"WordPress Makes Building a Website Easy Without Coding"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The thing that I really like about WordPress is that, you can build a website from scratch even though if u don't know how to code, which is really amazing, when I was working for a aide hustle company, I had to built a website and wordpress saved me , because I know nothing about coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The things is like some it's hard to put one element over another element as each element keeps its own individual space, the drag & drop is fine but still we can't create top notch website without coding, so I believe, it should be fine as we create site with coding .

"Easy to Learn, Great for Everyday Use, Affordable Pricing & Justified ROI"
5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

It is very basic and easy to learn and use. It may look poor in UI but it is not overwhelming for a beginner or daily users.

It enables you to segregate your content into posts, portfolios and pages. It also allows thirdparty integrations to connect to your wordpress site so that you know that they are not spam or bad. It has very good speed and cache can be controlled. It costs only 7680INR for an entire year which is very good compared to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

UI could be made more user friendly as in the prima facie it looks very complicated. Also help and support could be made better. It is important that the UI and the accessibility of each feature can provide much more audience to this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clean, Customizable UI with a Generous Free Plan and Strong Performance"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I love how much you can personalize each website. Being able to date photos and posts from previous months and years is also really helpful for building a historical archive. The website UI is clean, intuitive, and easy to use. On top of that, the free plan is generous and includes a lot of features. I find the overall performance of the website to be good even if it's full of photos and videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

I always felt my website was a bit isolated and it's difficult to browse other websites. I also feel there should be ways to advertise your site through wordpress for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"WordPress: Simple Content Management with Flexibility"
5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I really like the flexibility and plug-in ecosystem of WordPress.org. I also like the ecosystem of themes along with plug-ins. The website can be customized without coding. Content management is very simple, allowing non-technical users to work easily. The design can be quickly changed with the help of teams, just with a theme installation. In my opinion, the full benefits of the plug-in ecosystem features are realized. Sometimes, there is a need for functionality that would take a lot of time to custom develop, but in WordPress, everything is already available for that, which we can use in free or paid versions. The impact on development is quite minimal, and the website can be enhanced quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Yes, overall WordPress.org is a very good platform, but there are some areas where I feel like if you use a custom plugin, the website's performance is affected, and if you use a plugin created by a third-party individual, there could be security issues on your website. In the past few days, I have faced such issues, where core updates, theme updates, and plugin updates need to be managed regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No-Code Flexibility for Better UI/UX and Web Security"
4/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

As a web designer, I can use this no-code platform to integrate different plugins and add web security, which helps improve the website’s UI/UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There are some flaw in the wordpress platform because you have to pay for some of the plugins. It is hard to optimize the performance of the website or ecommerce site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Open-Source Solution for Full Website Control"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress.org offers excellent flexibility and full control over website design and functionality. It has a huge library of themes and plugins, making it easy to customize any type of website from blogs to business sites. The platform is SEO-friendly, scalable, and supported by a large global community, which makes finding tutorials and solutions very easy. It also integrates well with many third-party tools and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

WordPress.org can have a learning curve for beginners, especially when it comes to hosting setup, security, and maintenance. Managing plugins and updates can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Unlike hosted platforms, it requires more technical knowledge and responsibility for backups and performance optimization. Customer support is not centralized, so users rely mostly on community forums. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Flexible—WordPress.org Makes Building Great Websites Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

Easily create any website you like, highly intuitive and easy to learn and use. Using the endless amount of free plugins you really can create a fantastic looking website. I have always used WordPress.org and would recommend it to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

Not necessarily a WordPress issue, but one thing I have found is sometimes using pre-built templates, you don't get what you sign up for. It can sometimes look different to what is advertised, so be sure you backup your site before changing templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Integrations and a Future-Proof Platform"
4/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The ability to integrate is what sold us. There are no problems with compatibility when we connect our Tidio chat, accounting software, and CRM tools. This platform is very "future-proof." When our organisation adds new services, we can just add the features we need to the site instead of having to start over from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

It is definitely harder to learn than "drag-and-drop" builders. You have to take care of your own backups and security updates because it is self-hosted. If you don't keep up with plugin updates, things can break or become less secure. This can be stressful if you're not very tech-savvy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Platform with Great Customization, Needs Maintenance"
4/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

I use WordPress.org to build and manage websites with full control over customization, which gives me the flexibility to install plugins, adjust themes, and optimize everything the way I want without the limitations of hosted platforms. What I like most about WordPress.org is the freedom to customize everything exactly the way I want. I also like the huge library of plugins and themes, making it easy to build almost everything, and the level of control over the site is something most platforms can't match. The initial setup was very easy; everything was clear, and anyone could build their websites easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The main thing that doesn't work as well for me is how maintenance heavy WordPress.org can be. Managing updates, plugins, security, and performance sometimes takes more time than expected. A few plugins also conflict with each other, which can cause small issues that need troubleshooting. When plugins conflict, it usually slows down my workflow because certain features stop working or pages don't load correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible, Fully Customisable Websites with WordPress.org"
4/5
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

What I like best about WordPress.org is its flexibility and control. It allows us to fully customise websites with thousands of plugins and themes, optimise for SEO, and scale functionality as needed without being restricted by a closed platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

What I dislike about WordPress.org is that managing updates, plugins, and security can be time-consuming, especially when multiple plugins are involved. It can also require more technical oversight compared to fully hosted platforms to ensure performance, compatibility, and security are maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
