Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We are able to handle more than one hundred POs at any given time with their shipping docs and info, with only one person in charge."
"I would recommend WordPress because it is easy to use and more flexible than a SaaS website such as Wix."
"WordPress offers great flexibility."
"The best feature of WordPress is its user-friendliness and its strong SEO capabilities."
"The best feature in WordPress is Elementor. It lets you easily create one-page landing sites."
"There are so many free plugins"
"The best feature of WordPress is that it provides no-code solutions, enabling us to make anything when we use Elementor."
"Ready-made themes speed the design process; a huge number of quality themes are available from several sources."
"It is easy to edit content using WordPress."
 

Cons

"The search engine could be improved and also provide some kind of indexing."
"One area of improvement is hosting. It should have its file manager regardless of where you host your website."
"In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities...there is no step-by-step explanation provided."
"I would recommend dumping the Gutenberg interface, as that is horrible."
"The backend development process needs improvement."
"The basic product is becoming less usable by end users for site maintenance post delivery."
"It could be a little bit easier to use."
"WordPress needs to adapt to new technologies. It also needs to improve scalability. We don't have optimized content and plugins in the tech stack."
"I would like to see a new UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I paid to have a WordPress site for two years and didn't just have a free one."
"The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform."
"Regarding pricing, we have the flexibility to utilize certain themes and plugins across multiple websites for a single one-time cost. However, there are instances where themes come with only one activation key, limiting their use to a single website. Certain plugins and themes come with a significant cost, with the least expensive theme priced at around $120. Additionally, plugins typically range from $80 to $90 per year for a subscription. Consequently, it can be considered somewhat costly in this regard. Conversely, when it comes to WordPress, there is no expenditure involved."
"WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month."
"WordPress is a free CMS. Installing WordPress is free, although the domain will cost money."
"WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free."
"It provides a high ROI."
"Set up cost is nothing. Pricing is free. You need to pay a cost only for the domains, hosting, and to buy themes."
