The only provider of its type to use!!!

5,0 vorige maand Nieuw

Opmerkingen: Wordpress is the main reason my business exists. We moved from pure HTML to Wordpress in 2008 and have never looked back.

Pluspunten:

Wordpress is so intuitive and I understand its logic. It is really easy to use - for people of all levels of knowledge. I usually set it all up then train a client so they can add/edit content themselves.

Minpunten:

I can't list any cons because I don't see any!!!

It's free, easy-to-use and ideal for building great websites

5,0 3 weken geleden Nieuw

Opmerkingen: WordPress helps me to design websites for my customers on Fiverr and in my location easily. It's a time-saver.

Pluspunten:

WordPress as per my experience offers the best website content management solutions for individuals and large businesses to set up professional websites even with no skills in PHP, CSS, or Javascript. It's easy to use and very flexible too. It's fully translated into more than 60 international languages among which English and French are my primary languages. With its multi-language support, I can easily work on websites for clients in English & French-speaking zones.WordPress strives to provide quality and a great speed performance experience to users which makes it a reliable platform for large websites like eCommerce stores.WordPress also offers a comprehensive repository of great plugins and themes that are one-click ready to install and customize. It's not perfect but, I prefer it over a few others.

Minpunten:

There is not enough support for users (other than answers from the WP forum itself).

I like that WordPress is part of an opensource community and is free to use.

Minpunten:

I don't like dealing with it's plugins and template systems for making small changes.

My Honest WordPress Review

5,0 vorige maand Nieuw

Opmerkingen: Our experience is generally positive because WordPress makes it easy to build professional websites within a very short time. It offers many themes and plugins to customize a website to meet clients expectations. The clean design that makes it easy for inexperienced individuals to get started without asking too much training.

Pluspunten:

I like its clean dashboard that allows me to choose theme, install relevant plugins, and manage content. I also like the compatibility with many apps and plugins we use to customize websites for our clients. Whether we want to enhance SEO, create contact forms, integrate with social media platforms, or enhance appearance, WordPress makes everything easy, especially for someone like me who learned web design on the job.

Minpunten:

Sometimes you need to use too many plugins to meet the needs of the client since some clients request a website with very specific features. This can be time consuming and overwhelming. Some of our clients expressed concerns about WordPress security believing it could be targeted by hackers. However, I have not experienced any security challenges for time I've used it.

It's #1 for a Reason

5,0 4 weken geleden Nieuw

Opmerkingen: I have used WordPress to implement dozens of sites for numerous clients and organizations, as well as personal projects. It has been a tremendous resource to get sites off the ground quickly and eliminate much of the overhead related to traditional web development.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is free, very extensible, easy to use, and has the largest usage of all website builders. It can be used for all types of sites, including e-commerce shops, blogs, portfolio sites, corporate sites, internal intranet sites, and everything in between. It is easy to get started and can scale to the largest of sites.

Minpunten:

It is very easy to break things. While this makes it much more flexible and customizable, it can make it more intimating for new website owners when plugin and theme conflicts, automatic updates, and online code snippets can bring your site down. The plugin ecosystem can also make it feel very piecemeal and less cohesive.

A Great Solution for Experts and for People who don't know a single line of code

5,0 4 weken geleden Nieuw

Opmerkingen: Wordpress saved me a lot fo time in developing not only websites, but also platforms with complex services for various clients.

Pluspunten:

WP, for those who need more than a blog, is downloadable and installable apart from Wordpress.com. Is totally customizable, constantly updated and have a HUGE community and a very rich documentation.

Minpunten:

The fact that there are so many thir party plugins around, means that at every update we need to be very careful to not break anything because of incompatibility problems. Also, the more plugins one install the more slow our website become. Sometimes is difficult to find a issue, and the debug steps requires to literally shut down the website deactivating everything.The security can be improved by default, instead of forcing a user to move and hide things around only after installation and manually.

WordPress is an intuitive and easy to use platform.

