I really enjoy using WordPress for my website; it's very user-friendly.

Comments: My overall experience with WordPress has been exceptionally positive. Its user-friendly interface, versatile tools, and seamless functionality have made managing my website a thoroughly enjoyable and efficient process.

Pros:

I like adding and editing articles, as well as scheduling them. I appreciate how seamless it is to use, especially when adding categories.

Cons:

I wish to have some tools that can help me manage my articles, especially when I'm adding photos and text.

WORDPRESS IS USERFREINDLY CMS

Comments: Quite good and for initial learn most of things.

Pros:

Easy to use, make website faster and user-friendly.

Cons:

Drag and drop with the help of eliminator.

Why we use Wordpress...although there aren't many other free options

Comments: Wordpress is fairly simple to navigate and we had over five websites built using their platform. We still use Wordpress, rather than Wix, GoDaddy etc, but the new Gutenberg update has caused us problems with updating our websites. The themes don't seem to work and Wordpress is constantly asking us to use WPBakery Page Builder which we don't need so it gets pretty annoying when you can't update properly.

Pros:

Wordpress is free to use and easy to understand as you get started on building your website for personal use of for a company. The options to customize the webiste using different themes is endless and Wordpress even give you some free templates to start with. Definitely a great place to start when building a website.

Cons:

Wordpress was a bit clunky to start with but it was fairly simple to navigate. They then updated it to Gutenberg and we've had more and more problems with updating our websites. The themes don't seem to work and Wordpress is constantly asking us to use WPBakery Page Builder which we don't need so it gets pretty annoying when you can't update properly.

It's free, easy-to-use and ideal for building great websites

Comments: WordPress helps me to design websites for my customers on Fiverr and in my location easily. It's a time-saver.

Pros:

WordPress as per my experience offers the best website content management solutions for individuals and large businesses to set up professional websites even with no skills in PHP, CSS, or Javascript. It's easy to use and very flexible too. It's fully translated into more than 60 international languages among which English and French are my primary languages. With its multi-language support, I can easily work on websites for clients in English & French-speaking zones.WordPress strives to provide quality and a great speed performance experience to users which makes it a reliable platform for large websites like eCommerce stores.WordPress also offers a comprehensive repository of great plugins and themes that are one-click ready to install and customize. It's not perfect but, I prefer it over a few others.

Cons:

There is not enough support for users (other than answers from the WP forum itself).

The Best Website Builder

Pros:

WordPress is a website builder for everyone. You can without any experience in tech build a website for your self really fast, even the blog section is wonderful, easy to use and contains many great themes.

Cons:

there is nothing about WordPress that i would complain about

WordPress Developer Review

Pros:

Flexibility and the plugins, able to customize also

Cons:

How heavy it can be when installing a lot of plugins

Great web content management platform

Comments: One of the best web platforms on the market, weather it is blog or e-comm shop, there is always easy solutions to find for yourself.

Pros:

Easy to operate and publish content on the web. We use it on dozens of website throughout the years, easy to deploy and friendly for clients to manage themselves.

Cons:

Integration with cheap plugins is sth be aware of. Causing lot of issues and conflicts. If premium versions are utilized it is a good option.

WordPress for Web Developers

Pros:

As a Web Developer, I work with WordPress on daily basis. The best part about it is that it's highly customisable and you can integrate a huge variety of plugins to modify its default behavior, and if not, then create your own custom plugin. You don't need coding at all to build websites and in just a few hours you can set up a whole ecommerce site.

Cons:

Sometimes when the site crashes, wordpress doesn't show the exact error that is causing it. The platform just goes blank and you have to go deep into each and every plugin to see what is causing the problem.

Wordpress is the best CMS out there

Comments: I love WordPress for the development of websites. , makes me deliver to my clients on time so it really cuts my development time by over 50% and it easy to integrate with other tools.

Pros:

Easy to integrate with other tools using plugins.

Cons:

The default block editor is not user friendly like page builder like elementor.

WordPress Review

Comments: my overall experience with WordPress is very good and I really suggest everyone.

Pros:

It really helps us to create websites easily. Especially when you deploy your WordPress application as Docker container. You can immediately start designing your website after it.

Cons:

More plugins for customizing your website can be added into WordPress ecosystem. But since it's an opensource tool, I cannot expect huge amount of plugins.

There is a reason it is the most commonly used

Comments: I've been on teams that have built and managed sites doing tens of millions of visits a month on heavily customized instances of WordPress, all the way down to personal pet projects that get single digit visits a month. It's the only CMS I consistently recommend.

