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.

I currently use WordPress for personal use. It's a fantastic option to try my hand at designing and creating my own website with the features I want. I chose WordPress to create a website to promote my products that I have for sale, and to offer more information about who I am and what my company offers.
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 Review!
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 rocks; we love it
We use the platform for the front-end development of all our sites and pages--the platform just works well and we use it with Thrive Themes and connect it directly to our CRM. The biggest advantage we have always found with WordPress is that it simply works. We never have issues with it as a platform.

Solid, easily-extendable content management system
Our professional services department began using WordPress to create custom client websites 5-6 years ago. It provides a consistent framework for our projects, allowing us to create custom solutions while providing a solid, secure, and user-friendly experience for our customers.

Wordpress: Lotta options for not a lotta dough
WordPress is used by certain departments to publish their monthly newsletters. In this regard, it works very well - it's straightforward for users to use and it's even easier for us to implement. I have also recommended it to other people outside of our organization for use for their side-businesses because it's easy to secure, easy to add add-in products, and simple to write pages for. They do frequent security updates and so long as you're willing to keep up with the maintenance (once a month) it'll serve you well. The interface to write and design pages is very straightforward. They have a wide variety of free (and also paid-for) templates to design your page, but also supports custom written templates for pages. This makes it exceptionally extensible and customizable for almost every situation you can come up with. It allows departments to be responsible for their own pages, so Tech Staff aren't constantly updating webpages for other people. It certainly helps to free up Tech Staff time and also encourages people to be responsible for their own content.

WordPress is excellent for business websites
We have used WordPress for years to create websites for our businesses. We have one main business (our school) and some smaller businesses which we've also created websites for. It's great to be able to do everything online so we're not tethered to a specific computer. It's also very beneficial to have the regular security updates, to be able to change the look of our website quickly and easily in the form of themes, and the vast array of plugins that allow us to add many different features to our sites.

Building websites quickly and easily with WordPress
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.

WordPress is used to power my staffing organization's website for blogging, taking in resume's from job candidates, and for seeking business from employers. We use WordPress to handle form data, post regular content, and host media. WordPress is used by the entire organization, though it is only directly managed by the Strategy department. We have also used WordPress to handle a small amount of eCommerce.

Powerful Software Offers Lots of Customization at a Price
Early in my tenure at Bepress, we elected to revamp our corporate website and selected Wordpress as our solution of choice. This was the first time our company had worked with Wordpress, and to the extent that the corporate website is used by the whole organization I suppose it was used by the whole organization, however, the users were almost entirely the Marketing team.

WordPress is a worthy CMS and blogging platform
WordPress is a pretty malleable platform. It can be used as a simple website, blog, or you can extend it with a variety of plugins to morph it into almost anything else. I have deployed this as both a website and a blog in multiple instances. I've also used plugins to secure the site as well as add additional features such as file sharing and media. It's free software that can be quickly deployed and is relatively simple to run. Low cost and overhead make this a great tool.

WordPress for Website Growth
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.

WordPress for Medical Blog
Health and Willness uses WordPress a great deal of the time. This is how we have created our entire website and continue to utilize it to post our weekly (sometimes biweekly) blog posts showcasing a great plethora of medical information for new nurses. The entire organization does use the program, though, we use it in different facets. My supervisor does more of the behind-the-scenes coding and formatting to get the perfect look for the website, where I am more of the day-to-day, posting new posts and checking our analytics. It has been a great way to grow our email list and ultimately create the client base we were looking for.

A superior blogging tool
WordPress is a helpful tool for our marketing and fundraising departments. We use WordPress to show how awesome it is to be a Girl Scout and encourage other girls to join. We write and create posts to show what our organization is doing, what community projects the Girl Scouts have been working on, and the benefits of joining a Girl Scout troop. We are able to create content that matches our brand but is separate from our website, which gives us the freedom to get creative. It helps solve the problem of outreach, as we see a decline in interest as girls get older.

Wordpress is used to build smaller sites that we need to look good, and be able to create within a timely manner. Wordpress also allows us to create great looking content/websites for our clients, and it's easy to hand over the editing capabilities to them with little training on the CMS.

The WordPress platform (we use the stand-alone product) is the absolute perfect way to establish a public-facing presence in the world. We (and I as an individual) use it for our primary website, which is to provide information for our potential customers, but also for blogging smaller updates and celebrations/milestones we reach.
It is my go-to software for websites because it is just so versatile, flexible, reliable, and literally perfect. It always works.

We use WordPress for our own website as well as several clients. Using the new BigCommerce App integration we have two clients that are now selling their products on separate websites increasing their web presence. This is a very cost effective way to expand on the web. The amount of Plug-ins for WordPress make customization very easy.

Quick, intuitive solution for hosting a blog/site
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.
