WordPress reviews

The best web site builder on the market.

Opmerkingen: WordPress, is in my opinion the best website builder in the market, as it has positioned and established itself as one of the references for many factors, which for me are so helpful plugins that a couple of times have saved my life. The endless templates for any business make it easier to make your website unique and give it a different personality for the added value that your company has.

Pluspunten:

By having this software, you have total freedom to customize your website, either for blog or eCommerce. So there are several plugins to make your site perfect and customized. Besides having the Google package already integrated, you can easily measure your metrics and analyze what is working on your site to improve in the future.

Minpunten:

I really don't see any cons to this software, as it is easy for the user to create pages and sites for their business. With about 10 minutes of learning inside the software, we can easily manage the platform, thanks to its changed interface that makes it easier to edit pages, plugins, site metrics, etc.

The go-to solution for website publishing

Opmerkingen: I can build landings for clients or personal projects in just a couple of hours with the big repository of WordPress

Pluspunten:

With the autoinstallers usually present in a hosting, deploying a website with WordPress is just a matter of minutes.

Minpunten:

BackEnd a bit outdated. It's years that it is the same UI/UX

Customizable but technical

Pluspunten:

The tool overall allows for you to completely customize everything – whether it be a blog or an entire website. When using WordPress to publish blog articles, things are pretty straightforward and clear on how to publish things exactly the way you want them.

Minpunten:

Our technical setup needed to have an engineer ready to push all our changes to production due to where we host our site. Although this was how we ran things, it doesn't mean that it needs to be the same for others. However, this setup made the content publication process tedious.WordPress also is best used by people with at least a small portion of coding skills. It's not 100% necessary but will help you get the most out of the tool.

From landing pages to a fully managed marketplace, WordPress is the best bet

Opmerkingen: I love WordPress and I've been using it for many years now, for personal websites and for my clients. This is a great and mature tool, easy to use and customize. And the most I like is that no matter what kind of website you are planing to make, out there you can find a theme and the plugins needed to make it happen.

Pluspunten:

The most I like about WordPress is the huge ecosystem built around it. With the core installation you can get a nice small website. But if you need additional features, you're covered with thousands and thousands of plugins and themes build for every single need you can imagine.

Minpunten:

In complex websites (e.g. a marketplace for courses for hundreds of students) you may need to install dozens of plugins, and this could impact your website performance. Of course, you can install another plugin to optimize your installation, but this could be a time-consuming trial and error process, and not always you get the best results. Besides, installing too many plugins increases your chances of incompatibility and security issues. Be aware of using too many plugins.

WordPress - An Outstanding Website Building Tool

Opmerkingen: Overall, WordPress is an outstanding website building tool that has been a staple of the web development community for years. Its user-friendly interface, powerful features, and customization options make it a great choice for anyone looking to build a website.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is an incredibly powerful platform that is incredibly easy to use. Even for novice website builders, WordPress is a great option. It's powerful enough to handle complex websites, yet simple enough to be user-friendly. It also offers a variety of themes and plugins, making customization easy and convenient.

Minpunten:

Although WordPress is user-friendly, it can be difficult to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Additionally, WordPress can be a bit slow at times, which can be frustrating.

Like the basic functionality and affordable price

Opmerkingen: Generally a positive experience, good deals, but a very steep learning curve for the first time user. I do like the end result, and the cost is a little reasonable compared to other services. The new app is pretty good, and easy to use across different phones.

Pluspunten:

Very affordable service, and enough tools to start your own web page by yourself. I like the templates that are offered and how you can add email to tour website. The pages in the end looks great, and there are great tools and ad-ons, such owning aa domain or email based domain via Titanmail. The app to edit your page is useful too.

Minpunten:

Very steep learning curve to the uninitiated, feels like you have to hire someone to max out its full potential, or pay alot more on add ons to make your website close to professional looking. Not much drag or drop functions, not sure if that's an add on. I love the conversion preview when you choose a template and how it compares to from pc web page to mobile web. I wish the learning curve wasn't too steep.

Great for Upgrading from Drag and Drop, Not for Everyone

Opmerkingen: Good. I like WordPress, find it completely functional for the-next-step-up of websites when your business is beginning to grow; however, there are some noticeable problems. Some features glitch, some of the cheaper (more affordable) website templates are not worth the money, and the backend admin dashboard can take a long time to load.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is a great step up for a more fully functional, customised website than some of the more popular 'drag and drop' providers.

Minpunten:

That said, it's not for everyone. If you're unfamiliar with the features available (and not super confident adopting new ICT systems) it's probably best to watch a tutorial, outsource, or give yourself the time needed to understand the platform before having to set up a new website quickly.