5,0 vorige maand Nieuw

Opmerkingen: The main argument in favor that I have of its use is its simplicity and ease of use. No deep technical knowledge is required to create a basic website with WordPress. The user interface is intuitive and friendly, allowing users to seamlessly create and manage their sites. There are thousands of themes available in the WordPress library that I use frequently, allowing me to choose from a wide range of styles and layouts. In addition, there are numerous SEO plugins available that help improve optimization even further.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is an intuitive and easy to use platform, which makes it ideal for beginners or anyone because it is also deep if desired. No programming or web design knowledge is required to easily manage, update and customize the site. As I mentioned, it is highly scalable, which means it can handle everything from small blogs to high-traffic websites with no problem. Also, new functionality and features can be easily added as the site grows.

Minpunten:

The software regularly has updates to fix bugs and improve security, as as an open source platform, WordPress is an attractive target for hackers. However, these updates can be inconvenient and take time and effort to implement. And well, sometimes they can cause compatibility problems or even contain malicious code.

Essential for creating your website

4,0 vorige maand Nieuw

Opmerkingen: If you are looking for a versatile and easy-to-use platform to create your website, WordPress by Automattic is a great option. However, it is important to consider the security and performance of the website, so it is recommended to follow good security and optimization practices

Pluspunten:

What I like about this solution is that it is easy to use, advanced programming knowledge is not required to use WordPress. Its installation is simple and its friendly interface makes it easy to create and manage content, it also has thousands of free and paid themes and plugins that allow you to customize and expand the functionality of your website. It also comes with search engine optimization (SEO) tools that will help you improve the positioning of your website in search results.

Minpunten:

Due to the popularity of WordPress, regular updates can require time and effort to keep the website up to date.

Still the best CMS and Website Builder

5,0 11 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: overall, WordPress is a robust an excellent system that I highly recommend for small and medium sized businesses.

Pluspunten:

using WordPress has allowed us to take website development, fully in-house without hiring programmers or outsourcing. What I like most about WordPress is the availability of thousands of templates, compatibility with hundreds of third-party, software, integrations, and the ability to create a professional e-commerce website without any prior coding experience.

Minpunten:

because there are so many features. Sometimes it is easy to get confused exactly where changes should be made and requires some digging around for the correct settings.

Wordpress for your website, ecommerce or what you need to do online

5,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: For example, when I have needed a system to only make material available to members, I have been able to build it quite easily with Wordpress. The company's website runs on Wordpress. E-commerce runs with Wordpress and WooCommerce. There are times when a special system works better than a Wordpress site, but the possibilities are great with Wordpress at a reasonable cost.

Pluspunten:

The biggest advantage of Wordpress is the open source software that has made it possible for you to find all kinds of building blocks that you could possibly need. You can build a complete e-commerce site for free and you can build a support site for your company without it costing you a penny. The possibilities with Wordpress are practically endless. Its prevalence also makes it easy to find qualified professional help at a reasonable cost.

Minpunten:

The open, free system also means that you are expected to take care of everything yourself - or, hire the knowledge. So the threshold can be high for those who are not used to it, but help is available.

Wish is was simpler to use

5,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with wordpress is good I still use it for my business, great features but a little to difficult to use especially for someone with little to no knowledge on designing and customizing a website for their business.

Pluspunten:

There are great features in Wordpress, the free website is very useful. I used the free and paid plans. I think wordpress for me the free website sometimes comes like a paid website I am still able to reach people, well maybe not as much as the paid website. But it is still very useful.

Minpunten:

It gets a bit complicated to use at times. It took me quite sometime to actually figure out how to use it and I have and still use wordpress for 2 years and no doubt I still have a difficult time using it for my business.

Versatile with plenty of options!

4,0 4 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

5,0 2 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: WordPress is the only way to build a website, as far as I'm concerned. A business is not a template of another company--it's as individual as its website should be.

Pluspunten:

I've built sites in Squarespace, Wix, hand coded old school in Adobe Dreamworks, and much older versions of WordPress without all the WYSIWYG platforms, and WordPress is by far the easiest, most comprehensive, and most flexible of all the platforms. It's a truly customizable CMS that has the capacity for stunning websites. There are so many great integrations for online businesses, including mail servers, online booking, and online stores.

