WordPress, gotta have it
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

Industry Standard for a REason
We use WordPress for our website and have implemented WordPress for multiple companies. This has proven to be the easiest and best platform for websites. The editing interface is very easy and makes it very easy to give customers the ability to edit their site themselves. We implement WordPress for nearly every website client.

Industry-leading options from a free platform
We use WordPress as the technology behind our main corporate website. My department maintains it, but it is leveraged by the whole organization. It has proven to be an extremely versatile system when combined with other plugins over time. We have built on the X theme with a lot of success.
WordPress is the most-used content management system in the world. Because of its ubiquity, we use it on about half of our clients' websites. While our current website is powered by WordPress and has been since 2015, we will be switching to a different platform later this year. Generally, it presents a quick and (mostly) free way to get a presence on the internet, with tons of free themes, plugins, and integrations that make it fairly easy to create a custom website for your business or hobby.

WordPress - great for a company website!
We use WordPress as our platform for designing our company website. The WordPress website is invaluable to our business model, as it serves as the home base that all our other online channels drive people to in order for them to learn about our company and the services we offer.
WordPress has been a huge help in managing and creating websites both for my side graphic and web design business as well as for my clients. Through the use of their system I am able to quickly and easily setup and launch a clients new website by customizing a theme the client likes with colors, text, and layout. Because WordPress tends to be very user friendly, it's also easy to pass the management of the site over to the client once it's created.

An open-source tool to build responsive web sites
At our organization, we use WordPress to build the web application that supports our machine learning models and natural language processing research work. It helps us to present our work in the most elegant and understandable way. Apart from this, we also used WordPress to build a portfolio website of our group to showcase the team members and their contribution to the research group.
I've used Wordpress for more than a decade at various organizations and in my own personal life. I've used it largely for blogging, sharing our news and content with my organizations' audiences. Due to its nature as a blog, it allows for a more casual tone and a more direct way to speak directly with our users.

Wordpress is my first choice for sites
Wordpress is being used for our site across the board. It is very versatile in that there are plugins for almost any function you can think of and if there isn't one, it's easy for a developer to create and add to the site. With Wordpress you have maximum control over site functionality and design.
I use WordPress for my corporate website. I needed a website to back up my brand, showcase the services I offer, and function as a showpiece website to show other businesses what I'm capable of for website development.

WordPress in the classroom... a winner!
I use [WordPress] in the classroom to assist students with becoming familiar with the platform and sharing their ideas. The class is an AP Computer Science Principles class and we try to expose the students to a wide variety of technologies and platforms. I like [WordPress] because we can lock it down and have their posts visible only to the teacher and other students in the class without exposing their information to the world at large.

WordPress Wins Best in Class
We use WordPress for our company website and the majority of our client websites. We custom-build all of our websites to cater to the needs of each client and WordPress makes it easy to configure the backend. Not only are we able to easily train teammates and clients but we are also able to showcase their beautiful work and purposeful missions!
We recommend [WordPress] as a platform to many our clients since it's a CMS that can be optimized for speed and performance which is critical for the type of digital marketing services we offer our clients. We also own a cannabis and CBD lifestyle publication that is built on WordPress.
I have used WordPress across a couple different organizations for marketing sites. It was able to be utilized by less technical people, which is a win. It allows a business to spin up a site quickly.
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.

Helpful documentation tool for complex products
We are using WordPress in our organization for an internal-facing tech support documentation site for our digital learning platform. Our client services representatives reference this site when troubleshooting client issues, and our digital content managers use it as a reference as to how to build content on the platform. It is not used by any other department, as far as I know.

WordPress is the best!
I have used WordPress for over 10 years building websites for our companies and clients. We manage all of our sites with WordPress and always recommend that others use WordPress as well because of the simplicity of programing and managing a website. We often create a website and hand it to the client to manage. In some cases they aren't experienced enough or have enough time to manage it and we have to help. But in many cases, clients are able to manage the website through WordPress on their own. WordPress is so useful for individuals who do not know how to code a website and even if they do, I would still recommend using WordPress without question.
We use WordPress as our website platform for a range of different websites that we use in our business. We have our main business website with our marketing and information etc, then we also run an eCommerce site and 3 different membership portals for delivering online training. WordPress allows us to flexibly create these sites, to control membership logins, to charge for individual purchases or recurring memberships, and to allow various members of our team and admin staff to add and update pages inside our membership portals.

Popular and Modern CMS
The basis of my business is selling via the Internet, namely, through the website. I chose WordPress as the CMS for my website. The online store functionality also required the WooCommerce plugin. Many people think that WordPress is only suitable for blogs, however, I dare say that the combination of WordPress and WooCommerce allows you to create great online stores. WordPress has a great user-friendly interface and allows you to create a full-fledged website in just a few clicks.

WordPress
WordPress runs a few of our smaller sites on campus. It has been a tool that is easy to adopt and the admins are generally happy with it. I like that you can use the add ons that make sense for what you are trying to deliver with the software.

WordPress is a Long Time Favorite
Our organization uses the WordPress network to structure and organize over 500 websites built with WordPress. We are able to manage pre-approved plugins, themes, users, etc. This greatly ensures our websites are safe, organized, and manageable. It also makes it easier for our users to get started creating their website because we give them templates and plugins that meet most if not all of their needs.

WordPress - Simple as it Sounds!
WordPress is used throughout my company for a variety of reasons. Our office staff use it to run a company blog, which employees and customers use to find the latest news and information. We also use WordPress regularly to peruse other masons on the site - that way we can see what we're up against.
WordPress is one of the two main content management systems used across our organization. It is used not only by our department but also by many teams at a local level (we have teams that serve on various college campuses across the U.S., in addition to a centralized IT department that focuses on large-scale projects). It solves the business need of having an easily scalable, usable CMS that can be broadly distributed, easily picked up, and easily managed by leaders and contributors across the country for managing their individual websites.

WordPress is easy and fun to create with
WordPress is being used at multiple levels of the organization. It is used for the museum website, for the events website, for scholarships micro-sites, for chapters micro-sites. The biggest advantage of using WordPress at this level is granting the ability to non-technical staff to update and change these sites as required.