Simply the most robust open source CMS out there.

Pluspunten:

Easy to set up, it's written in PHP and there is no lack of PHP developers out there. It's not expensive to hire one off any freelance platforms to install and customize it for you. Literally hundreds of thousands of plugins written for Wordpress. Need something? Likely someone already wrote a plugin for it.

Minpunten:

Security is a huge issue, since Wordpress is the most popular CMS out there in the market, it is very easy to get hacked. Only set up your own Wordpress hosting from scratch if you have computer security background.

Best CMS to Manage Blog

Opmerkingen: I use almost all website and blogs on WordPress including eCommerce because I can easily manage all posts, pages, add functions, and optimize for SEO.

Pluspunten:

It has a large community of developers who create and share themes and plugins, which allow users to easily add functionality and design to their websites. You do not have to pay anything to use WordPress; it is free forever.

Minpunten:

It required some technical knowledge to manage it, and it needed web hosting to be installed on the server.

Super amazing tool for content creators

Opmerkingen: WordPress is great for startups with no basic coding skills and limited budget. With a little bit of creativity, you can do anything you want. I love it

Pluspunten:

No need to have coding skills. Research and find the right theme, with a click, its installed. And there are tons of free plugins for literally everything you want on your website. Super!

Minpunten:

Sometimes plugins cause some features on the website to misbehave. And I wish all themes and plugins update automatically. Because when you leave the site for just a short period, some features become inactive when a plugin or theme gets a new update.

Extremely flexible, feature rich website platform

Opmerkingen: This platform is the foundation of our current business operations - we use it for all client websites. It is an incredible tool when used in the way it was intended, and allows our clients to maintain ownership of and flexibility updating their websites themselves.

Pluspunten:

WordPress being the most widely used website platform on the internet makes it also the most flexible and feature-rich from our experience. If there's something you want to do, someone has figured out how to do it already and you can benefit from that. If you're experiencing an issue, someone else has also likely experience that issue and has figured it out, again benefiting you. I love how this platform can be the foundation for almost anything you can dream up aesthetically and functionally.

Minpunten:

It isn't necessarily intuitive for someone who has never used it before, which creates a relatively steep learning curve for someone wanting to build a site themselves. Also, it is VERY easy to hire someone who makes WordPress hard to use and edit things on your own site which is a shame, but a result of the flexibility of the platform and the abundance of people who offer WordPress related services at a discount.

Develop Instant Website for any Company

Opmerkingen: I am a blogger and using WordPress since 2018 and find it very helpful. I can manage the whole team easily and efficiently. It provides me whole features to design and develop my website without any hustle. I am very satisfied with the WordPress platform because it helping me a lot without taking my extra time.

Pluspunten:

WordPress is one of the best platforms that allow us to develop our own website for free. The dashboard of the platform is quite easy and attractive. The Integration level of WordPress is on the next level because it can easily integrate any plugin by just a simple search in the plugin option. It is very secure as well as easy to use with a simple interface.

Minpunten:

Updates are the biggest cons of WordPress in which there is the possibility of losing data. Sometimes it is difficult to find the related plugin according to your desire then you need to develop custom plugins.

Couldn’t live without it!

Opmerkingen: I absolutely love using Wordpress and truly can’t imagine ever using anything else to build a site.

Pluspunten:

I’ve been using Wordpress for the last 10 years - starting with a simple blog, and working my way up to a full e-commerce and subscription site. It is absolutely indispensable and has always been a pleasure to use. I honestly can’t believe it remains free, and am consistently pleased by the updates the Automattic team makes. Publishing is a breeze, the integrations are endless (literally ANY type of website is possible) and after acclimating to Gutenberg blocks, I am so pleased to be able to drop the page-builder I was using (instant page speed improvement). Though some may feel there’s a bit of a learning curve, I think *most* of their UI choices remain fairly intuitive (especially compared to some of the other CMS options!). I love that I can easily manage my entire shop via Woocommerce in the backend, and have been impressed with what specific theme integrations and plugins can automate for me so I can focus on publishing content rather than spending all my time managing it.

Minpunten:

The one thing I’ve noticed that irks me since the adoption of Gutenberg blocks is that there can a bit of a lag when typing or choosing block options. The blocks can be a bit buggy at times, which can be irritating when in the middle of writing a long post. I also dislike that the post view defaults to “fullscreen mode” even if I’ve previously switched it to keep the sidebar in view. The dashboard view also feels a bit tired and could use an overhaul.

