Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

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.
  • Ease of use: once a site is built using [WordPress], it is easy to make content updates. Usually, you can just copy/paste your content into a simple text editor (similar to what you would see in a word processor) within WordPress and the content will look great on the frontend of the site.
  • Plugins: Since [WordPress] is an industry standard CMS (content management system), most plugins are available and easy to use within WP.
  • Customizability: [WordPress] is great out of the box, but you can use certain page builders that allow further customizability at the page-level.
  • While the flexibility of [WordPress] is great, a first-time user with no development experience might need to spend some time getting adjusted to the platform. There's so much you can do with it that'd it would be easy to become overwhelmed.
  • Sometimes when [WordPress] updates to a new version, certain functions are buggy for a time. [Usually bugs are minor and WordPress usually works out the issues quickly. Also, WordPress updates can cause bugs with plugins that have not yet adjusted to the update. In that case, it is up to the discretion of the plugin developer to fix the bug].
  • It saves us a lot of time because we're able to use a modular page editor that allows us to easily change the layout of a page.
  • The customizability of the platform allows us to upsell features.
Webflow is great if you are working with a designer because most designers will be able to create pages directly in the Webflow interface. However, updating content and images in Webflow is a little clunkier. If you're looking for something that will allow you and your clients to more easily update content in the long-term, WordPress is the best option.
