WordPress

Very WordIMPRESSED..... horid cringe worthy pun for some Seriously Amazing Software!

Comments: I am using wordpress to create secure websites for a global audience for a non-profit organization I am hoping to launch within the following month or two. Being non profit, It is imperative that I keep costs as low as possible while ensuring the quality is as good as can bee.

Pros:

There are just so many options. If you know how to code and love those 0's and 1's then maybe something else might be better, but for lame layman like myself that is teaching himself how to webdesign, Wordpress platform has been a godsend. There truly seems to be an infinite number of plugins and themes available, and as it is open source there is little chance developers will be slowing down the momentum in releasing more.

Cons:

I think the only frustration was there being too many choices, which is not really the fault of the platform. I spent more time trying to ensure that I was purchasing the best possible addons, plugins, themes and hosting sites for wordpress specific pages and ended up with a library full of plugins ill never use.

Overall Good But Can Be Challenging If You lack Experience

Comments: WordPress is a solid platform, especially for those willing to invest some time in learning. It’s versatile and powerful, though a bit of maintenance is needed to keep it running smoothly.

Pros:

WordPress offers flexibility, an extensive plugins, and a large user community, making it easy to customise and sort out any issues.

Cons:

Managing plugins and updates can get tricky, and without technical know-how, more complex then other platforms

Wordpress, NOT for Complete Beginners

Comments: Although Wordpress is a fairly fast and easy way to get website up and running relatively fast, it requires a lot of upkeep, maintenance, and constant monitoring and continuous configuring of code updates and settings to keep running smoothly and safely in the long run. Do not reccomend to complete beginners or novices. Highly recommend to business owners who have a budget for proper upkeep and maintenance.

Pros:

Highly customizable with extensive knowledge and experience

Cons:

Doesn't work out the box, needs a lot of customization and configuring in order to work properly, not for Complete beginners.

WordPress - web power

Comments: I like WordPress because is a versatile content management system. Is well documented and support is five stars.

Pros:

The most I like that you have a lot of options in terms of themes and plugins. With certain themes I can transform my WordPress setup into a powerful platform for my needs. Themes saves you a lot of time and money with the design and plugins can add a lot of useful functionalities.

Cons:

There are no things I dislike and worth mentioning.

Excellent tool to help build your website

Comments: Overall, we had a fairly easy time to build the website we envisioned. If we had a wish, we would really want an integrated translation feature (only the set-up, we can manage the translation itself).

Pros:

WordPress makes it fairly easy to build your website according to your own wishes.

Cons:

WordPress is sometimes too quick to implement new developments - old beloved features (such as automatic blocks) are then hard to find.

The Best of the Best

Comments: Nothing but rave reviews here. Would switch all my clients over if possible.

Pros:

I love the ability for 3rd party involvement! Flexibility!

Cons:

Hard to say. I have no complaints! Possibility overload!

Most customizable website building platform there is!

Comments: Overall WordPress is worth exploring if you want a super custom website and are willing to put in the time to learn the platform.

Pros:

What I like most about using WordPress for my website is that it gives infinite possibilities for customization.

Cons:

What I like least about WordPress is that there is a pretty big learning curve when you don't know anything about building a website yet. It could possibly be one of the least intuitive software out there.

WordPress - easy to build any website

Comments: WordPress is a great platform to build a website as is very customizable and easy to use. Because is the most used CMS there are a lot of themes and plugins developed for it and can be used as a simple website/blog or a big eCommerce shop.

Pros:

The things I like at WordPress are the plugins and themes. I have added complex functions with some plugins transforming my website into a powerful online platform. The design is another important feature as you can easily build any design with different drag and drop builder or buy an already made theme. Fining a developer to improve the website is very easy as is widely used. On page SEO management for an WordPress based website is easy to made with different witch is a big thing that is worth mentioning.

Cons:

I have to be careful with themes and plugins used as it can get slow if not setup correctly.

Build Your Blog On Wordpress

Comments: I have had a good blogging experience with Wordpress for over the last 12 years. I plan to keep it for many more years because it is something valuable to me.

Pros:

I have been blogging with WordPress for over 12 years now. I enjoy the ability to build your own website or blog from scratch or using on of their themes. It is an easy platform to blog on due to the way the platform is built. For me, it’s easy to understand and easy to learn from creating blog posts to creating pages for your website that you have created. I like the fact that you get a domain with each purchase of a monthly plan.

Cons:

I don’t like the monthly price for my website because it seems too high. I also did not like that. WordPress has partnered with Jetpack. The entire thing seemed confusing at first until I figured it out.