Minpunten:

Like the title says, it's not intended for non-engineers/developers. Squarespace and Wix use more intuitive language and auto mobile settings, but they have massive limitations in what's possible. Just wrap your head around WordPress using any of the thousands of how-to videos online, and you'll be building like a pro in no time.

an open source content management system (CMS)

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: While using this system one feels easier since most of the things are simplified. The system is free to install hence most of the people find it economical to use the system. The system has fewer cons compared to pros making it suitable to use.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is an open source content management system (CMS) that is free and it is usually based on MySQL and PHP. This system has features that include a template system and plugin architecture. This system is majorly used for blogging where the bloggers can use it in posting their blog on the social platform. There is about 60 million websites that use this system so that they can able to perform various functions. The web server is where WordPress is installed so that it can be able to function. Despite been used by many users, this system has its pros and cons that limit its usage. The pros of this system are numeral in number. They include; Good security due to updates Good performance The system is Mobile friendly It is cheaper to use the system Most of the sites use WordPress This system has good and efficient updates. The updates are usually rolled out in CMS this helps in enhancing the security of the stem making it very strong. The system is designed with minimal code that makes the system load quickly minimizing the time taken to load. The themes in WordPress are integrated such that they can be able to show on mobile devices. These themes make mobile users enjoy different themes in the system. Installation of this WordPress in the server is totally free. This makes it cheaper to a majority of the people who would wish to use it. Most of the sites opt to use WordPress hence making it suitable to many users.

Minpunten:

WordPress on the other has the cons that make it unsuitable to use the system. The disadvantages are as follows; There is a lot of updates The site is prone to hacks Planning is required Updates do appear on these sites and this causes discomfort to the user such that he/she may be required to do some updates leading to loss of time doing these activities. This site is also prone to hackers who attack the system trying to access information from the system. Planning is required while using this system. One needs to organize on what activities to perform on this website and plan on the type of website to create.

The best option for any web development project

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I personally prefer WordPress.org for all my web development needs. Not only is the installation quick and painless, but the level of control is exactly what I like to ave (and what my web development clients like to take with them). WordPress installations are also easily migrated, so it's easy to develop a website in a test environment before launching it publicly on a live domain. Overall, the amount of time saved compared to hand-coding an entire website is invaluable!

Pluspunten:

WordPress.com offers a simple setup process and allows you to focus on your website's contents; without having to worry at all about managing a host server, performing regular backups and maintenance, implementing and monitoring security measures, etc. WordPress handles all the technical heavy lifting for you for peace of mind. For the most tech savvy, WordPress.org offers an independent installation of the content management system so you can implement it on your own custom domain and web hosting account/server. While offering a much more powerful implementation that also allows for in-depth customization by the user(s), there are "easy install" options offered on many hosting providers to allow for a speedier installation process of the WordPress.org platform. Various free and pay-for third party plugins are available for just about any feature or capability you wish to add or improve to your WordPress installation (front-end or back-end). A limited set of plugins and themes are available to WordPress.com users, but the entire catalog of plugins and themes is available to WordPress.org users and all are easy to install and maintain (though usability may vary in ease of use).

Minpunten:

WordPress.com does not allow for full control by the user(s). However, this is done for reliable uptime and security of your website. WordPress.org does require a higher level of comfortability using a cloud-based resources. With that said though, posting/editing posts and pages is no more difficult than using a local installation of Microsoft Word on your computer, or a cloud based word processing tool like G Suite/Google Docs. I do recommend at least one user have somewhat of a deeper understanding of web development, web hosting, HTML/CSS, etc. While these skills are not necessary, they can be very beneficial in certain circumstances.