Pros:

The ecosystem built around WordPress is second to none. Every front end developer is familiar with WordPress. There are multiple plugin options for just about anything you could ever want to do. Most importantly, it's open source and therefore free. Some people are deterred by open source, but WordPress powers a third of the Internet, it isn't going anywhere.

Cons:

It can be a bit of a pain in the butt to do certain things. For example, if you want to use it as a CMS for a larger site and not just a blog, the out of the box configuration needs customization. Also, they recently switched to a fundamentally new way of doing things "Gutenberg" and it is not without its warts. Over time this will improve.

Wish is was simpler to use

Comments: My overall experience with wordpress is good I still use it for my business, great features but a little to difficult to use especially for someone with little to no knowledge on designing and customizing a website for their business.

Pros:

There are great features in Wordpress, the free website is very useful. I used the free and paid plans. I think wordpress for me the free website sometimes comes like a paid website I am still able to reach people, well maybe not as much as the paid website. But it is still very useful.

Cons:

It gets a bit complicated to use at times. It took me quite sometime to actually figure out how to use it and I have and still use wordpress for 2 years and no doubt I still have a difficult time using it for my business.

Making a Website That You Control Has Never Been Easier

Comments: I have been very happy with WordPress. I taught myself how to navigate the platform and there are so many great resources out there for people to learn.

Pros:

How quickly and easily I can set up a site for someone and teach them to manage it on their own. I hate in my industry that may developers sometimes hold sites for ransom more or less.

Cons:

There is a learning curve to it but once you learn the basics you are set! I love that they offer so many plug-ins as well. You can do things that used to take a fortune to get coded all yourself.

Wordpress Review

Comments: Overall, it has been a great experience. I found once you get over the learning curve it is a really powerful and great tool for developing websites. There are tons of options and I have found that there is a plugin for any type of website you are designing.

Pros:

The biggest Pro for me is the Wordpress Community. I found that most of the time I can get on the Wordpress forums and get answers to my questions. Rarely have I found that my issues were unique. There always seems to be someone that had the problem before and has given a solution. When I have posted questions on different forums I usually get really good responses and people tend to follow through until the issue gets resolved.

Cons:

The amount of plugins in the Wordpress repository. I do find it frustrating sometimes trying to find a good plugin. There are a lot of choices and trying to test and figure out which are of good quality and one that aren't can be really time consuming. If there was a better way to review and rate the plugins that would be really great.

If you can think in any tiny way like an engineer (and not just the end user), WordPress is the best

Comments: WordPress is the only way to build a website, as far as I'm concerned. A business is not a template of another company--it's as individual as its website should be.

Pros:

I've built sites in Squarespace, Wix, hand coded old school in Adobe Dreamworks, and much older versions of WordPress without all the WYSIWYG platforms, and WordPress is by far the easiest, most comprehensive, and most flexible of all the platforms. It's a truly customizable CMS that has the capacity for stunning websites. There are so many great integrations for online businesses, including mail servers, online booking, and online stores.

Cons:

Like the title says, it's not intended for non-engineers/developers. Squarespace and Wix use more intuitive language and auto mobile settings, but they have massive limitations in what's possible. Just wrap your head around WordPress using any of the thousands of how-to videos online, and you'll be building like a pro in no time.

WordPress is my go to source for web sites. It is an excellent platform on which to build websites.

Comments: The benefits are these: 1. User-friendly platform.
2. Ease of installation.
3. Ease of theme installation.
4. Ease of publishing blog posts.
5. Promotion of my small business fits the WordPress environment perfectly.
6. I've been able to increase my web master skills above and beyond what I would have been able to do with only HTML web sites in terms of developer skills and cosmetic appearance of the web sites. It has increased my technical abilities.
7. Having a Content Management System is, in my opinion, the only way to go when building small business web sites for all the reasons listed here. It gives me great versatility when I put on my thinking cap to create something new.

Pros:

WordPress is one of the most used blogging platforms on the web for some very good reasons: 1. Hosting platforms are familiar with WordPress and offer easy install tools with their hosting packages. 2. Thousands of free themes available. 3. Thousands of free plug ins available. 4. The capability of being a full-service Content Management System is the most useful to me as I transitioned from HTML web sites web master to a WordPress web master. The reasons above scratch the surface of the outstanding features of WordPress as a web site platform. Here are some more reasons to use this software: 1. User-friendly out of the box. With each new upgrade, the front end development becomes easier to operate with fewer technical skills needed for guest bloggers, admins, etc. 2. The user can choose from the easier to use theme to most technically difficult - it is entirely up to the user to make these choices. 3. The WordPress sites can easily be transformed and upgraded by use of new themes and color schemes. 4. The WordPress forums are probably the best maintained forums of anywhere on the web. It is a nicely supportive community.

