Overall Satisfaction with WordPress
I've used WordPress to create several blogs for different businesses I've been involved with as the internet marketing coordinator. I've also used it to write blogs about the music I'm passionate about, and to help independent musicians get more attention from a wider array of fans. WordPress lets me create a beautiful website quickly and easily.
- Anyone can make a website without coding.
- WordPress websites are SEO friendly.
- There are many 3rd party sources for WordPress tips & tricks
- Sometimes you still have to add code because the basic text formatting can get messed up.
- Toggling back and forth between "coder" view and the WYSIWYG messes things up, and yet sometimes it's necessary.
- It would be great to be able to see what your site would look like to viewers as you're creating it.
- It's free and the better themes are cheap.
- It makes starting a new internet business easy because it's cheap to start and you can experiment to see if your idea will be profitable.
- Other users/writers can easily add content
- Wix and Squarespace
I already knew how to use WordPress. One time, a client asked me to set up his site on Wix and I hated the layout of the platform and the learning curve I had to go through. I gave up. Squarespace sites look good, but I couldn't get into it because I was already so familiar with WordPress and the back end was too different.
