I work with WordPress as a developer and build a wide range of websites for my clients. Some of them are beauty clinics, online stores, portfolio sites, and company profiles. Recently, there was an agriculture website where they provide services and sell many agricultural products. We use WordPress and WooCommerce for that.

We use WordPress to showcase our services, where we offer WordPress website design and development, WordPress plugin development and maintenance. Basically, it's the core of my organization. It helps me deliver the website with high efficiency and speed; it offers great scalability & customization.

WordPress's user-friendly content management system makes it simple for our clients to update and manage their websites independently, reducing their reliance on us for routine tasks and updates.

It has great community support and WordPress's regular updates and a wide array of security plugins help us maintain the integrity and security of our clients' websites.

I appreciate the flexibility of WordPress, particularly its filter and action hooks, which allow for the development of additional features. We can build our own plugins into this. We can be creative while following our clients' requirements. For example, I recently built a custom plugin where the client wanted extra functionalities about membership, special profile pages, and a subscription system. And WordPress has helped a lot, thanks to its flexibility. I could use current plugins on the market and then modify them with my own plugin and collaborate with other existing plugins. So, WordPress has reduced a lot of work for me as a developer. With WordPress, I can achieve the functionality that I want. I don't have to do everything from scratch because a few solutions exist in the market, and I can enhance that.

I would like to see a new UI. It's pretty boring to see the same interface for so many years. Since 2003 there hasn't been much difference in the backend panel of the administrator area. It needs to be updated visually in the admin area.

I've used the solution for over a decade. But for the past eight years, I've used it more intensely, focusing more on development.

WordPress is stable. The most important thing to do is to just keep updating the plugins. Most of my clients, for whom I also do maintenance, have faced no problems with their websites. However, I sometimes have clients who face problems and come to me because they are too late to update the plugins.

WordPress offers impressive scalability, making it possible to begin with a basic website and continually expand its capabilities.

In the context of client projects, the scalability of WordPress becomes particularly evident. For instance, if I create an e-commerce website for a client, the user base can easily surpass 100 users, especially when the client is actively selling products and consistently adding new customers to their site. In my portfolio, I manage more than 30 clients, each with unique websites.

If the website is just to showcase products and services, then the user probably only has three or five working on that website as an administrator or editor where they write a blog. But when the website is an e-commerce solution, users will grow as much as possible because they are selling products. And as they are selling products, new users are always signing in as customers and buying their products. That number could grow, even from zero to 500, and even more.

A long time ago, I used Joomla, which is also a CMS. Since I knew WordPress, I started to switch from Joomla to WordPress.

I combined WordPress with the WooCommerce plugin for e-commerce solutions since that plugin is very popular for e-commerce. I've used PrestaShop in the past. It was really good as an e-commerce solution. However, in terms of flexibility, PrestaShop is not that flexible because it's mostly built for e-commerce. Because of that, I focused more on WordPress because the level of scalability is higher for WordPress. You could start with a basic website or blog, add in membership, and start selling products. The business grows and changes, and you still can use the same platform, WordPress.

I recently had a client that switched from Wix to WordPress.

I usually built the website from scratch and followed the design that was provided by the client or by our designer, then enhanced them with additional features. I added extra code there to tailor the website's functionality to the specific needs of the client.

The pricing is very reasonable because WordPress is an open-source platform. Likewise, there are so many free plugins, so it's already a good starting point for me and my clients. But if we need extra solutions to have a good layout, for example, we can either do custom code or use Elementor to style the website. Elementor is not expensive. It's about $50 per year. In general, it's a pretty cheap solution to build a website using WordPress.

Because WordPress is so popular, most of the time, my clients already have previous knowledge about using it, such as how to write a new blog. Suppose they want to make some changes to their page, such as how to put a new image or video media. In that case, they already know about it because it's a big market, and there is a strong possibility they've had previous experience using WordPress. In the back end, WordPress is user-friendly because it's pretty familiar. If you have ever used a WordPress website and then checked another WordPress website in the back end, most of the time it has a similar interface. Moreover, many plugins add new features and suit websites with different functionalities. There has been a recent development for WordPress where they are going with a block system in Gutenberg, and that could be the future, so in general, I think it will be better and more modern.

I have never asked for any technical support because, most of the time, if I really need technical support, I can simply Google it, and some other developers or users would have already answered the question I have.

