Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

I've used Wordpress for more than a decade at various organizations and in my own personal life. I've used it largely for blogging, sharing our news and content with my organizations' audiences. Due to its nature as a blog, it allows for a more casual tone and a more direct way to speak directly with our users.
  • Ease of use
  • Robust features
  • Variety of attractive themes
  • Has been slower to keep up with competitors in overall look and design
  • Limited options for use other than a traditional blog
  • Very easy to get things up and running very quickly; can have a published site up within a day
  • Allows for immediate and direct conversations with audience
  • Allows for multiple users/contributors and managing permissions is very easy
Squarespace has far more options in regard to themes and design and can perform better as a traditional website. However, I feel Wordpress's tools and customization options are more robust

Do you think WordPress delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with WordPress's feature set?

Yes

Did WordPress live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of WordPress go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy WordPress again?

Yes

I think Wordpress works great at a blog platform or as a very limited website. It would not be a great option for those interested in trying to use it as a traditional website.
