I have been using it for 3 years.

I have not encountered any deployment issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

We previously used Mambo, Drupal and Joomla.

It takes just a few mouse clicks to have WordPress up and running on your hosting account. All best WordPress web hosting companies allow you to install WordPress within few clicks.

We implement it in-house.

WordPress is a free software. You are free to download, install, use and modify it.

We evaluated Mambo, Drupal and Joomla.

Here are 5 reasons why you should use WordPress:

-WordPress allows you to create fully functional websites and mobile applications. You can make your website beautiful with themes, and extend it with plugins.

-WordPress is a open source software. It has a large community and is maintained by a large group of volunteers.

-There are many services for WordPress that make tackling this particular issue a lot simpler and save you a ton of time while making everything a lot more manageable.

-WordPress has plugin functionality, but compared to other CMS, it's quite basic. You can create highly functional and complex sites using WordPress.

-The cost of a WordPress site depends entirely on your budget and goals.

The plugins and widget features: they make life easy and save a lot of time, which can be used for further updating of the site.

It has given us a very good platform, enabling us to develop our site with ease, and by enabling multiple logins to edit the site simultaneously making our work easier.

The plugins have to be tested and monitored frequently as some of them lead to the website crashing. Also, all plugins must be compatible with the latest versions of WordPress.

I have been using it for six months.

I have not encountered any deployment issues.

I have not encountered any stability issues.

I have not encountered any scalability issues.

On a scale of 1-10, I’d give technical support a 7. For every query that you may have, WordPress has a thread opened where you will find answers easily. This has helped me out many times in the past.

Initial setup was straightforward. We had a theme to work with, which really made things easier.

An in-house team implemented it.

It is extremely easy with all the plugins and widgets available. The changes you need to make can be easily implemented and there is a support forum if you face any issues.

WordPress started in 2003 and for a long time it was viewed as a blogging platform but in the last 4 years it has come on quite a transformational journey. With it's wealth of low cost and well support plugins, it can provide customer solutions to even large scale membership based websites. 

WordPress is  easy to install and is a really nice CMS . The ability to amend the PHP to add extra functionality of to tweak things is also a great bonus. The use of PHP also helps if you need to buy help in from a coder - PHP is common so there is a massive pool of devs. 

It also doesn't need a massive server to run. That's great for smaller businesses who don't want the hassle of large cloud contracts. 

I volunteer with various charities and WordPress is a very popular choice of CMS to allow them to have great functionality and a solid web presence. WordPress has allowed small organisations to control their web presence cheaply (or in most cases, for free). I think opening up the www to businesses, charities and organisations like this is a great thing. 

Good point: It has hundreds of thousands of plugins.

Bad point: It has hundreds of thousand of plugins. 

You pick a plugin, it seems well supported, you spend time installing it and setting it up. With the next WordPress back-end update, the owner of the plugin may not update their code so you are left with something that, at best, works but could be exploitable. So, it's a cloud - but the silver lining is the choice of plugins :D 

One of the most major down points: everyone and their dog tries to hack it. If you use WordPress without security plugins then things won't go well for you. Thankfully, as above, there are lots to pick from: TOR blockers, IP blockers, whitelists, blacklists... all free. 

This depends where you have it hosted.

I've used Joomla and Drupal which isn't so usable for the average Joe. 

It's a simple click through process that takes 5 mins. There are loads of guides on line to help you through it if you are unsure. 

1. Ease of use
2. User Interface
3. Theme/template model
4. Widgets and plugins
5. Cost
6. Ease of access for a large developer community

1. Rapid deployment
2. ROI
3. CapEx

1. Faster deployment
2. Better native AMP

I've used it for 10 years.

We rarely have issues.

We've not really had any issues with the stability.

We sometimes have issues when scaling it out.

It's community based, so we never need customer service.

It's bring your own support.

We previously used Joomla, and switched due to the ease of use and deployment process.

It's very straightforward.

We've implemented it through an in-house team as well as a vendor one.

There's an immediate return. The saving starts the minute you stop using something else.

If this is your first CMS, go with WordPress, and if you outgrow it, you'll have a list of others. Just don't be snobby about it

The product has evolved and has become dependable and secure.

If you are an IT person, server security should be easy to implement.

Better screen task management when doing updates of many pages. There should be an enhanced configuration screen for advanced users to do custom tweaks and adjustments. There are many editors to chose from. One must pick an editor that compliments the way you work.

• Sidebar
• Menu
• Plugins/ratings

It's improved our speed to market.

It has a need for better, updated plugins. Now there's an SEA of them and there are too much with some being outdated.

We've used it for four years.

We've only had issues with the backups during deployment.

We had issues with the flash in the early days.

We can't scale as the plugins are outdated.

7-8/10

I used MS Front Page prior to WP.

I had to take classes beforehand, but it was straightforward afterwards.

I did it myself.

Some themes are expensive, but you don't need to buy them.

We also looked at Joomla but it's not worth using.

Never do hard coding.
