Overall Satisfaction with WordPress

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WordPress for multiple websites in our business. We previously had a different approach to building a webpage, but quickly realized, that many things we wanted to implement were not possible, or we were stuck with that one web designer who were never able to reach. Since switching to WordPress we can change things on the webpage easily, can integrate many other apps and resources by ourselves and have an online presence that seems trustworthy and modern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Webpage building
App integration
Web design
Security updates

Cons

Full variability in design
Integration of some apps
Easier to navigate back end

Return on Investment

better sales on online business
community engagement via groups
advertising for own business for cheap
saved money and hassle on webdesigners

Usability

We are super happy with our decision to switch to wordpress. I personally have worked with many different other businesses to implement wordpress as well and after a short introduction, so far everyone has been able to change settings, design, add articles/posts and pages by themselves. For someone working with a lot of people who are not digital natives, that is a huge part why I love it so much.

Alternatives Considered

Redaxo, Jimdo and Wix

WordPress simply has so many more options to customize both our and the users experience. Wix also is really expensive in the long run, does not let you add plugins or customize as much as you want. Jimdo is similar, just not quite as expensive. When growing our business, those just did not fulfill our needs anymore.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are a beginner in web design and you want to have your own website without much hassle WordPress is well suited. It is easy to change many things by yourself, easy to add plugins to cater more to your individual needs and cannot be used just as a blog but a full website. If you want a super personalized version not supported by WordPress, than it is obviously not for your business.
