### "Self Hosted WordPress - King of Blogging Platforms"

March 10, 2021

5.0

I have been using WordPress since last decade. I have tried in many webhosting providers. Possibly had Installed hundreds of Instances of WordPress for testing and live hosting, even few for customers also. It is a time saver and because of extensive availability of themes and plugins, you can create Unique websites for different business needs. Its really positive and helpful.

Pros

Most loved feature about WordPress.org is Easy of Deployment and Administration. You can simply install this software using single Click button on most of the Web Hosting environments. If you plan to install in your Local Machine, it is also simple. Just install PHP/MySQL using tool like XAMPP and rest is step by step guided. Next loved thing is the Customization available. Thousands of themes and plugins to extend the capabilities as required. Guess what, you can simply design your theme or plugin with simple knowledge of PHP. As being the Open Source and long running product, community support is indepth.

Cons

One thing that Frustrates is the resource usage. WordPress uses most resource if compared amount other popular tools like Joomla & Drupal. If you are using in Shared Hosting environment, the performance of the website is slower as you start getting visitors.

### "Wordpress works great for simple website and blogs"

August 31, 2021

4.0

It is a very great product and I have been using it for 10 years. It works every time.

Pros

The wordpress auto update takes a way the hassle of remembering to update your blog/website. This is one of my most favourite feature in Wordpress. Also it auto updates plugins and that is such a relief than doing it yourself.

Cons

The only downside is that not all plugins are available for auto update. Wordpress can do better with the wp-cli

### "My Experience with WordPress"

October 9, 2022

4.0

Pros

Impactful features include social network compatibility, search engine optimization, customization options, page style, support and update feature, and responsive website design. It is easy to manage. Actually, it is designed for non-technical people. The integration with existing business processes is very easy.

Cons

Wordpress has been my blogging and business platform for the past few years. Given that it is the most popular platform for web design, I frequently suggest it to friends and coworkers. While providing extensive customization for individuals who are quite informed about web design, it is straightforward and simple to navigate for others who are less experienced. You can use one of the many pre-designed templates available for your design. Additionally, as you transition from one template to another, your content is immediately transferred from one design to another, saving you from having to enter everything again.Many hosting providers offer one-click installations to make things simple to use. Although Drupal and Joomla are PHP-based CMS that have a lot more features, they have required a migration to move from one Major release to the next. For businesses with smaller IT staffs and/or budgets, this is a substantial strain to manage. You must take great care to keep WordPress updated and safe because it is a tempting target for hackers. Plugins can help you with this, which is a good thing. A plugin can be created by anyone and posted to the marketplace. This could be used by some nefarious individuals to create a plugin with a backdoor. Installing third-party plugins requires extra caution if you want to avoid this kind of security problem.

### "the best CMS ever but it can still be better"

July 30, 2021

4.0

Very good since they keep you informed and the security of these sites is very advanced, you only worry about creating content and managing the website, now they have free video training as a webinar and they help a lot for those who are starting to use wordpress. com

Pros

It is very easy to create a page in seconds, its configuration is very fast and does not require advanced programming knowledge, simplicity is the advantage of this software

Cons

The limited with the plugins to be able to have an advanced experience in wordpress.com you must pay, but even so it is a good product with a huge community.

### "The Easiest, Most Versatile CMS For Non-Developers. Open Source, Massive Library of Free Plugins."

March 23, 2018

5.0

Pros

As the owner of a web agency, I tried quite a few solutions over the past 5 years. I really love Wordpress because it's not just very simple to use such as self-hosted page builders out there, but it's also extremely expendable. If you are an online marketer, a blogger or just somebody starting out with building websites, Wordpress is your go-to solution. I'm not trying to sound overly happy here, but Wordpress is truly a fantastic piece of software. Here is what I especially like about Wordpress: - Very easy to set up, I never had any problems with it, regardless of server configuration - The amount of free plugins is HUGE! Where you are paying for add-ons in other CMS's, Wordpress usually offers the plugins for free - The user base is gigantic so you can get support from 360°: meetups, online, friends, colleagues etc. - Customers love the simple backend and even the most technically inept people can make changes in the really simple UI - Great selection of themes to choose from at very affordable prices. - Ideal for bloggers, online marketers, community builders etc. because there are lots of existing solutions already out there - Built-in versioning makes it super easy to restore a text draft from months ago and undo changes you did to your posts and pages

