Anyone creating or requiring a modern web presence.
We love Hubspot first off because it is very user friendly where it needs to be while customizable so we can get exactly what we want.
Showing more dependencies and why an unconventional way of reporting data or making fields can cause bad data sets.
Our Customer Success Manager is well informed and does a great job with informing us about new features that can help improve how we use the platform.
My only complaint of note is the size of the html editor panel.
Hubspot is good if you want the simplicity of 1 central place. I will say the customer support is fantastic.
Lacking full DNS management features. Analytic data is attached to a page vs a link so failed A/B tests, and paged revised via staging lose their analytical history.
Best affordable CRM platform that improves ROI and builds good customer relationship.
The navigation for setting up website pages is a difficult to use. For example, I was trying to change the footer on a few pages and the process was very intricate and confusing.
Wordpress is great because you have everything needed to build a great website right out of the box. It's very simple but allows for content management and has a nice development framework.
Sometimes there is the occasional time where you may have a critical error. The worst thing that can happen to you is that you don't backup your website and then you update and it all goes away.
My experience using Wordpress has been super great in building a good-looking website in only really a few hours. The Wordpress plugins are also a really great implementation.
Extremely inconvenient for first-time users. Heavily text-based and can be confusing for learners to navigate through it.
It is super nice that you can turn a free website to what you want. I also like the fact that developers can make money either setting up websites for companies or designing and coding layouts.
Defective plugins can be a problem when using Wordpress. In some cases, plugins can slow down the performance of a website, and sometimes become a gateway to a hacking attack.
From my own experience, using the free version of the program, you will be able to do wonderful things. This program is for people who like the simple software, elegant and efficient.
WordPress sites are vulnerable to hacking, attacks and spamming and often you only learn this once you've been attacked. More should be done for security.
Jonathan T.: Hi, I'm Jonathan. I am the owner of a creative and web design studio, and my review of WordPress is that it's five stars. Prior to WordPress, boy, I have used all sorts of different things. Different builders built into other platforms, like Kajabi or Wix, Squarespace, all of those, even some old ones back in the day, like Homestead, and even just straight on up HTML. I've moved all of my development into WordPress because it is just easy. It's a heck of a web standard. Runs, I think, over a third of websites on the internet. There's a plugin for everything, so if it doesn't do it out of the box, somebody else has probably thought of that already for me, so it's easy to plug in new features that I need. I've really found my groove with a great theme and builder combo that I can use quickly and easily to have great results. WordPress, well, back when I got started, there was a little bit more to it years and years and years ago. But these days, boy, it is easy to get started with it. There's so much more built-in functionality right out of the box, and I'd say most people can get going on a WordPress site. And then as you learn more, you can add more functionalities, you get more comfortable with it, and then you can really make some great stuff with it. If you are considering using WordPress for your business, I'd say take a look at what you need your site to do. Is it just that front-facing kind of brochure site? Do you need membership? Do you need people logging in? Do you need to sell things? All of those are, of course, possible with WordPress, but you just need to understand what functionalities might you need to add in with plugins, themes, and all that things. And then also consider finding a good builder that, depending how your brain works, can make designing pages in your site a whole lot easier, more straightforward, and there are some pretty powerful tools out there that can really make it a breeze.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