WordPress: A Complete CMS To Start Swiftly Your Brand New Website/Blog

Opmerkingen: WordPress helps to make a powerful website or web application, it suitable if you are in hurry to start your website, it has multiple plugin which saves your development time. With WordPress you can easily build eCommerce based website and other services related websites, within few days if you have all the resources required to build it. My overall experience with WordPress is very impressive.

Pluspunten:

WordPress allows to quickly setup and go live with few customization, I like its installation facility with too easy to use. It has n number of plugin which are free and as well as premium version as well, you may choose accordingly to your requirement. Its best for blogging purpose or for personal website, its easy to maintain and upgrade-able.

Minpunten:

Its become complicated if you install multiple plugin without knowing is it compatible or not. So make sure you must update only when you need to update it. Otherwise its very convenient to use and maintain through out the development stages. It allows to share plugins or code to reuse in other project as well.

The Essential Web Platform for Flexibility and Depth

Opmerkingen: WordPress is terrific. It gives us a platform where we can combine plugins and themes that speed up or automatically accomplish many otherwise-tedious tasks, but gives us options through plugins or back-end editing to add whatever functionality or customization we need. It is an exceptionally powerful open-source platform. Our only complaint is that the wide variety of options sometimes means that even simple tasks require a tremendous amount of involvement and decision-making. But these are few and far between.

Pluspunten:

WordPress offers unmatched depth of customization WordPress also offers a wide variety of attractive prebuilt themes, templates and simple front-end builders The documentation and support is freely available and extremely helpful The plugin store includes helpful information about each plugin to assist users in making choices about modifying their website

Minpunten:

With great customization comes density of options—some tasks are excessively complex to achieve Some utility tasks are offloaded to plugins, which necessitates a never-ending search for the right plugin to accomplish a basic task

WordPress and Encouraging Words

Opmerkingen: I was using an old website and switched over to WordPress. Overall, the customer service experience was ideal. They treated me with respect and did not awkwardly tell me that any question I may have asked was stupid. They emailed multiple times quite efficiently and helped me along the way. It has allowed for my blog to become decently popular and people seem to enjoy what I tend to ramble about. The different templates have worked out well dependent on what topic I am working through.

Pluspunten:

The thing I liked the most about WordPress is that it is easy to use when beginning your own blog. Many, don't believe that their blogs will become popular. It can be a place where you rant and maybe one or two people will stumble across your words on the online page, and maybe or maybe not be encouraged. One of the biggest things that is liked the most is that it is workable for both beginners and professional writers. It also comes at a reasonable cost. The templates and features are definitely a step in the write direction for having and obtaining a successful blog. There are multiple features and templates which guide you in the right direction for whatever topic you may be rambling about. It allows for a free option, which many websites do not offer "good" free options. However, if you are looking for a more progressive way to write and capture attentions, the advanced options come at a reasonable price.

Minpunten:

There are very few cons when it comes to WordPress. The only negative for other business owners would be that it does not allow for many other builds. This seems to be directly targeted for writing and creating blogs. It also took a few minutes for me to become accustomed to it when switching from another product. It is crucial that you know some coding in order to be able to use the application properly. The negative to this is that if you do not know much about coding, it will take a while to navigate through most of the application.

If you can think in any tiny way like an engineer (and not just the end user), WordPress is the best

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.

WordPress is being used.

Opmerkingen: Overall this the best software to build a Landing page very fast with in hours and add plugins, addons and convenient theme for your business.

Pluspunten:

It the a best option for non tech guys to build an fast blog like website or download of the themes and apply to Wordpress. This is the fast solution of newly starting businesses for building an landing page and integrate some plugin on third party software. Of course it could be use more professional solutions but this is the best for starting. Additionally telling it has tons of plugins available for this software.

Minpunten:

There may a lot of cons on this but I can mention the one and most famous that sites on Wordpress is running very slow. if it's not configured well the code is becoming mess and it's hard to fix something when non professionals work on it.

Hey Look, Another WordPress Site

Opmerkingen: WordPress is great for what it is. A content management system for posting. If you are still of the opinion that you need a website, and don't have a lot of skills to do so, WordPress can provide EVERYTHING you need, with the exceptions of what it can't do (and you'll likely hit those barriers, but be okay with it). If you are an advanced web developer, you'll find it intriguing, the simplicity. The difficulty in making a 100% custom theme will likely lead you to a commercial theme (template?), but then you'll settle for something that works, especially a few versions later. Maintaining updates isn't a big deal, but don't let your website go stagnant. Overall, I am happy with what WordPress brings to my table, having multiple sites running the software. It's not perfect, but I don't think there is anything closer.