My advice to general users is to just use it. WordPress is pretty easy, and there are several free YouTube tutorials on how to use it. And if they have made a new website in WordPress, they can ask developers to give them a short tutorial on how to use it. In general, they can always go back to the Internet and find information on how to use it. Many users can install new plugins if needed because it's so easy. But when it comes to more specific functionalities, a general user needs to go back to the developer. I rate WordPress a ten out of ten.

I use WordPress to do websites for big companies. You can use WordPress for anything web-related. It's a framework.

WordPress helps me in two ways. In the first place, WordPress is the most used framework for CMS. 45% of the websites on the Internet use WordPress. Secondly, it is easy to edit content using WordPress. The final user can edit homepages, make blogs, or do something different. But the most valuable thing is that it is customizable. It has a huge community of developers for its free software. It uses the GPL license, so you can edit the code. You can share what you've done and participate for free. Around 10,000 developers are using WordPress, so its code is solid.

I work in the community, and I'm part of a team making the core of WordPress. We are responsible for creating how WordPress will change in the next version. The main point is concurrency. For example, we have Squarespace, Wix, and a lot of other frameworks with the same features and functionalities. All those frameworks are going to a completely no-code experience. Anyone can then have a website. You're just dragging, dropping, and writing texts very easily. It's like using Facebook. WordPress comes from a node way. There was a time when the webmaster needed to code in HTML, PHP, or some language to have a website. It has changed over time, but we still have some old things inside the backend of WordPress. We are currently removing all those old things. Day by day, WordPress will be easier to use and more user-friendly. WordPress needs to improve its usability. That way, it will be easier to create websites, e-commerce, CRM, platforms for education, or anything else.

It would be good if WordPress improved its AI. For example, if you have a blog, the blog will be auto-writing. I'm working on this, and we have some solutions. Another feature should be the identification of users. It's related to AI. For example, if you go to a website like Facebook or another social network, it's possible to learn everything about you if you go to that place. WordPress has something like that, but it's not so deep. I am personally working on that feature. Anyone coming to a WordPress website will be identified. It's tricky because we have a kind of privacy to follow, so we need to balance both things.

I've used WordPress since 2005.

I rate WordPress' stability a nine out of ten since the free version is not so stable. But if the commercial version is stable, I rate it a ten out of ten.

I rate WordPress' scalability a ten out of ten.

Can I rate it 20?

How difficult it is to deploy depends on how you choose. If you go to WordPress dot com, the company, the commercial site, the initial setup is easy. You just have to fill in a few fields. If you use the WordPress dot org, it is the free version. You need to have some knowledge of servers, for example, Linux. It's complex. The paid platform is very simple. You need more knowledge if you use the community, the free software.

WordPress is free. WordPress can be pricey, ranging from $0 to thousands per month. But it depends on the version you are using.

WordPress is different from other platforms because it is highly customizable. My advice is to follow the community. I rate WordPress a ten out of ten.

My company uses WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). It is an off-shelf solution that can be installed on pretty much all hosting solutions available in the market. WordPress can be extended or customized, meaning it can be extended with plug-ins or extensions. The solution can also be redesigned, and it can have different layouts. The templates are called WordPress Themes. With WordPress, In our company, we don't use the already available themes since we don't buy premium templates or utilize page builders in WordPress. My company builds completely custom templates for our clients. WordPress powers 44 percent of websites across the globe, making it one of the most popular content management systems in the world because it's very easy to start using it while also being very flexible. WordPress is also very customizable in terms of integrations. Almost all the world's vendors who manage deliveries and payments have their own plug-ins for WordPress or WooCommerce. WooCommerce is an extension of WordPress, making your website an e-commerce marketplace.

Our company has its own website based on WordPress since it is the only thing for which WordPress can be used. WordPress can be used for online shops, especially if you extend your business to e-commerce.

In WordPress, the user onboarding process is an area with complexities that needs improvement through the simplification of the learning curve for users. More learning materials should be available to help users with the onboarding process. When you initially start with the solution and invite someone as a user in WordPress, they would be able to log in and access the interface, but there is no step-by-step explanation provided.

I have been using WordPress for fourteen years. I lead a company involved in WordPress development.

The stability of WordPress can be described as an ideal one. The stability depends a lot on your server infrastructure and where you will be putting the server.

To utilize the scalability options of WordPress, you need a more advanced technical team and not servers in place. In general, WordPress is a scalable product. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Around 30 people in my company use the solution.

