WordPress

We use a custom-built theme on top of WordPress platform. We also use a wide variety of WordPress plugins and integrations to complete our CMS stack including WooCommerce e-com store integration. We have a small marketing team and also several 3rd party resources that collaborate together through the platform for all website-related tasks including coding, order fulfillment, and basic edits through the WYSIWYG editor.

WordPress is our CMS (content management system) of choice for all our blog content properties. Administration is extremely easy since WordPress is operated as a SaaS and does not needed to be loaded on a centralized system.

I have been using WordPress since 2013. I started with the basic blog website and till now I have delivered many Websites based on WordPress for e-commerce and other fields. It's very easy to set up and the plugin library is amazing, everything can be done in a few steps if anyone has the working knowledge. The only drawback is frequent updates and management of the plugins.

We are a boutique real estate firm that seeks to expand our digital presence and use the internet to drive leads, conversions and new clients to our website. We built our website using WordPress and could not function without it. The sheer versatility and number of great plug-ins make [WorkPress] an all-in-one [product] that we are continuing to learn about and master.

WordPress is used for Berlin Grey's website and it's always the first recommended CMS for any of our clients looking to get a website made.

My media company wanted to start a blog, and WordPress is currently one of the gold standards in blog writing. It has a variety of tools to both build the look and usability of a blog, but also ways to edit content to maximize search engine results and optimization. The learning curve is very steep (for me at least) but it is a very established program which means there's tons of instructional content online such as videos and how-to's

We use WordPress to host our marketing websites for our companies and products. We do graphic design in house and outsource custom theming and development to freelancers. WordPress being so popular means that the availability of freelancers for just about anything you would want to do in WordPress is available at reasonable cost.

WordPress has become my 'go-to' tool for both simple and complex website development. More than just 'blogging' software, the versatility and ability to seamlessly work with so many third-party plug-ins make the tool essential ubiquitous with websites.

Some features that make the tool stand out:

• Separation of content and layout - incredibly easy to change the look and feel of your site without losing valuable information
• Strong user base and support community - one cannot go wrong with approximately 5,000,000 installs
• Robust third-party plug-in support - 50,000 plug-ins virtually guarantee you can find exactly what you are looking for

I have been able to use it from the simplest single-page brochureware site to complex integrations with back-end database servers for information sharing.

WordPress is used as the foundation for websites that are developed by us for small businesses. Its large library of both free and paid plugins make it easy for small business owners to [...] maintain and edit their own site without requiring strong programming skills. It enables business owners to expand their website and add new features as their needs change. We also use the WordPress platform to write custom plugins for clients needing solutions that are not addressed by the plugin libraries.

As a digital marketing firm, one of whose core services is web design, we use WordPress exclusively for our client websites, as well as for our own. At this point, WordPress powers around 40% of websites on the entire Internet and has come to be the 'gold standard' for content management systems when it comes to search engine friendliness and design/development flexibility.

When I started my company over 5 years ago, I made the decision to only build websites on the WordPress platform. Since then, we have launched over 100 websites. From basic websites to e-commerce, we have had great success with the platform's adaptability to any functionality we need. We have not seen any drop off in SEO effectiveness since making the switch from straight HTML coding. While we mange several HTML sites, we have exclusively built all of our new sites on WordPress. Ease of use and the ability to do whatever we want has made it a no-brainer for our entire agency.

We use WordPress across the whole organization. It addresses managing our website.

I've used WordPress to create several blogs for different businesses I've been involved with as the internet marketing coordinator. I've also used it to write blogs about the music I'm passionate about, and to help independent musicians get more attention from a wider array of fans. WordPress lets me create a beautiful website quickly and easily.

Our organization builds custom websites for external clients and WordPress is the CMS we use most frequently [use]. There is a lot of flexibility and customizability within [WordPress] and its plugins [...] allow us to easily add third-party integrations without much involvement from our development team. [WordPress} also provides an easy way for our teams and our clients to manage content for the site once it's live.

WordPress is recognized as a leading open source content management product capable of scaling and supporting small, medium and large organizations. I have typically worked with digital agencies to create brand sites for product promotions or create a digital presence for small and medium sized businesses.

If you have a need for a membership site, blog, or product site, WordPress is a flexible choice. As you move into larger enterprise scaled applications, you will need to address data integration and custom modules. However for a large majority of business owners, WordPress is an excellent choice to start a digital footprint.