Can be simple or complex

Comments: Overall, I have been able to learn WordPress and am confident I have a nice-looking website.

Pros:

It's pretty simple to understand! I have been able to learn the ins-and-outs and support my small org.

Cons:

Plugins can be a huge headache. When Web Developers switch it can be hard to know what plugins are essential.

Best Choice for Building Your Website

Pros:

The best thing about Wordpress is that you have complete freedom over the design of your website and there are easy to use plugins to help you achieve your vision even if you don't have a background in web design . The new Gutenberg editor allows you to use blocks to build beautiful blog posts and web pages.

Cons:

There isn't really anything to dislike about Wordpress. In the beginning there was a bit of a learning curve. I had to do research on a few things to get them exactly how I wanted. But that is to be expected anyways.

We couldn't live without it in our OU.

Comments: Hosting multiple sites on one platform with a single login. Extend our website and webapp functionality with pre-designed plugins. Free and secure updates also make management affordable and easy.

Pros:

- Multi tenancy - Fast and easy updates - Central management - Security and auto updates - Extensive pre-built plugins

Cons:

Non standard html code implementation generated due to things like visual studio editor. Loading plugins that aren't needed on every page instead of loading only when the page calls for it.

Content Management Champion

Comments: I don't think there is a website, shop or blog that WordPress can't help create. I'm running a podcast and multiple forums on this and I couldn't be happier.

Pros:

It's mindblowing how powerful WordPress is, considering the fact that it's free. I would go as far as to say that this is only part of the reason for its success, as some 60% of all CMS-pages are built using WordPress: there's a whole universe of plugins, free and paid, the interface is foolproof and the results are only limited by your own capacities.

Cons:

It can be overwhelming at times. Especially if you are looking for a plugin to, say, have a grid on some landing page, there are some 40 providers who offer similar looking solutions, varying between free and expensive. In fact, the price and the quality of the plugins aren't necessarily related.

Versatile with plenty of options!

Comments: Wordpress is extremely easy to use in comparison to some other website softwares. You can make a basic page for a business or blog in a matter of hours and have it up and running. There are quite a few themes that it is very likely the design you want has already been created.

Pros:

Wordpress offers the most options and built in plugins if you are willing to pay. With how broad the use of wordpress is there are also plenty of resources online to help you build and expand your webpage. You can edit your site and get it up and running in a matter of hours.

Cons:

When you are starting out on wordpress there are features and plugins are are only available at higher priced points. Unfortunately you have to pay for the entire year so there is not much flexibility in terms of trying things out for a short period of time before committing.

WordPress Simply the Best

Comments: There are lots of other software, but WordPress is really unique and professional. I am using this content management system on my websites and my overall experience with WordPress is really incredible. Just because of professional plugins and themes, I have developed professional websites for myself. I am really satisfied with the SEO result of my websites because with WordPress the all URL addresses of my websites are search engine friendly. All pages and products have been indexed in the search engine and I receive a good number of visitors just because of Good SEO, which has been done just because of SEO plugins of WordPress.

Pros:

You can install and use both free and paid themes in your WordPress Website. There are lots of plugins that makes your development life very easy. For instance, if you want to install a contact form plugin, you can install with Contact form 7 Plugin. If you want better SEO then you can use All in One SEO Pack plugin. With the Elementor plugin of WordPress you can design professional web pages. There are lots of components in default builder of WordPress, with the help of these components you can easily add images, videos, text, shortcodes, HTML tags and lots of other things.

Cons:

WordPress by itself offers lots of stunning and beautiful themes in the WordPress directory, only there are few websites where you can find paid themes. According to my point of view and experience, the prices of those themes should be a little less, so anyone can easily afford and buy these themes. All other things of WordPress are really awesome.

Not a better website platform out there

Comments: Again, I've been using WordPress for years across no less than 5 sites. I'm not an advanced user by any stretch of the imagination. I hardly go into the code, and I need to lookup how to do anything outside my normal level of operation. For the average person, WordPress is easy to navigate and self-explanatory. You'll need help setting up the initial site if you aren't at least intermediate level with web design. But maintenance and daily posts are easy to handle for any beginner.

Pros:

I have been using WordPress for years. I've attempted to switch website platforms before, not necessarily by choice (someone else has usually initiated the switch). But nothing has come close to the ease of use for WordPress. Plugins are easy to add, themes are easy to find and customize. Adding posts is a breeze, just create a new one. Pages are much the same way, but aren't attached to your blog page. You can select which page because the home page and which page is the blog page. Nearly everything is customizable.