Why I think everyone should be using WordPress

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: For any any start up I would recommend using WordPress its easy to use and it grows with you.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is 100% free!!!!!! I have been using WordPress for years ( i.e WordPress.com and WordPress.org) back when I was junior systems administrator and now that I'm self employed, and I will tell you its ridiculously easy to use. You don't need any specialized web development or programming skills to use it. Everything is almost plug and play. In fact if you can turn on a computer, If you and read and if you can click with a mouse, you can use WordPress. Its that simple and easy to use. WordPress is the platform most commerce sites/blogs are built on consequently when it comes to apps and support there is no lack of finding any. Even thought I said WordPress is free and it is. There are some cost associated with using the service or application. The cloud or online based service allows you to host you WordPress site for free or use one of their other offering for a fee. However there is the free application and easily downloadable software, for which the only cost associated is hosting and maybe the design of a theme if you don't want to use any of the free ones available all over the Internet. It doesn't matter what you need a site for whether blogging, personal or ecommerce, WordPress can do it. Your WordPress site will always look the same. It doesn't matter what operating system it being hosted or viewed from, whether its a mobile device or desktop, Its going to be the same and legibly too.

Minpunten:

The choices of themes and plugins can be very overwhelming especially to a newbie. The free cloud based version is limited re the use of plugins but you a good cadre of free plugins from Jetpack

A great self-hosted blogging system to power your site

4,0 7 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: I have started using Wordpress about a year ago to power my website as I did not have time to design it via code and i also did not want to have to pay for a developer. I installed a Bitnami AMI on an Amazon EC2 micro instance, and it ran very well and surprised me with the response times. Once i started looking at themes I found tons of really nice, visually stunning, and pixel-perfect themes, that once coupled with a few plugins, let me build a site that I still can't believe "I" made, and updating is easier than writing this review, I am serious. After I got my site up and running, I had a friend that wanted to make a social media site, so by using WordPress, the BuddyPress plugin, a social oriented theme and a few more plugins, we had a site that I personally think was easier to use and better looking than facebook, with the same features as facebook,, and offered full integration with facebook, linked-in, google +, and a few other sites. We were even able to offer webmail through the site, making it a one stop portal. We did this with 0 prior programming experience, for free.

Pluspunten:

It can be obtained and operated for 0 upfront and maintenance fees by using the AWS EC2 1 year trial, and is very easy to deploy onto a server, with images available to have you running with a few clicks. Wordpress is simple to use and administer, and amazingly powerful once you start looking into plugins, quite literally every idea you dream up has been put together with a plugin, you have the power to do so much with it. So, fast install, easy to use, VERY easy to administer and update, and extremely powerful.

Minpunten:

Out of the box, wordpress is a blog, and it has just a cheapish, free software/shareware type feel to and is just bland, but with a bit of effort, it can be awesome. I wish they would include an easy to use theme maker for it, or offer a built in yearly theme that is more website oriented than just blog oriented, considering how many people use wordpress to power full sites.

The good, the bad and the conclusion

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: If you are a simple person like me, and beginning the process of creating a new website without needing to know advanced skills, you will definitely want to start out with Wordpress, since its interface is easy to use. I believe the benefits outweigh the few disadvantages, having in mind that even if content such as plugins and themes are vulnerable to security risks, Wordpress still offers a wide range of this content like no other platform. Remember, the platform is intuitive and highly customizable; The Wordpress dashboard, where you will be managing all of the content in your page, contains all the options to customize key functions. It takes some time to become familiar with all the management options, but once you have done so, you will fully improve your abilities to enhance the personality and design of your content.

Pluspunten:

Nowadays, Wordpress is the most used platform when it comes to building new websites, and its first major advantage is that it is cost effective. The cost of customization tools available and the maintenance expenses are outweighed by the profit you'll earn in the long run. In addition, it is an SEO friendly platform, meaning that the coding used enables you to customize the components of pages that you want to rank higher in search engines.

Minpunten:

That due to being an open source platform, it is vulnerable when it comes to security. Plugins and themes can be developed by different persons and companies around the world, meaning that there is no way to monitor their contents. They can very easily contain harmful coding or bugs within them. Also, for the same reason that it is open-sourced, Wordpress does not offer support, and if you have no basic knowledge of programming, coding, designing, etc, you will have to seek help at the online forums.

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

5,0 6 jaar geleden

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

5,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: i have been blogging on the wordpress platform for long and i have been able to create a pool of information for the right people to access for their enlightenment.

