"As a Teacher, WordPress Empowered My Online Presence with Incredible Flexibility"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

As a teacher, I've found WordPress very easy and useful for building a class(es) blog(s) and sharing learning materials with students. It’s easy to use, even without a technical background, and offers plenty of customisation through themes and plugins. I appreciate how I can update content quickly and organise it in a way that supports my teaching goals. The learning curve is minimal, and it gives me full control over how my content is presented. Highly recommend it for educators looking to create a professional online presence, as it is an Intuitive editor with customizable layouts. It is also ideal for blogs, class sites, and portfolios. It is very easy to update and integrate with other tools and resources, and can be used very frequently for updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

1. Need for self hosting, 2. Plugin/ theme conflicts 3. Time required for updates and security. 4. Some advanced features require paid plugins or hosting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool to build website by yourself"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is just awesome! It’s super flexible, you can create any kind of website blog, shop, portfolio with so many free themes and plugins. It’s open source, so no cost, which is great. Plus, the community is huge, always there with tutorials if you stuck. Really love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Setting up hosting and all feels overwhelming. Also, too many plugins can slow your site down or cause conflicts, which is annoying. Security is another headache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best CMS for beginers and others to create web-sites!"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

What I like best about WordPress.org is the complete freedom it gives you. You truly own your website and can customize everything exactly how you want it, from the design to adding any features you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

While WordPress.org offers a huge amount of power and flexibility, it's not without its downsides. One of the main things I dislike is the initial learning curve and the ongoing maintenance. Because you have so much control, you're also responsible for a lot more. Setting up your hosting, installing WordPress, choosing and configuring themes and plugins – it can be quite daunting for beginners. And then there's the constant need for updates to WordPress core, themes, and plugins to ensure security and compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and well known and used globally"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Easy to use, very intuitive and well known and used globally. I have been working with it for almost 15 years and I am still a fan, even if frustrated at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Can be unexciting a bit boring unless skilled in design. With more and more plugins being added, they can sometimes create conflicts which is annoying as the website can go down or be wrongly formatted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and feature-rich thanks to add-ons"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

What I like best about WordPress is how flexible and customizable it is. I used it daily and was always impressed by how easy it was to add new features through plugins—whether for SEO, design, or performance. The huge library of themes and add-ons made it simple to tailor sites exactly to my needs. I also appreciated how well it integrated with other tools and platforms, making content management and publishing smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

If you use numerous plugins and themes, WordPress can become sluggish, making both the website and admin dashboard noticeably slow. Also, customizing layouts, managing backups, or troubleshooting often require technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Can be clunky and might need a better server, but better than other similar solutions like WIX"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

So, I am using this platform since 2017. My first startup was Heapooh and it was all about blogs. It is easy to use as I could just upload a Soledad theme and be done with it and just customize it to my taste.

I like that we can integrate not just php, but node.js and combine other JS technologies rather than just be stuck with Wordpress plugins. In fact, I used chatgpt to create some plugins and they worked well for my Wordpress.

I have three sites like now and it is all Wordpress. It integrates well with wozcommerce if you want to sell and have some cool integrations for mail services and payment systems like square and stripe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

It is too heavy. I have a dedicated cloud server and it still feels slower than Wix and shopify. Also, lately the free part is missing and most plugins have useful features that are paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
