Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

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.
  • Keeps design time extremely manageable while building websites.
  • Tons of themes to choose from to get started designing.
  • Has a variety of plugins to add functionality for any type of website.
  • Some of the themes can be tricky to get set up.
  • Editing themes can become difficult at times.
  • Plugins can be buggy depending on which theme they are implemented with.
  • It has a positive inpact on ROI with the speed I can build and edit websites.
  • Some of the themes can be expensive pushing the ROI down.
  • WordPress allows me to manage multiple sites at the same time helping to increse ROI.
I chose to compare Shopify to WordPress because I develop a lot of ECommerce websites for my customers. WordPress, by far, offers more functionality. The WoCommerce plugins can be a little challenging to set up but is well worth the effort with the extensions they offer. WordPress is easier to set up.

WordPress is well suited for building 90% of the websites my company builds for its clients. It is perfect for building static websites as well as advanced sites with contact forms and extensive headers. There have only been a few instances where I would need to custom code due to not having the functionality in WordPress.
