What is WordPress?
Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.
Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity
and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

We use a custom-built theme on top of WordPress platform. We also use a wide variety of WordPress plugins and integrations to complete our CMS stack including WooCommerce e-com store integration. We have a small marketing team and also several 3rd party resources that collaborate together through the platform for all website-related tasks including coding, order fulfillment, and basic edits through the WYSIWYG editor.
- Integrations
- Easy to Use Interface for Website Updates (WYSIWYG Editor)
- Blog Integration and Management
- The Backend Dashboard has become pretty bloated over time. Can be tough to navigate for non-experts.
- Plugin management - It's a struggle to constantly stay on top of your plugins, make sure they are compatible and updated, etc. A better way to manage them all would be very useful.
- More lightweight WYSIWYG editors - If you use an out of the box, or even customized standard template, the page weight can quickly grow and become cumbersome for speed, negatively impacting SEO scores.

WordPress is a great platform for hosting a Web Site and its content. It not only allows you to create a Web Site and manage its content but also to host Coupons, Blogs, and other features. It has been very good as a Marketing Web Site platform, including in situations where multiple Web sites are hosted for different Divisions.
- Coupons
- Blogs
- Web Pages
- Plug Ins
- It is a bit hard for non-technical users to administer it since the back end of WordPress involves PHP and JavaScript.
- Some users may not like the interface for composing and publishing content or may not remember to publish their work and leave it in Draft mode.
- There may be a need to further publicize the formal training program from WordPress with certifications. In past roles we have needed to document everything we do in it very closely and do a great deal of deskside coaching, more so than with other Web content platforms.

I was hired as a web developer with extensive experience to create a professional marketing and advertising platform (website) using WordPress. We required a platform similar to WordPress that would support several integrations, allow for flexibility, and yet offer frontend user-friendly usage. In order to improve the platform (website) we wanted to build, we also wanted an open source platform that allows backend coding customization. Finally, we needed a platform that would make it simple for us to fix the website SEO integration in accordance with our SEO requirements and for faster business growth.
One of the key reasons we chose to introduce WordPress was because of its ease of maintenance. We had fantastic success with WordPress because it was able to fix our problems and make our thoughts clear as we started the project.

- Allows coding customization eg. css
- Accept lots of plugins
- Beautiful interface and layouts
- SEO friendly
- WordPress and plugin updates conflicts needs to be well reconciled to prevent website errors
- Converting WordPress into an App should be the new focus for WordPress since Mobile App are mostly in use now
- WordPress payment gateway functionality should be more open to allow more payment gateways

As a developer WordPress saves me 80% development time. This Php-based CRM helps me to add custom design in the website very easily. WordPress is handy and easy to manage, even a person who doesn't have any coding experience can use WordPress. Ultimately WordPress helps us to manage our organization's website dynamically.
- Drag and drop option.
- Can add multiple plugins with no restrictions.
- Easy user management.
- Large community support.
- Need to improve security.

WordPress For The Win!
WordPress is our CMS (content management system) of choice for all our blog content properties. Administration is extremely easy since WordPress is operated as a SaaS and does not needed to be loaded on a centralized system.
- Flexibility - allows contributors to easily customize the content they are creating.
- Functionality - the ability to load various plugins within the environment bring about much-appreciated functionality (i.e adding contact forms, e-commerce front-ends, photo/video galleries, etc.).
- Security - WordPress as a platform runs more than 1/3 of the world's internet sites - with that in mind the community is laser-focused on maintaining high-security standards and ensuring that the platform is properly patched against security vulnerabilities.
- Better controls around the inclusion of 3rd party written plugins within the Plugin Directory - search functionality and classification hasn't changed much in the past few years.

WordPress helps our business to make it online easily. It is easy, flexible, and faster. WordPress helps me too. update posts easily as it doesn't require any coding knowledge. One of the best things is it has a proper user management system to create users and assign them as per the required roles.
- SEO Friendly
- No Coding Required
- Most of the plugins are free
- Need to fix security system, as many times i feel comprised in security.

In my experience, WordPress will, without warning, change your business plan to the free plan, ruining your website!

As of today Jan 29, 2022, I have used WordPress (.com, not .org) as my hosting platform for my website since 2016. I am paid up for the 1-year business plan, and it doesn't expire till May of 2022. I noticed the WordPress app logo on my phone changed from bright blue to dull blue a couple of days ago, but I didn't think much about it until I went to my website. I believe WordPress took it upon themselves to change my Business Plan to the "free" plan and now all my products in my eCommerce shop are gone! During my experience, the Hestia Lite theme was removed and, in my opinion, everything on my website has changed and it looks awful! I put over a year of work and hundreds of hours getting my website to look beautiful and now, I feel like all of that is lost! To my understanding, free plans don't have access to instant WordPress chat with technical support, so I have to email them and they don't reply on weekends so I believe this will take weeks to resolve. Personally, I am livid and disgusted with WordPress! I ADVISE YOU NOT TO USE WORDPRESS.COM! IN MY OPINION, USE ANOTHER WEB HOSTING SITE!
- In my experience, changing your website without your authorization.
- In my experience, I feel that WordPress does not ask permission before doing something.
- In my opinion, I believe WordPress does not allow instant chat technical support for "free plans".
- I believe WordPress should contact the owner of the website before requesting to make changes.
- I believe WordPress should offer instant chat for all plans not just for the business plan.