Cons:

Some features are hard to find. Particularly when you add a new plugin. A lot of plugins will have links on the plugin page that take you to their settings, but not all. Some plugins end up on the navigation on the left hand side, but not all. For the few that get buried deep in a linking tree somewhere, it can be difficult to find the plugin to make edits. This isn't necessarily WordPresses fault, but they could make it a little easier. WordPress also usually doesn't handle customer service issues. Every plugin and theme has it's own developers and WordPress is no help with them at all. You have to contact the plugin owner. And that can be hard at times. I've had better luck getting my web host to help me with WordPress related issues than WordPress themselves.

Easiest way to go to market, don't need to code, pretty obvious when you use it though

Comments: Going to market quickly is great, evolving your product becomes impossible but that's because it wasn't made for that purpose. One of the few professional website builders with a free tier still unlike their competitors that have gone to a paid model for even the most basic functionality.

Pros:

Oftentimes people think you have to code to build a beautiful website. Wordpress makes building a professional looking website as easy as drag and drop. The content management system was great, and our development team wanted to leverage it to combine it with a customized sales workflow I developed as the lead product manager. As a professional technologist I was worried about being able to customize WordPress to combine with specific coding work. We were able to add enough customized code on top to be able to manage our content well and add our invoicing, proposal, and customer engagement workflow.

Cons:

It's really obvious when you use a WordPress site. And if you're not careful it's easy to pull a denial of service attack on, they don't even have to know how to code to do it. That happened to us, and we eventually learned what it takes to do it, and not much. Now I can eyeball a website and tell if it's a WordPress website and quickly confirm with a keyboard shortcut. Outside of building a simple site to display content or minimum viable product, you need to outgrow WordPress fast if you're building a technology company, but you would be surprised how long it takes some people.

Wordpress

Comments: WordPress helps me to maintain a nice & smooth web design experience and enables me to remain responsive as per meeting up with our client's project expectations. It's really a nice CMS and I highly recommend it to every web design aspirant.

Pros:

WordPress is the most flexible and easy-to-work-with CMS I've used so far. I tried out other alternatives like Drupal and others, but WordPress makes the entire web-building experience easy.The tool is beginner friendly and supports a lot of third-party plugins which broadens its functionality, making my designs look great.There are many documents (provided by wordpress.org) for beginners who are just getting started and kin of help to minimize the apprenticeship process.I can't emphasize enough the flexibility I have when working on my projects (and clients') with WordPress. As a matter of, it's a tool I can't do without.

Cons:

One major problem with WordPress is that there is no live support--the only place to get the support it's the community forum which isn't guaranteed (as support is provided by random users).

The only platform I really use for web design: Self-hosted WP (the ORG version)

Comments: Its super simple to use, it only gets difficult when you buy a new theme and have to learn your way around. Its super flexible, there's a plugin to solve almost every problem I ever had. Its professional, you won't embarrass yourself if you tell your friends at a party that you built your website on WP (as opposed to Wix or Weebly). I suppose I'm biased because its pretty much the only platform I use for building websites, but there's a reason for that. I wouldn't have a business if I hadn't learned WP.

Pros:

The vast flexibility with different themes and plugins. There are so many themes that I rarely use the same one twice - I can get just the right theme to tailor to my needs for each website. I don't know coding and I don't need to - I have so many professional themes on my hard drive that for me, learning to code seems akin to reinventing the wheel. There are so many plugins, that if there's something not quite right that I need to fix, my first go to is to look for a plugin for it and I almost always find one. I have many plugins (about a dozen) which I use on every site, and am just used to having them around, so now I'm hooked.

Cons:

Like I said before, I'm hooked. I'm too dependent on it, like a driver that can only drive in automatic. If I had to make a website on another platform for whatever reason, I would need to figure out a way to take these WP plugins and incorporate them, because I need them. I'm glad that situation has never come up. I've met some web designers who do client work (I only build sites for my own business) and they're really snobby about WP, saying its not real web dev or something. Maybe? They say I'm not a real web designer because I only use WP and use purchased themes. Okay, that might be true, but I seriously don't care. I can make stunning professional websites that not only look good and work well but are fast and are great for SEO. Websites that are much better than the ones I would get if I paid some 'real' web developer $800 to build one for me. Websites that are suited exactly to my business needs - including high-converting landing pages: I got 10% conversion on my landing page that I built on WP. I might not be a 'real web designer' because I didn't study coding in a school, but learning WP off Youtube was all it took to learn the skills I needed to run a successful business.

