Easiest Way to Create and Support a Web Page
It has been great, and I Really recommend Everyone to use Wordpress to create any kind of Web Pages.
PROSThat You have everything at a Hand, if you need something, it is almost likely that it is already done by someone else and you download the plugin and done.
CONSThat sometimes in Upgrades it get really annoying because some plugins stop working and you need to wait until everything is upgraded/updated.
Reason for choosing WordPress
Wordpress if you know it, it is free and without Fees

Wix have a cost and you have a lot of walls that don't let you do a lot of different kind of stuff, you are limited by the thing they have.

A Great Solution for Experts and for People who don't know a single line of code
Wordpress saved me a lot fo time in developing not only websites, but also platforms with complex services for various clients.
PROSWP, for those who need more than a blog, is downloadable and installable apart from Wordpress.com. Is totally customizable, constantly updated and have a HUGE community and a very rich documentation.
CONSThe fact that there are so many thir party plugins around, means that at every update we need to be very careful to not break anything because of incompatibility problems. Also, the more plugins one install the more slow our website become. Sometimes is difficult to find a issue, and the debug steps requires to literally shut down the website deactivating everything.The security can be improved by default, instead of forcing a user to move and hide things around only after installation and manually.

Wordpress as a Designer/user
It was neutral to positive experience for me using wordpress. Since I have an engineering and programming background I was able to do quite a bit in a short amount of time. It is a great platform to use for someone who is looking to just have a simple website with basic information and nothing complex. I think it is very intuitive and useful for bloggers.
PROSI used this software to build a website for a Non-Profit foundation for some fundraising events. I got an account with Bluehost server and wordpress was included in it. For someone who has never built a website before, wordpress did make my life very very easy. It has numerous features that can definitely help a novice like me get a basic website up and running. I enjoyed the following things while using this - Themes It comes with some basic theme templates which can be used to build the website. Just fill in some information that relates to your website and it will populate it. Think of it as a powerpoint template with boxes and design - Easy to upload pictures I was able to create folders and stores pictures on there and name them accordingly so I can go back and use them on different pages. - Widgets and Plugins The main attraction for this software platform I believe is their built in widgets and plugins. You can download from so many options. It is kind of like exploring the app store on your phone. Since it is an open source lot of users create their own widgets and plugins which are either free or you can purchase it. Needless to say purchased ones are much better but I got by with all free ones. - Edit code yes if you are a very savvy css html developer and you understand the code, you can go in and change their code and make adjustments. Warning: Don't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing
CONSThe cons that i noticed in my website after it went live was - Speed The website was just slow. I am not sure if it is because of the widgets and plugins running on wordpress but I hated the speed. - Updates could ruin website Their themes get constantly updated so if you do not update it properly or if the new build released has a bug on it, it could mess up certain things on your website. This happened to many times where the plugins that worked fine on the older build wouldn't work the same on the new. - Time consuming for beginners Yeah it's not as simple as I was expecting it to be. I did spend quite an amount of time understanding the features and how to make best use of them. It was a lot of trial and error so be ready to put in some work at least.

"WordPress: Empowering Website Management and Content Creation"
My overall experience with WordPress has been highly positive. It has provided me with a robust platform to manage and create content for my website effectively. The extensive customization options and flexibility have allowed me to tailor my website to match my brand and meet my specific requirements. The seamless integration with various third-party plugins has enhanced my website's functionality and allowed me to streamline my business processes. While there may be a learning curve for beginners and occasional considerations for security and plugin compatibility, the benefits and features of WordPress outweigh these challenges. WordPress has been a reliable and powerful tool for website management and content creation, empowering me to establish a strong online presence and engage with my audience effectively.
PROSWordPress offers a user-friendly interface and robust tools for creating, editing, and organizing various types of content, including blog posts, pages, and multimedia content.
CONSbeginners may face a slight learning curve, especially when it comes to more advanced customization and plugin management.

WordPress is an intuitive and easy to use platform.
The main argument in favor that I have of its use is its simplicity and ease of use. No deep technical knowledge is required to create a basic website with WordPress. The user interface is intuitive and friendly, allowing users to seamlessly create and manage their sites. There are thousands of themes available in the WordPress library that I use frequently, allowing me to choose from a wide range of styles and layouts. In addition, there are numerous SEO plugins available that help improve optimization even further.
PROSWordPress is an intuitive and easy to use platform, which makes it ideal for beginners or anyone because it is also deep if desired. No programming or web design knowledge is required to easily manage, update and customize the site. As I mentioned, it is highly scalable, which means it can handle everything from small blogs to high-traffic websites with no problem. Also, new functionality and features can be easily added as the site grows.
CONSThe software regularly has updates to fix bugs and improve security, as as an open source platform, WordPress is an attractive target for hackers. However, these updates can be inconvenient and take time and effort to implement. And well, sometimes they can cause compatibility problems or even contain malicious code.

