WordPress Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WordPress as the base for my page builder so that I can get the custom results I am hoping for at that time. I dont have a problem with the templates other than not being a big fan of how they work. Also since I dont do blogging I am really looking for more of a website functionality.

Like any other platform, you really have to understand how it works. It is more complicated than a lot of the newer SaaS platforms that are on the market meaning that its easier to get things wrong. The WordPress community is starting to have a lot of politics in it making it a challenge to just do your thing and not get dragged into being on "one side or the other".

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WordPress for multiple websites in our business. We previously had a different approach to building a webpage, but quickly realized, that many things we wanted to implement were not possible, or we were stuck with that one web designer who were never able to reach. Since switching to WordPress we can change things on the webpage easily, can integrate many other apps and resources by ourselves and have an online presence that seems trustworthy and modern.

If you are a beginner in web design and you want to have your own website without much hassle WordPress is well suited. It is easy to change many things by yourself, easy to add plugins to cater more to your individual needs and cannot be used just as a blog but a full website. If you want a super personalized version not supported by WordPress, than it is obviously not for your business.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WordPress runs our main website, and always non technical people to make post and updates

Well suited for dynamic content management for non technical people. Has to be worked around for serving up large files

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wordpress is our go-to platform for building websites, whether internal intranets, CRM-esque systems, or just full-on B2B or B2C sites. It's our agency-level expertise, and we much prefer it to other systems, including Joomla and Drupal.

Wordpress is a great solution for a website of nearly any type. It may not be as suitable if a fully custom solution or app is needed, and it does have some limitations when it comes to connecting it to external products (especially if the product doesn't have any support from a native system), and it does require a lot of testing. Multiple plugins in one install are common but also increase the risk of conflicts, and when those do occur, it can be exceptionally time-consuming and tedious to identify what is causing the issue. As third parties create many plugins, you're also at risk with each potential security breach, which needs to be kept in mind. I would be cautious to use WordPress to store any sort of sensitive PPI. That said, it's a wonderful, easily customizable solution for many, many different types of websites and can allow even inexperienced client users with low-tech knowledge to update basics.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Several of the agencies and freelancers I manage use WordPress as their chosen CMS for their B2B sites. It serves the purpose of offering a shopfront for them in the online world and giving them flexibility of setup.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would certainly recommend WordPress in the context of smaller startups or freelancers with limited funds. The ongoing costs are a lot lower than that of other competitors such as Squarespace, WIX, or Weebly even. Whilst it is not great for D2C and ecommerce it is often a good platform for brochure sites.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I help some of my customers with their WordPress accounts and find it pretty easy to work with. For the most part, the customer can do some updates on their own and keeping a site current is very important. A nice looking website keeps users engaged and having it up-to-date helps get them to become a prospect.

If someone needs a new website quickly and wants to make changes often, WordPress is probably their best choice. I've seen other use alternative web site builders but I always warn them to be sure they can move their website if needed. Some places are so integrated with the services background code that it can't run in any other environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used WordPress to help build our website, mostly creating webforms and utilizing the built-in widgets to enhance the look and feel of our pages and to attract more visitors to our page. The product was extremely affordable and each to use, however, there were limitations on what we could and could not do.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my opinion, smaller organizations with simpler layouts would be well suited to use WordPress, however, larger organizations with more advanced website feature needs may need another product. We found the website to be great at first, but as we grew, we needed more options that were not fitting for the product we had with WordPress and had to look at alternatives.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WordPress for my company's website. It helps me share about my brand, about who I am and why I am qualified to sell what I offer, helps me share what I offer in a visually pleasing way, and it also hosts my blog and sales pages.

If you are selling a service or digital products, or are a writer wanting to host a blog, I think WordPress would be awesome for you!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WordPress has been the Go-to platform for our website for over 15 years.

We tried Joomla and Apple Iweb before this. Nothing comapres to WordPress for its ease of use, its flexibility, the way the web pages are seen on cell phone and tablets and its overall stability.

We have had 10 sites using WordPress, some with Woe Commerce plug in , some with OptimizePress plug in and some WordPress native .

Our main web site as over 800 pages includin a 700+-posts blog.

Flawless!!

Definitely the one platform I would recommend more than anything I have seen.

The ready-to-use web site platforms offered all over the web, Facebook and Youtube are OK to start but everyone I know who has used those ready -to-go platforms are disappointed after a while. The bells and whistles of those sites are no match with WordPress powerful and flexible design tools.

WordPress beats them all! IT takes almost no time to learn and use it adequately.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to create our webiste. It was hard, really complicated to use, to include plugins, if you add one, the other one breaks, really hard to maintain, to organize and make it work. Not a very friendly system if you don;t have the proper experience. If you are not trined in every single plugin they have, you need to hire an expert and it will cost more money.

Likelihood to Recommend

You need a web developer to create a proper website using WordPress. Is not that friendly for companies without experience to "build your own" website. It's easy to access, to set an account, to buy a domain and hosting, but to create and build the website, is not that simple.
