Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

We currently use WordPress in our Marketing Department for marketing websites for our clients. Each website is a marketing website, designed and built with lead generation in mind, with our goal being to convert as many free leads as possible. We also use it for internal websites, intranets and for plugin development.
  • WordPress is extremely easy to set up and install.
  • WordPress has a large and extremely active support community.
  • WordPress scales well for websites that get light traffic and those that experience heavy traffic.
  • WordPress is built on PHP and can be customized easily.
  • Upgrading WordPress versions is extremely simple.
  • The WordPress documentation is outstanding and provides plenty of code examples.
  • WordPress sites are prone to hacking.
  • Since WordPress is open-sourced, finding the right plugin for what you want to accomplish can oftentimes be difficult.
  • WordPress is a large part of our business. With the use of SEO plugins, we're able to generate ample amounts of organic traffic.
  • Altering content to perform better for search engines is extremely simple.
  • Blocking traffic to sites we don't want crawled is as simple as checking a box. It is surprisingly helpful and works well.
I personally prefer WordPress after using ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS. The ease of getting a site up and running quickly far exceeds the other two. Plus, deploying a site from my local environment to staging to production is much simpler. WordPress is also more flexible out of the box than the other two.
WordPress is an excellent blogging and website platform for a wide range of users. It is simple to add, update and delete pages, manage navigation menus and give your clients complete control of their website. It is updated regularly and offers an immerse plugin gallery to help accomplish even the simplest of tasks.