Cons:

As the years have passed, I think WordPress has grown complicated with regard to the plug ins. At first they seemed like a wonderful thing...until I realized the potential incompatibility of the wide array of plug ins available. It has increasingly limited my use of plug ins because I'm not a full-fledged developer who knows the PHP code. So I find myself at the mercy of the plug in authors and most don't offer direct support unless you pay for their premium versions. So then, there are the plug in forums (if they exist) which can be responsive or non-responsive and all points in between. One has to be very careful to balance out plug ins because many of them have code and features included that you don't need yet it takes up space on your site in terms of SEO and hosting. I've come to the conclusion that with plug ins (unless you love to sit and tweak your site endlessly which I don't) less is more.

WordPress is the universal CMS

Comments: Excellent product and overall experience. WordPress helped me build out several sites and in general get a feel for web design. I'm a digital marketer, so I mostly do edits and not full-blown buildouts, but even those are easy with this CMS. I highly recommend WP for anything but large scale e-commerce.

Pros:

Without a doubt, the biggest thing about WordPress are all the plugins that are available. Whatever you end up wanting to do with your Wordpress website, there's a big chance that there's already a plugin for it, which not only allows you to perform complex operations without any coding knowledge, but provides you with additional tools to fully customise the setup. With WordPress the sky is the limit to what you can do and its often a matter of being able to find plugins and tinkering with them until you've added a desired functionality. Since it might not be fair to talk only about plugins of third parties, while reviewing the WordPress CMS (although they are a big reason it is so good), I'll also try and cover some of the things I like about the platform itself. Firstly, it is an ever evolving one and there are constant updates. I remember when I first used WordPress and began editing and later building a few websites some 5 years ago. Back then the CMS was more basic and you would often need some coding skills to get around. Fast forward to today, themes and plugins have advanced greatly and there is far less need for actual coding - it's being done by third parties. WordPress themselves have done a great job at improving the CMS in terms of content editing capabilities for regular posts.

Cons:

The core of the CMS could be expanded more to include popular options you get with plugins. Third party plugins can sometimes slow down a website or conflict with one another due to coding incompatibilities. Because of this and the fact that WP can get cluttered with a bunch of plugins and you eventually end up with a backend that's hard to navigate, I think they should expand on the core a lot more than they have been.

A great self-hosted blogging system to power your site

Comments: I have started using Wordpress about a year ago to power my website as I did not have time to design it via code and i also did not want to have to pay for a developer. I installed a Bitnami AMI on an Amazon EC2 micro instance, and it ran very well and surprised me with the response times. Once i started looking at themes I found tons of really nice, visually stunning, and pixel-perfect themes, that once coupled with a few plugins, let me build a site that I still can't believe "I" made, and updating is easier than writing this review, I am serious. After I got my site up and running, I had a friend that wanted to make a social media site, so by using WordPress, the BuddyPress plugin, a social oriented theme and a few more plugins, we had a site that I personally think was easier to use and better looking than facebook, with the same features as facebook,, and offered full integration with facebook, linked-in, google +, and a few other sites. We were even able to offer webmail through the site, making it a one stop portal. We did this with 0 prior programming experience, for free.

Pros:

It can be obtained and operated for 0 upfront and maintenance fees by using the AWS EC2 1 year trial, and is very easy to deploy onto a server, with images available to have you running with a few clicks. Wordpress is simple to use and administer, and amazingly powerful once you start looking into plugins, quite literally every idea you dream up has been put together with a plugin, you have the power to do so much with it. So, fast install, easy to use, VERY easy to administer and update, and extremely powerful.

Cons:

Out of the box, wordpress is a blog, and it has just a cheapish, free software/shareware type feel to and is just bland, but with a bit of effort, it can be awesome. I wish they would include an easy to use theme maker for it, or offer a built in yearly theme that is more website oriented than just blog oriented, considering how many people use wordpress to power full sites.

The good, the bad and the conclusion

Comments: If you are a simple person like me, and beginning the process of creating a new website without needing to know advanced skills, you will definitely want to start out with Wordpress, since its interface is easy to use. I believe the benefits outweigh the few disadvantages, having in mind that even if content such as plugins and themes are vulnerable to security risks, Wordpress still offers a wide range of this content like no other platform. Remember, the platform is intuitive and highly customizable; The Wordpress dashboard, where you will be managing all of the content in your page, contains all the options to customize key functions. It takes some time to become familiar with all the management options, but once you have done so, you will fully improve your abilities to enhance the personality and design of your content.

