Going Offline in Wordpress has never been better

I like the idea that this gives me ease in doing my blog project and has all the things a Wordpress user needs. I work with a lot of multimedia elements which I intend to incorporate in my blog and this is great as I haven't encountered any nuisances in creating it. Overall, a big thumbs up to the developers of this tool. Cheers!

PROS

Bitnami is really a great tool for Wordpress and accessing it offline. Because right now, I am building my own blog site and it is a good thing I can preview it already on a browser without even publishing. As a beginner in Wordpress, it takes a lot of time to get to know the codes, plugins and the themes which works best for the intended output. As opposed to drag and drop website builders like Wix and Simplesite, which are convenient to use if you want to avoid learning a bit of technical stuff, this tool allows you to literally mess around especially with the codes without even affecting the real website you are intending to build. Like me, I go through a lot of revisions especially when new ideas come up, and this works perfectly too without any issues for browsers that I've tried with (Edge, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox) when doing the preview. In addition, installing those Wordpress plugins and themes doesn't seem to affect its performance.

CONS

So far, I'm not seeing any cons as I never had any crashes using it., it is not consuming RAM usage, and it is compatible with most of the browsers I tried.

Reason for choosing Bitnami

I chose Bitnami out of curiosity over Wordpress offline. Also, the installation process for Xampp is a bit complicated, and at that time installing other modules like Apache and MySQL to accomplish it seems to me is another task I need to learn and familiarize. I didn't push thru with it as I was too eager to jump in right away and build my own blog.

Simplified web technologies management, solving varying user needs

We use bitnami to do local deployments and also to get started with specific web technologies that will later be pushed to live productions servers. So far we've found youd be hard pressed to find an easier system to get quickly started, especially if you intend to do a demo or test.

PROS

This is simply the easiest way to deploy locally, online web technologies and also get started with their management.

CONS

Alot of the settings have been tied down to simplify use , so if you are looking for fine grained controls it is not quite appropriate

Reasons for switching to Bitnami

Its a bit too complicated for a quick demo or test

My best WordPress offline installer

Bitnami has greatly improved my delivery time for designing websites for my clients as i can do so with ease offline and export online and also i can efficiently install and and edit web scripts on my local host and work on it.

PROS

With over 5 years in web design and development i must say bitnami is one of the best offline installers for wordpress i have used for my clients. i can do alot of things and even install a web script with ease. Bitnami also provide an excellent platform to work offline on my websites. An amazing thing also about bitnami is the ease of use as it doesn't require a full knowledge of web development before use.

CONS

I use bitnami a lot and i must say the cost for their pro offers are discouraging, and also the pricing isn't the cheapest amongst offline web installers and you can find an offline local host a for a better price in the market.