Pluspunten:

Wordpress is an excellent, low barrier of entry platform (CMS) for the web. It's useful for beginners, and features that will be handy for advanced users. "Web Skills" are not required for anyone, and it's an excellent publishing platform to allow a variety of users, with permissions, access to add content. It's reasonably fast, and has plugins galore. (Boy does it have plugins). There are piles and piles of themes out there, so you can get pretty close to whatever you want out of your WordPress site. There is a nice app that works well for remote posting, but I do prefer my desktop.

Minpunten:

WordPress is basically the #1 CMS in the world. That also means, it's the top targeted platform. Every exploit, web hijack script on earth is targeting your system. Have a strong password, have an SSL key, and keep it up to-date or you will get hacked. And even then, you might still get brute forced. Dynamic sites don't scale very well with a high number of users, or an extreme amount of content. Plugins are a blessing and a curse. You could setup some advanced things that then get "lost" when the plugin is no longer supported. Finding a "Great" theme that's exactly what you want is a challenge. Making your own layout is a beyond the scope of most users. Minor customization are doable (module / drag n drop).

Wordpress

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.

My experience with WordPress

Opmerkingen: WordPress was a good and nice experience for me, and it definetely satisfied my blogging needs. I can´t say it was always smooth, specially when trying to customize my blog, but generally speaking I liked it a lot, specially the statistic data it provides for you and the community. I met a lot of really cool people from different countries through this site that shared my interests and published similar things to mine and that was a very enriching experience. My articles and stories got a fairly good traffic, all things considered, and I can say it mantains the time-money-value balance. Would encourage you to give it a try if you don´t mind taking your time to understand the settings.

Pluspunten:

I used WordPress for blogging for almost two years. It was a personal blog in which I published opinion pieces and short stories mostly and my experience was generally good. I really like the fact that you can select from a varity of templates that are actually nice and aesthetic, unlike other sites and softwares that provide you ten templates at most of them kind of ugly. It allows a certain flexibility to personalize your site and to rearrange the templates. I also like that you can save entries and program them to automatically get published at a specific date and time, which is super useful. The community in general is nice and wide, you can find blogs of every topic and people that share your interests, which is really cool. It also has very nice options to show you the statistics of your site, like how many people are visiting your blog, how did they find it, which words they googled to find your articles, etc. That information is really useful to improve your site´s traffic. I would go back to WordPress without a doubt if I ever started blogging again.

Minpunten:

I did not love the blog administrator interface. I think it can be more intuitive. Sometimes I struggled to understand how to edit certain aspects of my blog, because I just could not find the option. I said before that you can edit and rearrange your template, and this is really cool, but sometimes it can be tricky to understand how to do it or to get exactly the look you are going for. You move something to the right and suddenly it is back again in the left and you don´t even know why. Templates misbehave. Or they did back in my blogging days. Still, if you have enough time and patience, or you are not that much of a perfectionist, you can probably overlook this cons, they are not that big of a deal.

Great website tool, but...

Opmerkingen: Overall, Wordpress is solid website or blog option. If you like to tinker with code and dive into the nitty gritty of website development, you will absolutely LOVE Wordpress. The customizable options are nearly limitless and the power of the program is great.

Pluspunten:

There are SO MANY WAYS to customize your blog or web site with Wordpress, that if you can't create a page you like, it is truly your issue! Not only does Wordpress offer options, but the Wordpress community is so creative and a simple Google search will reveal countless free and purchasable options for your Wordpress site. It is truly the best feature of the their offerings. Overall, once you begin using the software, the basic operation of a site is pretty simple and so many products are made to work fairly well with the Wordpress engine. The WP community is super creative and bright, and there seem to be a lot of users who are eager to help other users. It is a great product.

Minpunten:

The biggest downside is the back end operation of your site; especially if you're like me and don't want to spend much time under the hood. Because so many companies and products offer Wordpress compatible plugins, you can get just about anything you need for an update. HOWEVER, on several occasions we experienced a Wordpress update that caused conflicts with some of our plugins, some of which were key cogs in our website. Of course, the plugin creators usually caught up quickly, but sometimes a couple of days would go by before everything was behaving again. DISCLAIMER: I never became fluent enough in the Wordpress backend to sole these problems on my own, so the frustration was more significant as I was dependent on the WP community (which is great!) to help solve these issues. It seems like 10-12 times a year we had technical glitches that made it frustrating for a guy like me who was looking for more plug-n-play software.

Perfect for bloggers

Opmerkingen: I used WordPress through Bluehost for my first blog. I had zero coding experience when I first started and was able to navigate and use WordPress fine. My biggest issue was just being overwhelmed with how many features and tools come with WordPress. There is a lot to learn but I still would highly recommend it to anyone creating a website.

