Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

Wordpress is being used for our site across the board. It is very versatile in that there are plugins for almost any function you can think of and if there isn't one, it's easy for a developer to create and add to the site. With Wordpress you have maximum control over site functionality and design.
  • There are many plugins ready to add to your site.
  • You have full creative control over how you develop your site.
  • There are many people out there with extensive blogs to help troubleshoot issues.
  • If you are after a simple drag and drop type site then wordpress may be too difficult for you.
  • Allows for a complex site to be made.
