Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WordPress for my personal consulting website. Other than LinkedIn, that is my online presence for my personal business. When creating the site, I wanted a product that would be easy for me to use once the vendor who set up the site was gone. And this is what I have, as it requires very little maintenance on my part and is regularly updated to newer versions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Updates seamlessly
Interacts smoothly with other website software.
Has a wide range of themes available for businesses.

Cons

Better tutorials is the only thing I can think of.

Return on Investment

It kept my website development costs low which is a positive for its ROI.
It provides me with a low cost way to reach potential customers.

Usability

It is very easy to get started with WordPress which means it is very utile. But since so many add-ins can work with WordPress, its utility is magnified 100 fold. So there are add-ins for forms, add-ins for blogs, add-ins for security, etc. So many add-ins that there probably isn't anything you can't do with a WordPress website if you want to do it.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think WordPress is well suited for smaller businesses and sole proprietors who don't have the knowledge or the time to learn how to program a website in Javascript or something similar. And because of how many software products are designed to work with WordPress, getting the website you are looking for is very easy.