Cons

Rights management is definitely not a strong suit of Wordpress. In this case a more complex solution like Drupal might be better suitable. Security is still a big issue in Wordpress and lots of standard features like email obfuscation are not built in like in other CMS's. Thus you will be the target of hacker and spam attacks soon. To be fair, I must add though that a lot of security issues can be solved by regularly updating Wordpress and all its plugins. The main problem though is that Wordpress is so well-known, hackers look for Wordpress sites more often than they look for other CMS's. That's mostly it. Apart from that I'm pretty happy with Wordpress!

### " WordPress es totalmente gratis y es un código estándar para el desarrollo de páginas web"

March 10, 2020

5.0

El código de WordPress es muy fácil de editar, por lo que he tenido la oportunidad de crear blogs, páginas informativas o tiendas virtuales en periodos de tiempo muy breves, aumentando mi productividad y aumentando mis ingresos como programador.

Pros

WordPress es la herramienta de desarrollo web por excelencia para todo tipo de negocio, empresa, emprendimiento o pyme, debido a sus innumerables temas y complementos. Lo más destacable es que no hay límites de modificación. Se puede personalizar la apariencia de los temas a través de las hojas de estilo o por medio de complementos. Entre otras cosas interesantes, hay muchos usuarios que han desarrollado herramientas de SEO para WordPress, de modo que sea una tarea muy sencilla posicionar un sitio web. Otro elemento determinante por lo que me gusta WordPress, es que hay manuales o guías de cualquier concepto en Internet, por lo que si desea desarrollar una funcionalidad para su sitio web, seguramente ya se encuentre en línea.

Cons

Me gustaría que con las próximas actualizaciones WordPress implementase una restricción en el editor de temas para el archivo function.php, debido a que cualquier modificación errónea por algún usuario principiante podría dañar todo el sitio web.

### "WordPress Is For Winners"

October 5, 2019

5.0

WordPress is the site to visit if you going to start your very own website or blog.Their prices are reasonable and the best domain names are always available. WordPress will teach you the fastest and best ways to start a blog or website.WordPress will also teach you how to monetize your blog or website. WordPress offers a online 10 part course that teaches how to create a fantastic blog or website, totally free.When i started building my blog through WordPress i was a beginner. I did not know anything about building a blog or website. I learned so much with the WordPress 10 part online course. I also began watching and studying other free WordPress webinars on how to generate passive income using my blog. In time i was making a passive yet steady income from my blog. WordPress is the best site \[platform\] to purchase your domain and hosting. I give WordPress a 5 star rating and i highly recommend WordPress.

Pros

What i liked the most about this software was how easy it is to use. Anyone can actually do it. Anyone

Cons

I found nothing that i disliked about this software.

Gosto muito do Wordpress para edição de sites, blogs e conteúdos no geral. Utilizamos em larga escala para acesso de sites externos, landing pages e integramos ele com várias plataformas.Melhor custo benefício do mercado!

Pros

A melhor parte do uso do Wordpress é a possibilidade de edição sem necessidade de ficar desenvolvendo códigos. O uso é bem intuitivo e de rápido aprendizado.As atualizações sobem de forma rápida e podemos visualizar toda a estrutura que tem sido editada direto no ambiente de homologação.

Cons

### "Blogging or Bloat?"

August 26, 2021

3.0

We used Wordpress for over 12 years and at one point managed 20+ sites for clients. It was exactly what we needed, when we needed it. Quick entry point, ease of use, functionality, flexibility, etc. Then we found better options and have since moved all of our sites, and clients, away from Wordpress. Growth requires change, right? Overall, however, Wordpress did what it was designed to do and we appreciated what it offered. It was pivotal in our early days and - even though we no longer use it - we do think it's a great place to get started, learn the ropes, and develop a style/brand/offering before branching out into more robust design/development endeavors. It taught us a lot and we wouldn't be where we are without the foundation of Wordpress, and it's many pros and cons.

Pros

Blogging and customization are, no doubt, the best features. Themes are plentiful, as are drag-and-drop plage builders to aid in the customization. All really good stuff, for those who need something simple. If you're in need of something more complex, there's an endless supply of designers and developers at your fingertips.

