Great for beginners!

As a beginner, I really love how Wordpress is user-friendly! I love the eye-catching templates and it really helped me manage my blog effectively.

Best Platform ever

Best Platform ever, I will never use another one for my sites!! I am not even a developer, but through the years learned to use WordPress and I think it's the best one (i've also used Joomla and had a custom site written, which was the WORST)

I saw some of the reviews below and I wanted to clarify that they don't have official support, but if you need any help you can Google for paid support from other companies (yes, it's paid, because the WordPress itself is free so obv they don't have support)

The Downward Spiral

WordPress used to be a great CMS for basic sites, but they've gotten rapidly worse over the last few years.

Tμrdpress is now a trainwreck of broken or insecure plugins, half-baked themes, the worst page editing tools ever created, and the nightmare of blocks.

It's probably okay if you want to do a very basic blog and don't want any control over it. Otherwise, it's becoming unusable. Different hosts seem to provide different versions (a problem in itself) but none are good anymore.

The page editing tools are worse than horrible; they allow only a tiny few options and What You See Is Nothing Like What You Get. HTML editing is no longer possible - WP mutilates anything you try to enter in a deranged attempt to second-guess what you might have wanted. Anyone writing their own HTML knows what they want!

All this garbage hasn't made it any easier to set up the rudimentary blog that TP is still capable of - it takes ten times longer than it did ten years ago. Hardly anything is simple or intuitive.

TP is no longer acceptable for any serious website. Compared to what it could have been by now, it should get one star, but the competition for CMS is pretty shabby.

we all know that wordpress has made a big vhange in website creating and blogging, so it's our duty to appreciate it, and we do!
but working with for a long time will surely make you get tired of it. there are little innovations there, changes speed is really slow and that's what makes it boring

I have had the worst time trying to get a hold of someone. First off their chat is a joke! I stayed on waiting for someone to join and they never did. Second they don’t have an email?!? Wth is that? Who doesn’t have an email? Third Bluehost is garbage too. I asked a simple question about where to paste a code and two of their reps I talked to had no idea what I was talking about. This really frustrates me. I can’t get any answers and I’ve been trying to do one simple thing for HOURS!

I'm so in love with WordPress

I'm so in love with WordPress, I believe it is one of the most important CMS reasons for the last 10 years, it is so easy that so many people can use it immediately and it is so SEO-friendly that it does help websites grow with more traffic.

I just love it!

Wordpress the best to create content and web pages

Wordpress is one of the best sites for creating websites, because it is easy to use, to update and change. And it has many tools to customize how you want your page, it's just a matter of having creativity. It has countless available templates, add-ons and widgets that will allow you to start if you are a beginner, you do not have to know programming to create pages, with wordpress you make it simple and the interesting thing is that you do everything professionally.

WordPress Makes Web Design Easy

From my personal experience, WordPress is a great resource to use for creating websites. It allows anyone to create a cost effective website, without the need for programming experience. The WordPress community and third-party developers are working hard to continuously make improvements help with UX, as well as add new features and enhance functionality with new features or plugins.

The best CMS that I have used.

It is an excellent option to create informative web pages quickly without being a programming expert. Even as a programmer, Wordpress makes the work of web development much easier, increasing profits since it saves a lot of time in carrying out projects. Highly recommended.

Account recovery / login support very poor

Building the site was quite hard with lots of glitches on photo uploads and formats. However, I haven't been able to access my account for many months as I'm in a constant login recovery loop that never results in me being able to recover the account. Avoid.