My company plans to use more of the solution in the future.

WordPress is an open-source product, so there is no technical support required. For support, there is an online community from where you can hire developers for WordPress, or you can just communicate with the online community members.

Drupal and Joomla were the solutions I used before moving to WordPress. I started using WordPress since it is one of the best solutions in the market that provides its users with a lot more flexibility and ease of use.

There is no cloud version or on-premises version in WordPress. WordPress is an open-source platform.

The deployment process for WordPress happens with our company's servers. WordPress is a software that needs to be installed on servers. So many providers offer to host your WordPress site on their servers. Shopify has its own servers, so you cannot install Shopify on another server. WordPress can be installed anywhere. The deployment process of WordPress consists of uploading files and connecting to the database on a server.

The deployment process for WordPress takes around five minutes to complete.

WordPress is an open-source product, meaning it is available for free.

WordPress can help businesses get online with a limited budget since every business needs an online presence nowadays, and it would be great if a business could have its own website for around 5,000 USD, though there may not be many complex features provided.

WordPress is going the right way, and it is developing quite rapidly, considering the amount of people dependent on WordPress. WordPress has a roadmap that it follows.

Though maintenance is required for the solution, it is not a necessity.

I suggest that those who plan to use the solution have a good support and development team for WordPress in place. I rate the overall product a ten out of ten.

My primary focus is on developing and assisting clients from various business sectors, including small-scale e-commerce businesses and large enterprise-level enterprises. WordPress is our primary platform for achieving this goal, and we make the most of its capabilities. In my company, we exclusively utilize WordPress and Shopify as our content management systems. We extend two primary options to our clients: for standard enterprise-level websites, we offer WordPress, while for e-commerce solutions, we provide a choice between Shopify and WordPress. The selection between the two depends entirely on the client's preferences.

Everything we use is geared towards providing solutions, but there's a caveat. It's crucial to ensure that your work is optimized because updates can pose challenges. Some plugins and themes may not be compatible with the latest updates, and certain functionalities may not work seamlessly with the most current versions. This is why many developers feel like they are taking a step back in web development. It might improve in the future, but currently, around fifty to sixty percent of us face setbacks due to this issue.

The standout feature is its high degree of customization. Creating user-friendly, easily maintainable websites is a breeze, especially with the convenient admin access. Moreover, the flexibility of incorporating plugins into the backend allows us to swiftly implement various functionalities like payment methods, third-party reviews, or integrating external services onto our website.

When a new developer builds a website using WordPress, we often encounter a challenge. WordPress doesn't automatically scan the website, so we need to install paid plugins for this purpose. Unfortunately, this can lead to slower performance, which is a notable drawback.

I have been working with WordPress for the past three years.

Workforce performance relies on the server's capabilities, particularly its strength. If your server lacks sufficient workspace or experiences certain limitations, it can significantly impact performance. So, whether a website faces issues or remains stable hinges entirely on the quality and strength of its server.

In the coming two to three decades, there is a growing sense of scalability, and this trend is expected to continue and even expand. However, as AI and automation become more prevalent, there is a possibility that new competitors may enter the market and redefine what is considered "the best." Nevertheless, over the next two to three decades, significant growth is anticipated. But for the present moment, it's essential to assess the current level of scalability.

We assist the client effectively in the initial two months, and we offer support.

While I've experimented with many and found them to be effective, it's worth noting that we used to operate without any such tools in the past.

There are two methods for setting up WordPress. Currently, the first option involves directly installing WordPress through the cPanel or a similar control panel, allowing us to quickly install it on our domain. However, this method lacks flexibility. The second approach is to download the latest WordPress setup directly from the official WordPress website, migrate it to our servers, configure it along with the database, and then use it. The choice depends on the client's needs and the project's timeline. While one person can manage our personal website in most cases, when clients have tight deadlines and extensive requirements, we may need to allocate three or four individuals to work on it simultaneously, and takes a maximum of two weeks.

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.

This can make it more cost-effective for developers, as they can manage multiple websites with a single payment. On the client's end, though, it may be seen as relatively expensive. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

I recommend that you first assess your server environment before initiating the web test setup. Once you've done that, you'll be able to utilize WordPress effectively, regardless of the circumstances or expenses involved.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I like the tool's plugins.

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 have been using the solution for two years.

I rate WordPress' stability an eight out of ten.

I rate the tool's scalability a three out of ten.