WordPress is used and maintained by the marketing team and a third party company that hosts our portal/blog. It is used to present the company, products and ways of contacting customers and potential customers with the company. There is a blog where the marketing company publishes articles related to the company's field of activity as well as videos or texts explaining the technologies used in our products/services.

We are using Wordpress as a means of recruitment. With our organization and just the nature of the industry cluster we are in, there is an extremely high turnover rate. Therefore we utilize just about any product we can to help with recruitment and retention. Through Wordpress, we can create an appealing website to attract candidates to work for our company. We are also able to track the traffic our website receives and therefore adjust things to make the website itself more worth our while.

I have used WordPress for years to build websites for business clients, and also ran government and local council-sponsored training seminars and workshops teaching businesses how to grow their presence online using WordPress.

After building hundreds of WordPress sites over the years and authoring a series of detailed WordPress training guides for beginners. I have recently turned all of my WordPress knowledge and expertise into a comprehensive Free WordPress training site at WPCompendium.org and developed WPTrainMe - a WordPress tutorials plugin that allows users to get instant access to hundreds of detailed WordPress step-by-step tutorials from their own WordPress dashboards.

WordPress is used to host all of our blog posts and pages on a server purely serving these pages. We use it as a combination of a CMS, editor, and designer for all of our articles and pages. It is used mostly by Engineers writing articles or founders writing updates on progress.

Not used for business, mainly personal use. Chose for the following reasons: Free/open source, easy to use, and lots of resources for support.

Wordpress is widely used by our organization. We build all of our partner's sites using Wordpress and we also develop and design some internal web projects using WordPress. We choose to use WordPress because it has a very intuitive and easy to use admin dashboard to allow us to manage the back end of our websites.

We use WordPress as our primary platform for new client sites. Our bundle consists of probably the most respected of the premium WordPress theme frameworks, custom graphics from our design department, a set menu of plugins, custom programming to make certain features sing, and responsive styles baked in by default. Our development stack allows us to bring client sites to life in a week or two at a competitive price point, while delivering a decent feature set with a totally custom design.

WordPress is currently being used by 100% of my clients that I have had the pleasure of doing business with recreating their business websites. WordPress addresses many different business problems, but the problems that it addresses the most are ease of use for an average user to update content on their website without the help of a webmaster, or hiring of a programmer or developer each time something needs to be changed on their website. Many business owners want the ability to update their own content without worrying about delegating the service to someone else, especially if content is ever changing or expanding, hiring a separate person for that can be cost effective and some businesses are going through tough times and need to be able to rely on themselves more these days to do some of the web work.

The second problem it addresses is the ability to insert a wide variety of different functionality into the site at any given time with the use of easy to install plugins. The variety of various types of plugins can address a lot of coding from scratch during the website building phase, which cuts costs for the business owners by only having to pay a fraction of the cost for the plugin than it would cost if a programmer was hired to do it from scratch for them. Plugins can be activated, and deactivated for use on the site without any coding knowledge necessary for most of them. I must state though that it does require grasping the systems user mechanics to a fair degree. Some plugins do require some knowledge of PHP, HTML5, CSS3 but most of it has been taken care of with the implementing of shortcodes that require only the knowledge of what the shortcode is used for and the ability to insert the shortcode in the proper areas of the website. Instead of writing out code, users can use something similar to: [large_image]http://example.com/largeimage.jpg[/large_image] instead, which is very user friendly to understand and implement.

Another problem WordPress addresses is cost. Since WordPress is a free to use platform with open source coding to the frame, anyone who uses WordPress can install it onto their website's host server for free, and they can also choose from a vast amount of free WordPress themes that give the user a head start on their project when the choose the right template for their site. In the WordPress depository, there are a wide variety of free plugins to use as well that cover almost anything you will need to get your site up and running efficiently. As for some of the better plugins out there, you can purchase a paid version of some of the plugins you find in the depository, or you can find them on other specific websites that sole purpose is to provide premium plugins, and themes to help with building your business' website.

WP is used by sales and marketing and to some degree, admin. As we populate it with more content, its value to the company will increase. One of the challenges is training new users on how to work in WordPress.

Used to support secondary blogs that are non-mission critical.