Pros:

Nowadays, Wordpress is the most used platform when it comes to building new websites, and its first major advantage is that it is cost effective. The cost of customization tools available and the maintenance expenses are outweighed by the profit you'll earn in the long run. In addition, it is an SEO friendly platform, meaning that the coding used enables you to customize the components of pages that you want to rank higher in search engines.

Cons:

That due to being an open source platform, it is vulnerable when it comes to security. Plugins and themes can be developed by different persons and companies around the world, meaning that there is no way to monitor their contents. They can very easily contain harmful coding or bugs within them. Also, for the same reason that it is open-sourced, Wordpress does not offer support, and if you have no basic knowledge of programming, coding, designing, etc, you will have to seek help at the online forums.

Easy to use, but some work to be done

Comments: In gereral, we have been working with wordpress for almost one year, and they are definitely a company that we look up to. We are very happy with our product and the customer service was always top notch at answering our needs during the process.

Pros:

Wordpress is a user-friendly app in general, but you need to know what you are doing. They are probably the best website builder in the market for both beginner/intermediate to more advanced designers. You can basically build any template you wish and this can be applied to whatever industry your business is in. You need a few guidelines, which are well provided by the platform and you can easily get the final product that you have wished for.

Cons:

Even with great templates, there is still some complex functionalities in general in order for you to get where you want to be. In my case, we needed some programming as well, as the default templates did not offer exactly what we were looking for. In the end, we were able to get exactly what our web designers first brainstormed. We are still having some issues with the API/ICAL connection, but this may be an issue from our programmer or channel manager and not Wordpress.

I love WordPress for writing, design and for empowering me to build decent user experiences

Pros:

I've been working with WordPress for about 6 years now. I've improved my skills quite a bit on the platform, and I know when to get a professional designer or developer on a project when I am out of my depth. whether it's adding content to a website that someone else designed, or even writing simple blogs on my minimalist website, WordPress just makes life easier. Great extensibility with free and premium plug-ins and there are great SEO/traffic reporting tools and complementary apps to upgrade my website. I've been using a Genesis theme for a number of years, and it's been great. There are many premium apps to make it easy to have a decent looking, mobile responsive, SEO optimized website on WordPress. Lots of hosting options, and lots of talent available to customize to your heart's content.

Cons:

I've had some issues with conflicting plugins a few times which blocked me from uploading images, or disabled parts of websites I've worked with. It's quite affordable to hire a WordPress PHP developer to fix things, customize CSS or do other development. It's worth getting an expert to strut their technical stuff from time to time. I know developers and designers that are great at what they do, and they earn their fees. I've tinkered with theme files a few times and caused messes which required restoring a backup. There's a lot of WordPress support info out there in their vast open community, and you have to be cautious about what you put into action. Keeping up to the latest version of WordPress and plugins is well worth automating or outsourcing. I've had customizations break with upgrades which can be a pain.

Best in bests, Very productive and functional with ease of use

Comments: I am using WordPress since 2013 to create websites, pages and my own personal blog. I started using it when I didn't know web development and WordPress empowers me to make my own website. It was very easy to learn it and make a website that I want. I have made so many websites for my friends and some of my clients and everyone is very happy with its quick construction, easy to use builders and variety of themes and plugins which can be installed and customized with a click. It helped me to succeed. I always recommend WordPress for web development to my friends because of its ease to use, versatility and power to build anything in low cost.

Pros:

WordPress allows making blogs, websites, pages, e-commerce sites and even a social network. It’s so powerful. One of the huge advantage of working with WordPress is, it's very cheap and quick to build a website or blog. It is open source so it’s free to install it on a self-hosted server just by a click. I had a business idea so making a website with WordPress took no time, just installed it and applied a theme and it’s good to go. Another advantage of WordPress is its plugins. There are so many WordPress plugins which allows WordPress to add more functionality. The basic installation of WordPress allows to create pages, websites, show contents and manage content from the backend. WordPress is a really strong blogging engine so you can have your own blog and accept comments from visitors, so that’s what is in the WordPress core. But if you want to capture leads or a calendar or a signup form or a nice looking slider or whatever you can think of; you can build using WordPress Plugins, which is a huge advantage and most of the plugins to add features to WordPress website are free. Third advantage is its standard for CMS. There are a lot of free resources online where you can learn how to make a WordPress website or blog. A huge WordPress developers community and resources are available to provide support for free, so what do you want if you can get things done for free which is a huge huge advantage.