Best Sitebuilder Out There Period
WordPress allows creatives who know little to no code the ability to create stunning websites. In our case, [we have] two sites running simultaneously. Having WordPress was a huge money saver as we were able to build both sites from the ground up and customize both to meet our needs.
- Easy to use interface
- Lots of customization
- Constantly updating and improving
- Sometimes plugins conflict with each other
- I prefer the classic editor, so it has been an adjustment to manage our sites within the new interface.
- Sometimes basic settings are buried several levels deep, and until you learn where to navigate by repetition, it’s frustrating to try and find what you need

If you have a blog you can't go wrong with WordPress.
We use WordPress for our main website. Our blog is a huge part of our content and communications efforts and there is no better platform for hosting a blog than WordPress. Another reason is its ease of use and its compatibility with the rest of the marketing tools that we use. It's easy to maintain and to scale. And anything can be done pretty fast.
- Blog management.
- Website management.
- Website security
- Flexibility.
- Integrate with pretty much all marketing platforms.
- Constant updates.
- Page speed is not the best.
- Media library management has a lot to improve.
- Very little native features, you need a plugin for almost everything.

I have been using WordPress since 2013. I started with the basic blog website and till now I have delivered many Websites based on WordPress for e-commerce and other fields. It's very easy to set up and the plugin library is amazing, everything can be done in a few steps if anyone has the working knowledge. The only drawback is frequent updates and management of the plugins.
- SEO as its have all the systematic tools to do all the work rather than in PHP or any other website management.
- Designing- is amazing you have used in house builder or woo-commerce, the elementary page builder for your needs, and some of them with basic features are free.
- Fast Speed for loading index page and management for cached pages.
- Migration- in WordPress is easy to just take backup and migrate with the tools of yourself.
- Creating free plugins for starter business of individual blogs.
- Getting domain names from WordPress is comparatively high than other domain sellers.
- Automatic backup should be added in the WordPress itself, right now its not available you have to use 3rd party plugins of can do manually.

- Great templates and plugins.
- Easy install and maintenance.
- Dashboard interface needs update.
- User management.
- Updates sometimes break the site.

We are a boutique real estate firm that seeks to expand our digital presence and use the internet to drive leads, conversions and new clients to our website. We built our website using WordPress and could not function without it. The sheer versatility and number of great plug-ins make [WorkPress] an all-in-one [product] that we are continuing to learn about and master.
- Ease of use
- Versality - lots of additional features through plug-ins
- Accessible - the popularity of the product means you can get plenty of help
- It can be glitchy and buggy at times
- Need to go to 3rd parties for instructions on how to do more complex things
- It does not always integrate as seamlessly as it could with plug-ins like Yoast SEO

Love using WordPress for our corporate blog
We are currently using WordPress to host our corporate blog and website. It is primarily used by the marketing department to push out and update content. It helps us host our content all in one centralized location while also creating a pipeline of content to be pushed out across different content pillars.
- Easy to navigate
- Easy to push out new content
- Easy to have multiple users on the platform at the same time
- One-stop shop
- There are lots of features, so you need to familiarize yourself with where everything is.
- Provide more info on what each section means (particularly the meta description/SEO sections).

A great platform for both novice and expert
As a start up, we boot-strapped much of our launch and did a lot of things ourselves. We developed our first website using WordPress and it was easy to use for a non-webmaster/designer. Since then we've had our site professionally designed and they also use WordPress. It's a great platform for both beginners and professionals.
- Easy to use
- Lots of flexibility
- Tons of tools
- Not as intuitive as basic builders, but more function a flexibility
- Can be overwhelming for a beginner because there are so many options

From simple to powerful website during the month
When I had a question with the development of a corporate website, we had 3 ways - to do it ourselves from scratch, to outsource it, to do it on ready-made CMS. Outsourcing for a young start-up is expensive and to make from a scratch also was not a variant, since we have already made our main product from scratch.
When choosing a CMS, I had several options, but I settled on WordPress and did not regret it later.
We bought a ready-made template that was very suitable for us and in days, not months, filled it with content and changed it a little visually.
The result is simply stunning and we like it.

- More then enough educational courses and videos.
- The code style to make own extensions.
- The speed of engine, especially with extensions installed.