Pluspunten:

user friendly content management software platform that allows for easy navigation of posts and pages, an attribute which can be traced back to the platform's origin in the blogosphere. This makes it the number one go-to platform for everyone with little or no website management knowledge looking to oversee the affairs of their websites all by themselves. Wordpress as a blogging platform gives room for the usage of plugins, both free and paid(for pro versions of most plugins), this singular feature makes blogging on the wordpress platform look like magic as there is always a plugin for everything you want to make happen on the blog. Wordpress provides for website compactness and responsiveness across all internet enabled gadgets, thereby making clients' websites mobile and search engine friendly. Wordpress help its users focus on search engine optimization as there is options to optimize meta tags, blog posts and keyword focus of choice

Minpunten:

updates that are meant to improve and enhance functionality of sites hosted on the wordpress platform can sometimes be a nuisance as some updates end up breaking the functionality of the website hosted on the wordpress platform. The open source status quo of the content management software makes it prone to attacks from hackers who are looking to hold blog owners to a ransom. Some themes on the wordpress platform are just too heavy to properly execute just in time to consider a blog fast enough.

Wordpress is perfect for your first website

4,0 5 jaar geleden

Opmerkingen: Overall, I am going to put a lot more effort into learning in-depth learning of module development, and custom field design and display. I am also excited about the Gutenberg new connection, and perhaps because I don't have a lot of old Wordpress site, it will be easier for me to take advantage of this new direction.

Pluspunten:

I returned to Wordpress after a break of about 10 years, and was pleasantly surprised to see just how far the software had come. The early "blog" has evolved into a framework that I can build smaller sites quickly and easily, with all the sophisticated graphics and mobile-friendly design features that take hours to programme manually. In particular the choice of themes is impressive, and the top themes have free versions that are more than adequate for many small entrepreneurs. The page builders allows some sophisticated designs, especially for one-page websites. Probably the most important benefit is how easy the initial installation is, and how easy one can migrate form a production server to the final host. This is not easy on most frameworks, as there is often a change of platform.

Minpunten:

The constant updating of plugins is tiring, although well handled. I have had a few issues with the sites not switching out of maintenance mode (you have to check every time). I find hunting down the right plugin a nuisance - so many are weak and it is only after installing them you realise. Some leave behind "junk" files and database entries, that are then carried over forever. I would like to have a little more reporting and display flexibility, without having to use Pods (very manual) or a paid plugin for database fields. Perhaps the most irritating thing that would be VERY easy to change - on the plugin downloads page, when you do a search the items don't have an order - it would be nice to be able to get the most popular downloads first - I keep getting offered plugins that are brand new or almost unused first. Finally after 3 pages I find one of the most popular plugins for doing this particular task.

WordPress is the #1 Website building platform for a reason

5,0 11 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: Generally speaking my experiences are universally positive! As a platform placed midway between the "Creative" and "Technical" ends of the development spectrum, it suits me down to the ground. I appreciate that not everyone may agree (full-on Developers finding it a little restrictive and Mass-Market, with Creatives disliking pretty much all of the Page Builders available (save for those which are VISUAL - but then in turn perform badly and are very s-l-o-w to work with as a direct consequence / side-effect of their visual beauty...

Pluspunten:

Flexibility and scalability! WordPress truly does offer a website platform that really can grow with your own business operations over time - without needing to go back to the drawing board (with the exception of if a complete redesign is deemed necessary or the most cost-effective option). Even then, WordPress should remain high on your short-list if you find yourself surveying other options out there. It works!

Minpunten:

Naturally given the sheer SIZE and popularity of the platform, there ARE hundreds or garbage plugins (and themes) out there - all of which should be avoided (but can sometimes be cleverly branded cutely - so as to give the impression the tool(s) is/are good.. when in fact they might damage your Site, or worse still break it completely. Plugin buyer/downloaders... BEWARE!! Also... I can't pass through a "Cons" box about WordPress without mentioning the debacle that was (and for me continues to be...) Gutenberg. As the much heralded new built-in page and post editor, I think it is fair to say that WordPress well and truly botched that one.. and whilst they've since rebuilt many bridges regarding it in the WP community, I for one remain distanced from it. I simply don't *need* it anyway, which is a relief!
