WordPress Business-Enterprise Reviews

I use WordPress to create websites. I have mostly worked with the Elementor builder and slider plugins on WordPress. Most of my experience is related to the frontend and working with the design team.

I'm using version 5.2.

The best feature in WordPress is Elementor. It lets you easily create one-page landing sites.

WordPress is fast and user-friendly.

It could be a little bit easier to use.

I have worked with WordPress for three years.

It's a stable product.

Setup is easy. Installation takes 10 minutes.

WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money.

I would rate this solution as six out of ten. 

I would recommend WordPress to those who are interested in using it. My advice is to watch YouTube tutorials before installation. Non-technical people can easily use WordPress.

We use WordPress for both of our websites, www.mainemusicnews.com and www.jolesphotography.com.

WordPress has allowed us to maintain our own website at a reasonable cost, giving us the ability to reach people worldwide with our concert photography.

WordPress is hands down easy and intuitive to use. I have built many sites using WordPress and have always enjoyed the project. We use WordPress on two different websites and it solves all of our website issues. It also allows me to have multiple photographers geo-separated and still give them access to upload their own material.

The ability to upload photos and share them with people all around the world has really made my dream of photographing rockstars a reality. Prior to having WordPress, I had no ability to share my work and no credibility within the music industry. WordPress has opened many doors for me.

I would recommend dumping the Gutenberg interface and going back to the classic editor.  I understand the need for using BLOCKS to develop a page.  However, I would recommend taking a long hard look at Elementor and Elementor Pro as when it comes to developing a website, I have found using Elementor to be much more intuitive than using the Gutenberg interface.

More than ten years.

Stability is always a concern. Take your time performing updates when new x.00 releases come out.

I find it has met my needs rather nicely.

We used Squarespace previously, but it had issues with SEO, specifically with Google indexing tags.

There is no real setup cost if you do it yourself.

Since it was released, I have been using the classic editor and it works and provides all of the necessary elements. However, I would recommend taking a look at Elementor and seeing how they are implementing the use of blocks in their page builder.

My experience with WordPress is more in the world of the arts.

I think that people are almost using the public part of WordPress to push them through the task of creating things and disciplining themselves each day, as well as entertaining people or educating people or giving people pleasure through their poetry, art, writing, and whatever.

The way that WordPress is configured, they have it stripped down so much that the amount they put on for the week is of no use for all of the citizens and staff that we wanted to respond to. I don't know if that's because they're using WordPress, or instead, that they're going too much for a presence on the web, rather than seeing it as a business tool.

We talk about the citizens and staff being digitally illiterate, but it may be that we have digitally illiterate policymakers who don't realize fully how to use WordPress. They just see it as a way of having a presence on the web, rather than having every page help them to meet their outcomes.

I like how people are able to learn to tag.

It offers categories where you are able to search and go back.

I like how it gives the opportunity to have a discipline of input and discipline of letting people see how you're progressing and making things visible. The people that I follow on WordPress show their thinking and test it out.

I like how it integrates graphics and words, and more generally, the way people can develop the choices of spaces for different websites.

It creates beautiful spaces and some people are just great, in terms of being creative.

I think that WordPress is too cool in its contact. If somebody works well in that medium then it would be really helpful for a community and for themselves. I don't know how to plug them into using it well. I don't know where someone goes from zero to having something up, and then incrementally learning how to do it.

I think it would be good if WordPress maybe had a place where people could go to and say, "Hi, I'm an artist. I like writing poetry related to my art. Is there anyone who uses WordPress for this?" or "Hi, I'm working in the health sector, and I'm working on change and transformation work. I would like to talk about it, has anyone else done that?", or "Hello, I'm writing a book. I would like to use WordPress as a way of making sure that I get three hours work done every day and write 300 words". I think that's what people are using WordPress for in these situations.

I have been working with WordPress for perhaps five years.

This platform is too small for us.

We don't do the setup. Rather, we are involved in populating it.

I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one. Unfortunately, the site was awful and I never made good use of spending all that money.

Originally, I thought that we would be using SharePoint for this work. However, WordPress is the product that was ultimately chosen. At first, I wondered if I was missing something, not knowing how WordPress can be used as a business tool. It doesn't have the same things as SharePoint.

What we really need is a platform that enables citizens and staff to self-manage their health. It needs to have a range of things that can be used to help people. For example, people should be able to find out about their health and keep information about it. It should be able to support them. I think of WordPress more as an artistic place, or where people journal. It's good for blogs and it's good for a whole lot of things, but not necessarily the type of things that we would have expected. That said, they have selected WordPress and are 100% on it.

