What is WordPress?
Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.
Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity
and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

WordPress goof for non-techies
I use WordPress for 3 of my businesses including my personal website. I post daily updates through a blog and it also allows me to interact with customers/supporters.

We are using WordPress for our company website, we have a special development department and they update the website every day. We never found any issues regarding development and editing content in WordPress. The dashboard of WordPress is so easy to understand and use. Adding posts, pages, products, and every other option is so easy that anyone can make a website without knowledge of difficult programming languages.

WordPress Review
WordPress is being used by the whole organization, after making a full-scale product switch last year. Having had previous experience using this product in the past, I have been able to assist others in utilizing it for best possible use/outcome.<br><br>Essentially, this is acting as whole user (internal and external) web interface for our entire organization, and is much easier to use from a backend standpoint (not to mention working with other plug-ins, etc. better as well) for all involved so far.
We primarily build websites in WordPress for our clients as well as for ourselves. Our company has two primary parts: website development and internet marketing. While we sometimes build using other content management systems, WordPress is our preferred platform for ease of use for the end-user, SEO capabilities, and flexibility. Overall it allows us to build websites that are easy for people to update, create new content on, and scale.
We use WordPress to build and manage our website. It's heavily used by our communications team who put updates, blogs and news on our website.
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:
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

WordPress: Easiest CMS available today
It is used by [some of our] departments. Sometimes there are needs for a small department to showcase their activities and collaborate with each other. The easiest and the most accessible is using a website. The challenges are: (1) how to enable non-IT users able to update the content all the time by themselves to keep the website relevant, without any assistance from IT and (2) how to deploy a sophisticated website as quickly as possible without consuming too many IT resources for setup and also for future maintenance. WordPress solves those challenges.

Wordpress is the best cheap CMS to build fast
WordPress was used by 3 very high-volume news websites acquired by my previous company. It was used to quickly build a cheap, high-functioning suite of sites to collect data and email addresses and serve ads. I would definitely use it again despite the vitriol it gets from the development community.
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.

WP is the choice for serious web projects
Our nonprofit mental health center has a WordPress site. I use our site and update it for Public Information purposes and employees from across the organization also access the site for a variety of purposes (HR, IT, etc.). Our use is fairly basic; About Us, Contact Info, Job Openings, information about services, and a few interactive forms. It covers all the basics you would expect from a typical company website.
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.
Our company uses Wordpress for our main web site, where we house program information, news, faculty profiles, forms and handbooks. I use it specifically for a school at the university, and nearly all of the web sites on our university's server are built on WordPress. The shortcode and frameworks of WordPress are relatively easy to learn and use, and, despite exploring other options periodically, we've stuck with WP.
We currently use WordPress for our website content management. It is used only in our communications department. For our needs, it provides us a way to connect with our audience, share information that could be pertinent to them, and offer resources and solutions for clients. It's an easy-to-use tool that is universal, meaning new folks who join our team can quickly get up-to-speed and make edits to content on the site as needed. It also means that not just one person is responsible for making such edits, which allows flexibility and sharing of responsibilities.

Excellent Value for Money and Easy to Use
I use WordPress for my coaching website and blog. I use it for funneling new clients to me for questions or to get to my blog. It helps me manage my content in an organized way and to market my small business. It’s a great tool and quite simple yet effective way to get to the public.
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.

WordPress is a great tool for engagement
Currently, I use WordPress to share and promote the diverse history of the university. Stories and research are produced weekly and released to the campus and campus community. This has helped with donor and alumni engagement...who doesn't love looking back on memories and the special quirks of their alma mater? While I manage the site and write the content, the material is picked up by marketing, advancement, student life, and other offices to use in their various campaigns.

WordPress is Our Choice!
At my non-profit organization, WordPress is used within the development/fundraising and marketing departments. We lean more towards use in conjunction with fundraising efforts and try to tie it into current mailings or impact reports. As a health organization, we have also posted content related to health concern months such as Pink October for breast cancer awareness.
We use WordPress across the whole organization. It addresses managing our website.
We use Wordpress internally at a couple of departments for internal use. It started out as a hobby project but has since been picked up professionally and is now running a nice-looking intranet for the departments. Most people know how to use a WordPress site as a normal user so adoption was quick. We have been looking at other products but people are happy with it.
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.

WordPress is a powerful platform that offers unlimited customization for those willing to learn
We use WordPress to manage all our organization's websites (including main sites, subsites, and department-specific sites). It is used primarily by myself for web design/development, with several departments having access to specific aspects for publishing purposes. WordPress helps us create a versatile yet simple web presence that gives us better reach both locally & globally.

WordPress - The Best of the Best!!
Our organization uses WordPress for our online bulk food store. It has addressed the issue of being able to reach audiences that are not local to our store, so we can reach a broader group of customers.

Great Web Design Platform
Currently, I use WordPress as the main development software to build websites for my clients. The platform allows me to build complete websites for companies in an efficient and effective way. The sites are both attractive and user-friendly. It also has lots of plugins to add functionality to each site.

WordPress helps us to have a presence on the web and the abilities to also showcase our offerings and push online sales.

You Can't Beat Free but WordPress Does!
All of my websites that I design and host are on WordPress. WordPress is used, depending on who you ask, on anywhere between 25% to 33% of all website domains. It is very easy to use for novices with a little training and very intuitive for those with more advanced skills.