Cons

Security, bloat, and plugins. Far too many vulnerabilities and far too little oversight. It's easy, yet complex at the same time. The learning curve can be steep, especially if more customization is needed, or if one needs to troubleshoot an issue. Customer support is nonexistent so off you go to Google to research and spend hours reading and trying new "fixes" to the many bugs that often appear. And, then, you don't know if the bug is with WP or with plugins or a combination of the two. It can be a disaster if you're not up to the task.

### "Great but not for EVERY website"

February 12, 2020

4.0

Overall a popular and good place to start for beginners and medium size businesses but it's not the solution for every single site out there and it can be a pain to develop something that needs scaling in Wordpress because your data is quite "dirty" and on the Wordpress way. Be aware of security issues and performance degradation over time. Think before you choose.

Pros

Wordpress is great, if it wasn't they wouldn't have 30% of the websites on internet running on their platform. What makes Wordpress great is that specifically, since it's so widespread is super easy to find support, developers, hosting, plugins, themes, you name it. Generally speaking Wordpress is easy for non-technical users to setup and hit the ground running, some people can have their own custom blog on the day. Wordpress is user friendly and has a myriad of plugins that can put your site on steroids, for free. I develop Wordpress sites often and it's suitable for many cases, but not all.

Cons

My main problem is that Wordpress has become a shapeless behemoth, trying to fullfil every single need out there in the web (impossible) and losing some of its strenghts on the way. Quickly here some of the current issues it's facing: - If Wordpress is a Blogging platform, then it's quite incomplete because it lacks native translation and custom content types out of the box. - If it's a framework to develop sites, why I have to remove legacy bloat and spend a great deal of my developing time adapting the pseudo-blogging framework into something else? - Wordpress is well known to have security issues, but still the core allows unsafe passwords and no backend renaming has yet been enabled on the core. - Wordpress is Heavily reliant in plugins, one of them updates or breaks and your whole site might break. - Wordpress is not MVC complaint. With Wordpress sites I always have this feeling of not knowing how the site will look tomorrow, I have to spend more time worrying about it than developing it.

### "The go to website builder for new and veterans alike!"

October 19, 2021

5.0

Overall WordPress is my go to tool for designing website for my clients. I have so far had 0 issues, and none of my clients have complained. Its simple enough that I can even provide my customers with a self made tutorial hand-over for them to keep updating their own sites after I've designed it.

Pros

There is so many helpful plugins available with cross platform integration for most big name company products out there! There is also a ton of online tutorials available on platforms like YouTube to access freely should you get stuck!

Cons

It can get overwhelming at the start if you're new to websites and the designing thereof.

### "The Ultimate Solution for Building the Most Perfect Websites! "

May 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

Gone are the days when you had to sit for hours to create a visually stunning website. With WordPress, anyone can be a website developer if he knows how to play around with the UI and get started with the themes. This is undoubtedly the best platform that you can use to start with your own blog without any prior coding experience. The plugins and tools you get are amazing, and help you to get any job done within minutes. The theme editor has a easy to use interface, making it easy for beginners to customize the look and feel of their website. For bloggers, the platform allows you to directly write and format your text in a few clicks without playing around with the code. The text editor also comes with a lot of image features allowing you to crop and enhance the images you want to publish for your blog. Wordpress also takes care of the security of your blog since it offers you to set-up your own custom login page for your website. Everything about the platform just speaks perfection and it offers guides for the smallest of things. Overall, will recommend this to anyone who wants to start their blogging journey.

Cons

There is nothing as such that I dislike about WordPress, however they can definitely work on the free themes they offer and present users with more options spread around different categories like Magazine, Fashion, Shopping and more. Other than that, the team constantly pushes themselves to make the platform better so I am sure no one will face any major problems with them.

April 5, 2024

5.0

I LOVE It! I've used it for years, and I keep learning new stuff all the time.

Pros

I LOVE the ability to customize and add a variety of added features without being nickeled and dimed for every additional thing. Unlike some other "easier to use" platforms out there, WP offers a lot of customization and many plugins, themes, and extra cost nothing to implement.

Cons

There is a learning curve and it's not beginner-friendly if you know nothing about installing it, etc.