I have been trying to use Mural, and it's overwhelming in terms of what they offer you. It's too much, especially if you're working on a pandemic and you are trying to learn a new tool.

I'm one of these people that has not found a routine to use it, but I use it because I like to follow certain people. I learn by reading WordPress blogs. I appreciate the space and that we'd like to link to other people to use it, but I don't know how to do that. I feel it would be a good place for some people.

I work in the world of knowledge management and knowledge interaction. There are people who use WordPress that really create what they have to say and what they have to show, very well, and people like myself and others can go in. That creation of knowledge enables us to think about certain things or have discussions with other people.

Certainly, I'm not the only person that reads what is put up in WordPress. Therefore, if you end up with a group of people and eight of us read that blog, we have a common language, even if the person is in America or somewhere else. We can be involved in the seminar in Scotland, but because we all read that WordPress blog, we will have a common language and certain common concepts or ways of looking at something. That is knowledge into action and that is knowledge in the world taking things forward.

I've seen a seminar here of a guy who has a WordPress blog and he held a big international seminar with people from all over the world, hosted at one of our universities. He was also well-known for his books and there was a bookstall with his books and other books. This is a big four-day international event, and the person hosting it at the university wanted me to attend the three keynote speeches that opened every morning, and this guy did one of them. Since then, I've followed his blog. So, people are doing things like that.

My interest in that blog is how do you support very large organizations to change? Because, they're running huge systems, including hospitals. This is a very important thing and very important because of COVID-19. How does a children's hospital change how they run things when they're also having to look after ill children all the time? And that guy is about that. I follow all of his work in WordPress, as well as occasionally read his books, but it's much better to see his books as he's writing them. So, basically, he is sharing the eight chunks in a chapter on WordPress and sharing the illustrations. He's also a very good illustrator.

So sometimes you say, "Oh gosh, that's just great. I could use that as a slide when I'm talking about people doing things". He's a generous person because people, through WordPress, one can say one likes something, or one can go in and say, that completely makes sense to me, except that one bit.

As a consumer of WordPress, I would say it's been a good platform over the last five years for me. As a person who would like to use WordPress, but who hasn't been given enough time, I've not managed, so I'd rate it low. Without enough time on WordPress, it has not been a simple thing. I would like to use it as a creative space, where I was contributing. 

As a person who has spent five years engaging in someone else's creativity and thoughts, I could rate WordPress and ten out of ten. This is because I've found some really good sites, and WordPress has facilitated that. However, when it is me wanting to be creative in WordPress, I have to rate it very low.

I do know that people can do well with it, and I have appreciated the people who use it. Some people use it with advertisements, so some people can use it for free. I like that they set up the possibility for people to do things.

I would rate this solution a one out of ten.

In my company, we are using WordPress for the development of our website since it is much easier to upload content and does not require expert programmers.

WordPress has greatly improved project delivery times as we also develop web pages for third parties. WordPress has shown us reliability, easy handling and has many themes that adapt to all kinds of situations.

The most valuable feature is that it is easy to install and manage, there is also a lot of documentation and a large community of users that allow us to resolve any inconvenience that may arise during the development of the website.

WordPress is a tool that should not be missing in any systems department, which every web developer should dominate today. I would like them to increase security since they have been targeted by hackers and spammers.

It is very stable. Most hostings are optimized to work with WordPress, so there should be no problem with its use.

For me, it has been excellent since it has been constantly updated, and the number of plugins makes it very flexible.

It is simply excellent.

The installation could not have been simpler. On my Plesk server everything comes preconfigured, I just chose the WordPress install button and that's it.

In-house.

It is a free CMS, so there is no initial investment with the use of this platform, except domain and hosting costs. The benefits with the use of WordPress are very large, especially when it is oriented to the sale of products and services.

Our primary use case is for marketing our product and make sure we are always able to be found by the right people - converting visitors to leads. Because Wordpress has so many plugins and the ability to integrate different analytics, SEO, and even social apps, we can track all the data we need to make real decisions about page, messaging, blog, content performance. 

It allows us to manage our website internally, so we don't need to hire a costly web management service to do it for us. It also integrates with a ton of other services (analytics, forms, email lists, CRMs, etc.) that are key to getting the right information and sending it to the right places.

Ease of use and the variety of plugins. Because it is such a well-known and popular product, there are a ton of development companies and users creating plugins and solutions for it, which makes it adaptable and easy for people who have fewer technical skills.

With Gutenberg, Wordpress is poised to become even more accessible to the average website manager, so minimal knowledge of css or html is necessary. However, Gutenberg is still very buggy, so be sure to use another builder in the meantime (e.g. Beaver Builder).

