Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

We are a boutique real estate firm that seeks to expand our digital presence and use the internet to drive leads, conversions and new clients to our website. We built our website using WordPress and could not function without it. The sheer versatility and number of great plug-ins make [WorkPress] an all-in-one [product] that we are continuing to learn about and master.
  • Ease of use
  • Versality - lots of additional features through plug-ins
  • Accessible - the popularity of the product means you can get plenty of help
  • It can be glitchy and buggy at times
  • Need to go to 3rd parties for instructions on how to do more complex things
  • It does not always integrate as seamlessly as it could with plug-ins like Yoast SEO
  • It has allowed us to measure and increase our rate of conversion

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?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy WordPress again?

Yes

If you're building a website from scratch, WordPress is the way to go. It's relatively straightforward, easy to use, and looks professional. Take your time planning and researching to ensure that you use only the plug-ins and extras you need. This is because using too many plug-ins can slow [down] the site, so for a more advanced website with lots of different features and complex codes you might look elsewhere.
