Still one of the most versatile website platforms on the market.

I've onboarded a lot of clients into leveraging Wordpress, and the learning curve is pretty minimal, at least for doing basic things. The ability to create new custom post types, change taxonomies, or use page builders is great. Like any system, the quality and value you'll get out of it also depends on doing your due diligence when selecting plugins and themes, how much you choose to code, and ensuring regular updates and testing before deploying code changes to production. The quality of your host also matters a lot, as not all are created equal (and some are better suited to hosting Wordpress sites).

Wordpress is a great solution for a website of nearly any type. It may not be as suitable if a fully custom solution or app is needed, and it does have some limitations when it comes to connecting it to external products (especially if the product doesn't have any support from a native system), and it does require a lot of testing. Multiple plugins in one install are common but also increase the risk of conflicts, and when those do occur, it can be exceptionally time-consuming and tedious to identify what is causing the issue. As third parties create many plugins, you're also at risk with each potential security breach, which needs to be kept in mind. I would be cautious to use WordPress to store any sort of sensitive PPI. That said, it's a wonderful, easily customizable solution for many, many different types of websites and can allow even inexperienced client users with low-tech knowledge to update basics.
