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