Cons:

As WordPress is free so it doesn't mean to create a website using WordPress will work forever without updating. To make it work properly it may need monthly or quarterly updates to pages, theme and plugins because these things receive updates from companies which developed these awesome themes and plugins. If you don't update them time to time your website can become slower, and sometimes a plugin change in the update may break website with is very awful sometimes. So make sure to update theme and plugin on time. Another disadvantage is of WordPress is, as it is free so there is a lot of demand for WordPress and sometime you need to build a website which is right for now but after a couple of months or a year when your business expands and you want to make changes to the website, so you may need an expert to do it for you; which is very hard to find the real expert. Because everyone knows how to make a website with WordPress and customize it but very less of them are truly WordPress experts and can do what exactly do you want. So before building a website for your business using WordPress first meet an expert, discuss your requirement and ask for help so that he can guide you well to select a great theme and supported plugin for your website, So that if you may want to make changes to your website in future when you scale your business; you can do it easily with a very low cost.

Wordpress is the Swissarmy knife of CMS

Pros:

Wordpress is one of the best CMS (content management system) platforms out there, have used it to personally develop and host over 30 sites over a 7 year period and it just works. Some of the best features of Wordpress include: 1) Downloadable Themes - These are basically templates for Wordpress sites, you can look through the many thousands online and find a design that suits your Wordpress site or you can have one developed. 2) Plugins - Wordpress has the best plugins period! 3) Ease of use - When setting up a self hosted Wordpress site, you can add plugins and themes quickly and almost seamlessly. Wordpress is relatively easier to use than hard coding an HTML site, and it is also easier to update than traditional HTML and other CMS platforms. 4) Customization - You can create almost any kind of site with Wordpress, the level of customization from plugins, to themes to editing the code make this a CMS with almost endless possibilities. 5) Built In features - Wordpress as a CMS has some great built in features, like the ability to create posts and pages on the fly, add images and media files, manage SEO of specific posts and also manage comments on the site all without installing anything else.

Cons:

Wordpress works great in most cases but it still has a lot of issues that can be annoying to deal with. 1) Backups can be a hustle if you don't have a plugin to use. Since Wordpress itself does not have automatic backups, if you do not install a plugin and run into some trouble, you are on your own. 2) Troubleshooting Wordpress is not an easy task - While it is easy to use, Wordpress is not easy to troubleshoot. In many cases, if you may need to simply reinstall Wordpress if you run into an error, which can mean losing valuable time and work. 3) Wordpress Themes don't always "work" - One thing about ease of use is the simple plug and play feel But with Wordpress themes, this is not always the case. If you install a theme, the default settings are not installed, you have to customize and tinker to get a site to look close to a demo. 4) A stale design for the Admin Portal - Wordpress admin areas are not customizable which means almost every Wordpress site has the same admin portal, there are plugins that can help with some customization but it is a shame that this is not just built into Wordpress itself. 5) Cleaning up - While Wordpress is easy to use, cleaning up if you install a number of plugins and themes is not as easy as it looks. You may have to have Cpanel access to delete files or select them individually in the respective areas to get them deleted.

Integrates with Everything

Comments: We manage our company website through WordPress using an add-on that formats the template and widgets we need. We currently have a 1 page website for a clean and simple look. We have all of the pages we need: contact info, client endorsements, client logos, about us, etc. More complexly, we have a page where clients can upload audio files, and a portfolio section where people visiting our website can listen to the audio we've produced. It has served our needs quite well.

Pros:

This software is clean and mostly user friendly and the widget integration resources available make this software quite powerful. You don't have to know much (or anything) about the world of coding in order to set up and maintain a simple website using Wordpress. This makes web design customizations much easier to manipulate for those with no ability to write code. There are tons of built in templates to choose from and lots of integrations you can pull into Wordpress to create what you are looking for.

Cons:

Because there is so much in the widget and integrations space that works with Wordpress, this can get buggy. For example, we had an integration that was supposed to help monitor our site in case of an issue, and this feature instead caused our site to crash. Additionally, we use a template on top of Wordpress, so we have to be very careful not to edit from the main dashboard but only edit through that built on layer... otherwise, we risk loosing changes and making a mess of things. To use more than the basic platform, some knowledge is required. The options are endless, which means things can get complex quickly. Keeping it simple is best for those without much background in this space. Backing up your latest version of your website is always reassuring.