Because it's such a popular platform, it can have vulnerabilities that you want to be up to date on. Be sure to upgrade to the latest stable version, and make sure you have some security (e.g. iThemes) running on your site.

We did not encounter any stability issues.

We have not yet encountered any scalability issues.

We don't pay for WordPress technical support. But there are a lot of forums and ways to troubleshoot information for it.

We did not have a previous solution.

The setup was straightforward. You can actually install WordPress directly through your hosting services.

We implemented with the assistance of a qualified web designer who set up the initial site, theme, content, and plugins. From there, we took on the design and maintenance ourselves, with occasional help from a web development agency who assists with projects like migrating our site to SSL etc.

Leads are our bread and butter, and if you are a SaaS company, then you know how valuable your website is. 

Even with a brick and mortar company that I work with, the website provides a third of all leads looking for their services.

The WordPress platform is free! But because there are so many paid add-ons, just be sure that what you're getting has been vetted by other WordPress users. if you are looking at a solid and well-documented theme and visual builder, you are probably looking at ~$500.

We did not evaluate other solutions. We knew we wanted this one.

If you are not technically skilled, get someone to set it up for you to make it easy to create and update the pages yourself going forward.

WordPress is the only Content Management system which I am presently using for building professional websites and blogs. It is a great application which gives an all-in-one solution for creating stunning websites. 

There is no need for experience in hard coding. Although, some expertise is still needed for customization.

It is a leading content management system, where it is easy to create nearly all types of websites and blogs. It is also a stable system which offers a wide variety of themes and templates.

• Very stable and easy to use content management system.
• Friendly for creating blogs.
• Thousands of themes available for free and premium.
• Availability of thousands of plugins for extending functions.

The system should be more informative. E.g., if there is an error in uploading a theme or there is some issue with a plugin, WordPress should describe the error in a more descriptive way and also should explain the solution. This way it could become more user-friendly and easier to work with.

WordPress is stable. Only a few times would there be issues, but those came only from hosting or other similar issues.

Sometimes there are issues, but not frequently.

The technical support is okay. Generally, it goes with the theme owner. The service provider is sometimes fast in responding, and sometimes not.

I tried Joomla and Drupal, but found WordPress to be better. It was better for me in terms of ease to use, availability of themes, and plugins.

Sometimes, it was straightforward. Sometimes, it was complex. It depended upon the themes and plugins that I used.

We implemented it in-house.

The ROI is very good. It provides a high ROI.

Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes.

I evaluated Joomla and Drupal.

This is the best solution for building a quick website.

WordPress CMS is used on a variety of website projects internally and for our clients. It is used for static websites and numerous projects, including booking systems, review sites, job boards, and portal sites. It is also used for marketing activities in conjunction with a number of other tools.

• WordPress is a fast way to present and test online business concepts, events, and marketing activity. Although WordPress has its shortcomings, it is a great way to deliver working websites and test new business ideas. 
• Good for rapidly turning around all the elements required for online sales funnels.
• WordPress is also the go-to tool for building sites for one-off marketing events.

• Ready-made themes speed the design process; a huge number of quality themes are available from several sources.
• Plug-ins are available to provide additional functionality, for example, event booking, directories, job boards, etc. 
• Frameworks and design tools can simplify the design process and create a back-end which is usable for non-technical people with some simple training.
• As WordPress is such a popular product, there are many designers and developers available to work on projects.

• WordPress sites do require quite a bit of maintenance: Constant updates to both WordPress and all the various plugins that it requires.
• Security is an issue, but this is the case with any open source software.
• Backups and moving sites could be handled better.
• WordPress is highly customisable, but this leads to a confusing back end. There are so many menus and options available. The basic product is becoming less usable by end users for site maintenance post delivery.

Our primary use case for WordPress was to create and maintain a website internally in the company, which we have done (and are very happy with the result). I worked with my manager to create a great website that shows our products and has drop down lists, as well as being very appealing to the eye.

This program, WordPress, has made it possible for our company to advertise all around the country, instead of keeping it local. Without the potential customers actually coming into the store, it shows them what we do, which we believe is important in a company. It is important for a customer to know what the company does, so they are comfortable to come and speak to us.

Each feature has its merits. 

• WordPress has the ability to add numerous plugins. 
• Contact forms
• A Shopping Cart 
• It has a vast array of themes which could be applied to make the website visually look more appealing to the target market.

I cannot say what exactly could be improved per se as the program is pretty flawless as it is. 

It may be useful, however, to have a downloadable program that you could have on your desktop that allows you to create and maintain the program while offline.