Pluspunten:

There is so much flexibility and freedom with WordPress, you can customize your website exactly how you want it. And it's completely free! WordPress comes with literally hundreds of free themes to choose from and you can search through themes based on type of business so it's easy to find one that suits your needs. WordPress also comes with built-in analytics so it's really easy to track your website stats like page views, website visitors, etc. Another awesome feature is the WordPress post and page builder. It uses a pretty simple yet customizable drag and drop editor so writing articles and setting up pages is simple. I also really like how much free content you can find online on navigating and using WordPress. Because it's so popular there are tons of videos, articles, and tutorials on how to use WordPress. Another perk of WordPress being so popular is that there are endless themes and plugins, both paid and free, for WordPress.

Minpunten:

Because WordPress is so customizable and there are so many features, it can take some time to get the hang of it. There is so much to learn it can be a little overwhelming at first, especially if you are new to creating blogs or websites. There is definitely a learning curve with Wordpress. I would highly recommend taking the time to become familiar with each feature and tool of Wordpress and get a good grasp and understanding of how it works before you jump into starting your website. Even then, encountering any kind of website problem can take a long time to solve because there are so many moving parts with Wordpress. There have been many times where I've spent hours ruling out different potential causes of a certain glitch or malfunction in my website.

Wordpress can do it all!

Opmerkingen: I love Wordpress. It's easy to use and visually friendly to your users. It has plugins for computers and for cell phone devices. Wordpress is the way to go if you want to do a daily blog website for your company or hobby.

Pluspunten:

What I like most about Wordpress is that it's fully customizable. Back in the dark ages of website building you'd have to use HTML to build a website. Other things like Java, Flash and other scripts came along to make a website more robust. When web 2.0 rolled around. Flash was blocked due to trojan virus. Java is still used and HTML is now HTML5. With all that said and done. Wordpress makes it very user friendly to have a website up and running in a few hours. No more major programming. Tons of plugins to choose from. Wordpress cuts the time in more than half to get your website up and running. Wordpress is free. You will need a domain name, hosting, and if you want a fancy template that will cost money as well. But it's all worth it. Wordpress is amazing when you want to even have get your SEO (search engine optimization) ranking up in google fast! I'll still make some sale funnel pages with HTML but if you need the best blogging platform there is. No other place better than Wordpress.,,

Minpunten:

The one thing I least like about WordPress is that it's the number 1 way to make websites now. So that brings in lots of hackers. Especially if your website ranks high. It's a constant battle to keep your site updated with all the plugins and updates.

Wordpress is the Swissarmy knife of CMS

Pluspunten:

Wordpress is one of the best CMS (content management system) platforms out there, have used it to personally develop and host over 30 sites over a 7 year period and it just works. Some of the best features of Wordpress include: 1) Downloadable Themes - These are basically templates for Wordpress sites, you can look through the many thousands online and find a design that suits your Wordpress site or you can have one developed. 2) Plugins - Wordpress has the best plugins period! 3) Ease of use - When setting up a self hosted Wordpress site, you can add plugins and themes quickly and almost seamlessly. Wordpress is relatively easier to use than hard coding an HTML site, and it is also easier to update than traditional HTML and other CMS platforms. 4) Customization - You can create almost any kind of site with Wordpress, the level of customization from plugins, to themes to editing the code make this a CMS with almost endless possibilities. 5) Built In features - Wordpress as a CMS has some great built in features, like the ability to create posts and pages on the fly, add images and media files, manage SEO of specific posts and also manage comments on the site all without installing anything else.

Minpunten:

Wordpress works great in most cases but it still has a lot of issues that can be annoying to deal with. 1) Backups can be a hustle if you don't have a plugin to use. Since Wordpress itself does not have automatic backups, if you do not install a plugin and run into some trouble, you are on your own. 2) Troubleshooting Wordpress is not an easy task - While it is easy to use, Wordpress is not easy to troubleshoot. In many cases, if you may need to simply reinstall Wordpress if you run into an error, which can mean losing valuable time and work. 3) Wordpress Themes don't always "work" - One thing about ease of use is the simple plug and play feel But with Wordpress themes, this is not always the case. If you install a theme, the default settings are not installed, you have to customize and tinker to get a site to look close to a demo. 4) A stale design for the Admin Portal - Wordpress admin areas are not customizable which means almost every Wordpress site has the same admin portal, there are plugins that can help with some customization but it is a shame that this is not just built into Wordpress itself. 5) Cleaning up - While Wordpress is easy to use, cleaning up if you install a number of plugins and themes is not as easy as it looks. You may have to have Cpanel access to delete files or select them individually in the respective areas to get them deleted.
