & integrations; e-commerce with WooCommerce; Divi theme makes page design process quick; online community & documentation
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.
WordPress lets businesses from small to huge make a fast, attractive, scalable, feature-rich website without needing to spend a lot. Fast development time.
You can modulate it the way you need with themes and plugins, easy to use and quick to understand, create a website then launch it live. Completely free if you use wordpress.org. Just amazing
Can be glitchy if you add too many plugins, or bad plugins
Creating pro websites fast, being able to easily secure it, work my SEO, monetize it
I like it is free, open-source and easily customisable.
Sometimes certain plugins doesn't work properly when Wordpress gets new update.
It is solving my problem of sales as earlier I didn't had any website.
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
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.
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.
Easy to use. Large amount of add ons and plugins. Well supported
It can sometimes be difficult to teach clients how to edit their websites. They get intimidated with all the tech.
It is solving the get online quick need. The benefit is more business.
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.
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.
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
A lot a security issues are reported to exploit Wordpress and many plugin vendors. Something you MUST keep in mind is rather to have a security strategy or a headless Wordpress approach
Creating websites for my clients in a fast manner. I'm able to create pretty complex projects in less than a week using Wordpress CMS, and I'm able to handoff to my client the project for them to manage the content
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The best platform for build website. With tons of plugins usefull for all customers.
Security issues by Hackers and spammers also the price of the plugins for protecting by them.
Generating thousand sites for all type of costumers and services.
The best thing is the versatility, the community and the large number of options you have to solve problems, I mean themes and plugins. i love all about wordpress
Actually I have no objections, of course everything can be improved, but it is a brand that improves from its community and everyone's improvements and opinions, wordpress goes a long way.
Costs, ease for the end customer, versatility and having many options to choose from.
It's ease of use even for a non-developer. I love that I can change plugins and themes as I need to when my business requires it.
It can seem a bit heavy at times. I don't always know how to best reach out to support when I don't know how to explain my exact issue.
I have a platform I can trust. Never a need to switch no matter what other website platforms are coming on the scene.
Wordpress is a great CMS tool ever made with a great open source community
For wordpress.com it is not fair to say that something is least helpful.
A great content menagement system with nowadays great hosting solutions.