First of all, it is free. With WordPress, you don't need to know to code. It has lots of plugins and themes that make your work easier. If you choose the right tool, you can make some great websites. We were using it for our internal websites. Also, we're doing WordPress websites for customers, too. Our IT team was using it and was glad to use it.
- It is free
- Great optimization
- Fully changeable user interfaces
- Easy to use admin panel
- Working well even in lower servers
- Should support more extensions
- WordPress should check all extensions that some of them contains dangerous things
- Standard admin panel must have more customize options
- Should be more options for security on admin panel

We use WordPress to manage our agency's website, as well as to oversee numerous client web pages. With client accounts, we are responsible for uploading new content. In some cases, we are also responsible for building new pages for their existing websites. For our agency, we use WordPress to keep our blog page regularly updated, present case studies detailing client success stories, add downloadable content like e-books, and showcase our people and their areas of expertise. WordPress helps us manage three different agency websites for the US, Europe, and Australia in one simple-to-use interface. It also enables our clients to build their reputations as thought leaders by posting useful content for their customers.
- The dashboard is very organized and easy to navigate.
- Simple to create and duplicate new pages and posts.
- Easy to preview your changes before you publish content.
- Numerous plugins are available to provide additional capabilities.
- It can be difficult to format content (e.g. bulleted lists with spaces between them).
- Some plugins like Elementor can be slow to load.
- Media-like images must be quite small in order to successfully upload.

WordPress makes web design easy
I use WordPress to manage our website. I have it integrated with HubSpot and Mailchimp for mailing list signups, contact forms and chats. I've been using it for about 5 year or so with my current company. I found out about WordPress via our website host.
- You don't need to know html.
- There are a lot of premade themes to choose from.
- There are plugins available to do just about anything on your site.
- There could be more direct support.
- Some of the themes don't work with specific plugins.
- I'd love to see more widgets available in my current theme.
WordPress is used by our web developer, our copyrighter and product developer. WordPress is addressing our website needs including our legal educational pages, our blog posts, our landing pages, our digital product eCommerce pages, our drop shipping eCommerce pages and our general inquiry and contact pages. WordPress is the backbone of our website with specialized plugins fulfilling specific functionality.
- Blog writing
- Platform to incorporate a magnitude of specific plugins
- User management
- WordPress has a moderate learning curve when starting out.
- Some basic website functionality could be part of the base installation such as sending email.
- Building a truly responsive site is very challenging but I'm sure an experienced designer using the right web builder can work magic.

WordPress: One of the Best!
Our company uses WordPress within multiple teams and for multiple purposes. My team has utilized it as a platform to host our internal company website. We use it to give employees easy access to forms (like PTO requests, business card requests, travel requests, etc.), documents, and media (e.g. if we have an all-company meeting, we will post the recording on our WordPress website). We also use the platform within our tech team and they have built a proprietary solution that we provide to our clients.
- Ability to customize
- Thousands of Themes and Plugins to choose from
- Ease of use
- WordPress breaks often so you need to have someone who understands how to troubleshoot, which can take time and money.
- Some plugins are easier to customize than others, for example, some don't require any coding knowledge while others do. This can limit your project if you are not a coder.
- WordPress can be easily hacked, so you also need someone who can ensure your sites are secure.
WordPress is simply one of the best and easiest content management systems to use. It is simple enough for first-time users to learn, yet robust enough for experienced users to get the full functionality out of a CMS if needed. It's my platform of choice when putting up a website and there is no lack of developers, themes, and plugins to help you get stuff done. When compared to other platforms, this can't be beaten for its functionality, freedom, and speed. What is solves is the ability to put up a good quality website at a low cost and with tons of functionality.
- Content management system for blog
- Functionality for SEO and ease of use and customization
- Speed, speed, speed. You can make this CMS blazing fast with the right optimization and hosting.
- The only thing I could gripe about is not having a fully fluid builder like Showit but that is it. There are similar builders like it but not that flexible.
I am a web designer that exclusively designs and develops websites using WordPress. It's a free/open source with a great big community so I know that I have both updates that I need for security as well as support. WordPress is very easy to use and the best thing about it is that it's really like a blank slate for whatever you want to do.
- Very flexible - can literally build any kind of website
- Very user friendly - with each update, the UI gets more and more user friendly so that even non developers will have a relatively easy time getting a website up and running in no time. For advanced users, there is no shortage of options on themes, plugins, etc.
- Constant updates - the software is being updated all the time and security patches are automatically applied while other updates can be applied at a time of your choosing
- Great community - you have only to Google any issue you might be having and are very likely to find some sort of answer or help right away and easily
- More security for certain types of websites (financial institutions)
For the first four years of my freelancing career, I built custom WordPress websites for small business clients. The highly-flexible platform allowed me to customize both the front and back end of my clients' websites to meet their exact specifications. When they needed new functionality, it was often as simple as installing a free plugin.
- massive library of free and paid plugins
- ability to build absolutely anything
- thriving community for support and troubleshooting
- plugins often cause breaking problems with websites
- codebase is a mess
- plugins make sites vulnerable to attack
