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.
Doris has great templates, animations and customizable actions. It is super easy to use and affordable.
One of the worst things that has happened is that stuff on there just DISAPPEARES from your site and the support team just asks you to upload it again.
I'm pretty satisfied about my experience with Dorik and I recommend it whenever I have the chance.
I was confused between the Classic offer and the CMS offer and I had to restart my website.
If you don't want to design from scratch, their templates are lovely and there is variety for all needs. You can customize them to your liking.
Once the Website wasn't loading due to some outage, and dorik recovered everything in no time. I believe that day the outage has covered social media channels too.
Very good, try it, you'll see. It's a great replacement for old solutions like wordpress, with all kinds of plugins.
Lack of customization of certain integrated elements.
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.
Dave C.: Hi, my name is Dave, and I'm a director of a design agency. And today, I'll be reviewing Dorik, which I give four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click on the link below. Before Dorik, I was using a few different website builders. Word Press was one, and some others. And they're all really good and they're all right, but I do like that Dorik consolidates everything under one roof. When I first discovered Dorik, it was pretty much just a landing page builder, just a single page, but then came the ability to build out fully flash websites, and even more recently, a full on CMS. And this is really taking it to another level, where you can build membership sites. They have a great air table integration, so you can have gated content. It's pretty awesome for the price. It really has a lot of features, and the builder is easy to work with. Getting started with Dorik is pretty easy. If you have worked with any landing page builder before, you're going to recognize... You're going to be able to navigate around and really understand how to implement things and set things up. And if you're new to it, I think it's pretty self-explanatory, and you can get going very easily. For anyone that is looking into Dorik, I recommend that you just try out one of the lower level plans. They're very affordable and will allow you to test out the full features of the platform and just get going. It's very simple. It's very quick and easy to get started, and I think you can get an idea of the capabilities of it. Yeah, it's really a nice platform to work with.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