Hey Look, Another WordPress Site

Comments: WordPress is great for what it is. A content management system for posting. If you are still of the opinion that you need a website, and don't have a lot of skills to do so, WordPress can provide EVERYTHING you need, with the exceptions of what it can't do (and you'll likely hit those barriers, but be okay with it). If you are an advanced web developer, you'll find it intriguing, the simplicity. The difficulty in making a 100% custom theme will likely lead you to a commercial theme (template?), but then you'll settle for something that works, especially a few versions later. Maintaining updates isn't a big deal, but don't let your website go stagnant. Overall, I am happy with what WordPress brings to my table, having multiple sites running the software. It's not perfect, but I don't think there is anything closer.

Pros:

Wordpress is an excellent, low barrier of entry platform (CMS) for the web. It's useful for beginners, and features that will be handy for advanced users. "Web Skills" are not required for anyone, and it's an excellent publishing platform to allow a variety of users, with permissions, access to add content. It's reasonably fast, and has plugins galore. (Boy does it have plugins). There are piles and piles of themes out there, so you can get pretty close to whatever you want out of your WordPress site. There is a nice app that works well for remote posting, but I do prefer my desktop.

Cons:

WordPress is basically the #1 CMS in the world. That also means, it's the top targeted platform. Every exploit, web hijack script on earth is targeting your system. Have a strong password, have an SSL key, and keep it up to-date or you will get hacked. And even then, you might still get brute forced. Dynamic sites don't scale very well with a high number of users, or an extreme amount of content. Plugins are a blessing and a curse. You could setup some advanced things that then get "lost" when the plugin is no longer supported. Finding a "Great" theme that's exactly what you want is a challenge. Making your own layout is a beyond the scope of most users. Minor customization are doable (module / drag n drop).

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.

WordPress - the leading CMS for the next years

Comments: I used WordPress to create a personal blog, a business site, and a web design related blog.

Pros:

WordPress is easy to use and extremely powerful. These two features combined should attract the attention of anyone interested in creating and maintaining a site. First of all, WordPress is relatively simple to use. An average Internet user is able to create a WordPress powered website in just a few hours. Practically, all you have to do is to install a theme and a few plugins. Of course, more demanding people need to personalize their site. Luckily, the latest WordPress version (Gutenberg) allows you the site customization without writing any line of code. If you are like me (a newbie programmer) you will like the possibility of creating a cool site without writing code. Besides its simplicity, WordPress is versatile. Do you want to launch a small personal blog? WordPress is a good solution. Do you want to launch a big online store? WordPress is also a reliable solution. Finally, I prefer using WordPress due to a multitude of themes and plugins available. WordPress repository is full of good themes and plugins and there are many other premium ones if you want more features.

Cons:

I spent a few minutes figuring what I like least about WordPress. This fact reveals that WordPress is a pretty solid choice. However, I consider that security is the Achilles heel. You have to invest time and resources to considerably strengthen a WordPress site security. Usually, if your site doesn't generate serious revenue, you are safe with a good security plugin. Sites that generate revenue are more attractive for hackers that will test any kind of vulnerabilities. Anyway, WordPress has way more positive aspects than negative.

Wordpress Review

Comments: I see it as a tool for making online publishing and marketing more easy and interesting. I have been able to solve a number of dangerous attacks on my website by simpling looking at the activity log and responding immediately by contacting my host or fixing it myself.

Pros:

Wordpress software alone makes my blogging experience easy and convenient. With just a click I would have the quickest update about my traffic statistics. There is no single day I don't use WordPress software to check my website's performance and security issues. I enjoy using it a great deal because of the following reasons: 1. Activity log to find out if there is a strange action from a hacker or anything unrelated to my most recent activities. 2. I get daily, monthly and yearly insights about my website's visitors, their locations, the particular pages visited, the referral link like Google, Bing, etc. I don't necessarily need to rely on google analytics 3. This software gives me an instant notification about new comments, trackbacks and anytime there is a boost in my traffic. 4. It makes me feel secure because of their 2-factor authentication. I confirm my identity through my phone number. 5. I have been noticing regular updates adding new features and making it more user-friendly. 6. I have been able to use the android version of this software happily whiles I was having no access to a PC for more than one year. Because the software's user interface makes it more enjoyable than using a browser itself. Now I use it on my laptop and my phone altogether.

