Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

WordPress has been the Go-to platform for our website for over 15 years.
We tried Joomla and Apple Iweb before this. Nothing comapres to WordPress for its ease of use, its flexibility, the way the web pages are seen on cell phone and tablets and its overall stability.
We have had 10 sites using WordPress, some with Woe Commerce plug in , some with OptimizePress plug in and some WordPress native .
Our main web site as over 800 pages includin a 700+-posts blog.
Flawless!!

Pros

  • Easy editing of web pages
  • Easy addition of blog post
  • RSS link to be used with Mailchimp automation
  • Well referenced
  • SEO plug-in easily integrated for optimized search
  • page design is easily understood by novice users
  • Editing interface is user friendly

Cons

  • Once advanced functions are activated by pro-users, novices can be hard-pressed to modify easily.
  • SEO tools could be improved. Using plug-ins are Ok but native WordPress SEO would be nice
  • Media management could be improved. Some old media are difficult to remove.
  • Warning for big media files would be helpful for novice users not aware of the impact of huge files on loading speed.
  • I would not have a business without WordPress!
  • My clients refer to my website more frequently since I have started using WordPress
  • WordPress allows me to present my business in a very professional fashion
  • I have had several iterations of my website over the years. The lastest ones using WordPress have been the most satisfying by far!
  • My webmaster was very pleased when we switched to WordPress 15 years ago. And still is!!!
I am not a programmer.
With minimal initial training, the learning curve has been rapid and steep! I can now modify my web site without outside help. A HUGE improvement with respect to the former platforms.
Being able to create pages, blog posts within a stable and user-friendly interface is a major avantage of WordPress. Not depending on anyone to modify my web site and still do it expecting a professional looking website is the selling point wiehn I mention WordPress to my clients and partners.
I use a lot of business software.
Some I use for a short while. Some I never stop using.
WordPress has been part of my business life for 15 years and has never disappointed me. It has always improved and I never felt the "upgrade" were a downgrade... this is one of the few cornerstones of my business.
Always reliable.
Always stable.
Always part of my business strategy.
For the last 15 years. and I expect for the next 15!

Very few software can comapre to this.

iPages, Apple Keynote, Apple Numbers, Dropbox Business, Intuit Mailchimp, Doodle, Miro
Definitely the one platform I would recommend more than anything I have seen.
The ready-to-use web site platforms offered all over the web, Facebook and Youtube are OK to start but everyone I know who has used those ready -to-go platforms are disappointed after a while. The bells and whistles of those sites are no match with WordPress powerful and flexible design tools.
WordPress beats them all! IT takes almost no time to learn and use it adequately.
