Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

WordPress is the software that runs the company’s website. Only a select few at my company have access to the program. The nature of the software offers a flexible and adaptable website. It is also a cost-effective way to create a website.
  • WordPress is adaptable. No company is the same. A website building tool should be able to reflect the needs of the business. All too often a software’s limitation dictates what a client can or cannot do. The business should make the choices, not the program.
  • It is widely used. The familiarity of WordPress is great for companies without a dedicated tech team. Finding someone to change or fix a bug isn’t hard.
  • User roles. Having different permissions and user roles is very beneficial. It allows people with different abilities and comfort levels to use and interact with a site’s content.
  • I’ve been very pleased with WordPress. Though I’ve found that with the increasing ability to change the design and look of a site, it is easy to have custom CSS in multiple spots.
  • WordPress is a reliable sorftware and worth any investment.
  • It had allowed my company to take control of their website. Previous versions of the site had left the company in the hands of coders every time an update or change needed to be made.
  • It has lowered the cost of upgrading and maintenance of the code.
I went straight from html website coding to using WordPress and it’s php functionality. I choose WordPress because of its reviews and scalability. Learning WordPress was an invaluable decision for me.
I think this is a great program for small business. It offers out of the box solutions that you can individualize as needed and invest in as a company grows. It is an easy software to learn how to use.

I find WordPress.com more difficult to use, but that is because I like the flexibility of WordPress.org.