Cons:

Since I moved my website from WordPress.com to wordpress.org I haven't been able to publish an article using this software. The major problem I have been encountering is about having an error message anytime I try to upload a media file like a photo. The error message says: "failed to insert media. Please try again." It frustrates me a lot but I believe because I am no more hosting my website with Wordpress. I transferred my website to a different host. Because of this, I do all my publications using wordpress.com which is my self-hosting platform. Finally, since I moved to a self-host, I haven't been able to have direct control over my plugins via the WordPress software.

WordPress Review

Pros:

Open Source: The best thing about it is that it is an open source cms which is absolutely free. It was earlier made to be used only in blogs but it is used as a content management system in websites. You can also modify and distribute the codes and you will not have to worry about license fees. Low Cost: I agree that it takes up to 10000 ₹ to create a blog in WordPress, but according to one, it is not much. Because if you get a website built from a developer or choose any other paid cms, then you can cost from 30000 ₹ to 50000 ₹. Easy to Use: You do not need to be a developer to install and use WordPress. You can easily manage WordPress site even without coding knowledge. In this you can easily do any work with the help of plugin. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Benefits: Most search engines like Google like WordPress sites more. Because seo meta and many seo optimizations are already done in wordpress site and they do not have to face errors. Lots of sites use WordPress: You must have seen around yourself that all the popular blogs are on WordPress only. Let us also tell you that according to the recent report 74.6 million sites are using WordPress only. Updates: The new version of WordPress comes almost every 152 days but comes within it. All the popular plugins and themes in WordPress blog are updated regularly. This strengthens the security along with the performance of the site. Plugins and More Options: First of all, WordPress will give you unlimit

Cons:

Security: The biggest disadvantage is that its security is weak. But those who are smart bloggers and secure their blog in some way. WordPress also supports vulnerable source themes and plugins. That's why many hackers take advantage of this. Low Database Handling Capacity: Many wordpress experts also believe that wordpress is not able to handle the database properly. This has also been reported many times and right now the WordPress team is focusing on optimizing it. Without Updated Plugin/Themes: I have seen many times that there are still many such plugins and themes in the wordpress directory which have not been updated for 2 years and thousands of people use it. You must be aware that by using such plugins and themes, the performance of the blog goes down.

The Light of my life

Comments: i have an experience of 5+ years

Pros:

WordPress, the renowned content management system (CMS), has undoubtedly become the guiding light in the world of web design and development. As a co-founder of a design company, I can confidently say that WordPress has transformed my professional life, propelling our company to new heights. Its versatility, user-friendliness, and extensive customization options have made it an invaluable tool that illuminates the path to success for designers and developers.Versatility and Adaptability:One of the most remarkable aspects of WordPress is its versatility. Whether you're building a simple blog or a complex e-commerce website, WordPress provides a solid foundation to bring your ideas to life. Its extensive library of themes and plugins offers endless possibilities for customization, allowing designers to create unique and tailored websites for their clients. WordPress empowers us to adapt to various project requirements, ensuring that each website we deliver meets the specific needs and goals of our clients.User-Friendliness and Intuitive Interface:WordPress is renowned for its user-friendly interface, making it accessible to both seasoned professionals and newcomers to web design. The intuitive dashboard and streamlined editing process enable us to efficiently manage and update websites, saving time and effort. This user-friendly approach also extends to our clients, as they can easily navigate and update their websites without technical expertise. The learning curve is mi

Cons:

Complexity for Beginners: Despite its user-friendly interface, WordPress can still be overwhelming for individuals who are new to web design or development. The abundance of options, settings, and features may take time to fully understand and navigate, leading to a steeper learning curve for beginners.Security Vulnerabilities: Due to its popularity and wide usage, WordPress can be a target for malicious attacks. Although the WordPress core team constantly works to address security issues and release updates, it is essential to implement additional security measures and stay vigilant to protect your website from potential threats.Plugin and Theme Compatibility: With thousands of plugins and themes available in the WordPress ecosystem, compatibility issues can arise. Sometimes, certain plugins or themes may not work well together or may conflict with the latest version of WordPress, requiring troubleshooting or finding alternative solutions.Performance and Speed Optimization: While WordPress itself is well-optimized, the performance of a website ultimately depends on various factors, such as the hosting environment, the choice of plugins and themes, and the overall website configuration. It is crucial to invest time in optimizing your website's performance to ensure fast loading times and smooth user experience.Overreliance on Plugins: While plugins provide extended functionality, relying heavily on them can sometimes lead to bloated code, slower loading times, and pot