### "Beginners Website Builder/ CMS"

August 27, 2021

5.0

Overall, I can't really complain. If you are looking for a starters CMS that will cost you nothing (except hosting charges etc), WordPress is a CMS to use.

Pros

Website is one of the most promising free open source CMS out there. Easy to use, highly customizable and fast to set-up. It doesn't really get better than that. Also, in terms of SEO and editing the technical configurations, WordPress provides complete freedom.

Cons

The only thing I find problematic about WordPress is the fact that it's poor security options. In my opinion, its easier to get hacked if you don't regularly change the passwords, or update WordPress versions properly, website is prone to hacking and certain malware. I Hope WordPress addresses these issues!

### "Great for quick development for your clients"

October 26, 2020

4.0

It was a pleasant journey. I've been using/editing/building WordPress websites for the last 3-4 years. I learned a lot and saved tons of time using it. I'd highly recommend it for most of the people as it has a very pleasant UI and it's easy to use even for not tech people - your client.

Pros

The community. It has a wide support for the plugins. You can find almost any plugin you would think of. There are lots of tutorials/questions etc. on the internet too which makes it easy to deal with your problems. There are plenty of cheap option to host your Wordpress instance, which is a big plus. There is also a lot of themes you can use for free, but also lots of high quality paid ones (that are not expensive too).

Cons

Code quolity. Even though there are lots of plugins and themes, usually their code quality is poor. It's hard to add new features to already existing themes or change something. It's easi to write your own custom theme, but it requires way higher budget for the project, which is not a common thing.

I am honestly still learning it It is the most powerful program for developers. I know that I have a lot of room to grow still in terms of what I can do with it although it's already clear you can pretty much do everything with it

Pros

Compared to other CMS options out there, WordPress is by far the most powerful and capable option on the market.

Cons

Well it will catch you off guard that you have to do all of the little things included with other places. For instance security, hosting of data, SSLs, all sorts of little things most people take for granted on a website.

### "This is WordPress, do I need to say more! My entire blogging business is based on this one product!"

January 29, 2020

5.0

I started making my own websites and assiting with other's projects with only 30 minutes of training. I knew near to zero about web development. Then I watched a video tutorial of the basics and that was enough to start me on my way. I learned by doing new things, stumbling on new issues, then learning from the mistake and troubleshooting from online forums. Now I have 10-15 websites at a time and also help my clients with their websites. Of course, I am still learning and I am no coder, I have 0 coding knowledge. Yet I manage to do a lot of things without any coding.

Pros

The way a total layman can pick up the basics and publish a website for oneself is mind boggling. I know there are even easier solutions. I tried them. But no one, absolutely no one has the same balance of freedom, ease of use and gradual learning curve like WordPress.

Cons

It's an open market when it comes to WordPress. If you dont like something, it is likely that there are at least 10 alternatives. So I can not say I dont like something, I KNOW there is an alternative that I would like. The new Gutenberg update had caught me unaware like thousands of other users and I am still using the old interface (guilty!), so that transition might be called somthing that gave me a hiccup. Again as I said, there are always alternatives, you can use several plugins to revert to old WordPress OR you can even use page builders.

### "WordPress improved our web presence with little effort"

September 10, 2021

4.0

We love WordPress. In one of our companies, a staff member took upon them to set up their website to save on cost. Web development companies are expensive. I set up WordPress for them. They were able to set up a website and go live within days at a fraction of the cost they would have otherwise paid to marketing agencies. SEO has worked great. Forms have worked well. We have enjoyed moving all of our sites to WordPress.

Pros

WordPress is easy! Within 20 minutes, we had our website up and running. With a 30 minute training session, staff was able to post blogs, create pages, create menus and set up forms. Prior to WordPress, setting up a website was a project. With WordPress, website management is a breeze.

Cons

When automatic updates break something, it's not easy to debug. For those users who don't host WordPress themselves, this would be less of an issue. We host WordPress sites ourselves and enable automated updates. Once in a while updates break our site and we have to debug it by logging on to our servers.

Reason for choosing WordPress

WordPress was very easy compared to other alternatives. The plugin ecosystem was very convenient and we had local developers who could helps move our aspirations forward with WordPress.