Wordpress saves time and makes updates easy
I spent many years coding websites using html and CSS. Many years ago, when I needed a simple site creating quickly, I discovered CMSs like WordPress and tried a few. The results weren't as polished back then as they are now, but the potential was huge. I continued using WordPress because it was free and well supported, and it is now my first choice when creating a new site.
PROSI love the 'what you see is what you get' editing that Wordpress provides, but like knowing that I can also switch to full html/CSS code editing if I want to.
CONSBecause Wordpress allows almost infinite customisation through plugins, there is the risk of installing a badly written or not well maintained plugin, which could potentially affect your website negatively. Fortunately, plugins have a rating system and show the amount of active users to help with decision making.

Wordpress for your website, ecommerce or what you need to do online
For example, when I have needed a system to only make material available to members, I have been able to build it quite easily with Wordpress. The company's website runs on Wordpress. E-commerce runs with Wordpress and WooCommerce. There are times when a special system works better than a Wordpress site, but the possibilities are great with Wordpress at a reasonable cost.
PROSThe biggest advantage of Wordpress is the open source software that has made it possible for you to find all kinds of building blocks that you could possibly need. You can build a complete e-commerce site for free and you can build a support site for your company without it costing you a penny. The possibilities with Wordpress are practically endless. Its prevalence also makes it easy to find qualified professional help at a reasonable cost.
CONSThe open, free system also means that you are expected to take care of everything yourself - or, hire the knowledge. So the threshold can be high for those who are not used to it, but help is available.
Reason for choosing WordPress
Wordpress is easier to work with and has a better library of free/paid plugins. Save on recurring fees.

Wish is was simpler to use
My overall experience with wordpress is good I still use it for my business, great features but a little to difficult to use especially for someone with little to no knowledge on designing and customizing a website for their business.
PROSThere are great features in Wordpress, the free website is very useful. I used the free and paid plans. I think wordpress for me the free website sometimes comes like a paid website I am still able to reach people, well maybe not as much as the paid website. But it is still very useful.
CONSIt gets a bit complicated to use at times. It took me quite sometime to actually figure out how to use it and I have and still use wordpress for 2 years and no doubt I still have a difficult time using it for my business.
Reason for choosing WordPress
To be honest although wordpress is a bit difficult to understand in the beginning. You are able to reach more people and acquire followers for my blog and I used it for free for quite some time until I decided to purchase one year plans. The free website is great as well I still get visitors and likes on my blog. As for the others that I have tried to use for free for a while it didn't give me the same experience or result I have with wordpress. I'm still learning wordpress and will still choose it over most website builders.

Best choice for a Content Management System nowadays
If used properly, as a classic CMS able to handle "classic" websites, news websites, simple ecommerce websites, Wordpress is the right choice. When things get harder, you would probably prefer to switch to other solutions.
PROSWordpress is broadly used. A massive amount of websites nowadays are based on Wordpress platform. This means you will always find someone able to use its CMS, develop new features for a WP based website, assess issues, etc. This is not true for any other available CMS. The availability of a massive amount of plugins, and the ability to write your own pretty easily is a plus.
CONSYou can't rely solely on Wordpress for complex web projects. Trying to fit a complex web project in a Wordpress platform just because you want to use WP is a very bad choice (and unfortunately it happens quite often). Documentation for developers is not always super clear.

Ease of use, availability of technical resources

They are always quick at fixing any problems that may arise from time to time as well so there aren't many complaints about their service or products other than maybe their customer support not being the best but for everything else they do, WordPress does an excellent job!

WordPress has become a time-tested old friend that never lets you down.
It is a platform that allows anyone to create high-quality websites in a variety of formats using WordPress. The best part about WordPress is the ease of using it once you have mastered the basics and the many options available for creating your website. It is an excellent option for anyone interested in hosting a high-quality website.
PROSWordPress Review is a long-time internet favourite. This easy to use website builder has been powering millions of sites since 2003, and its popularity continues to grow. From blogs and general websites, everyone can jump right in with WordPress. Now, they have tons of different templates you can choose from so that you don't need any prior design skills or tech know-how to make it empowering your brand! It was designed for both simplicity and functionality - everything comes out looking clean and professional, with the power of widgets and plugins at your fingertips.

Share instant feedback on projects without leaving Jetpack while tracking how everything evolves with WordPress installations all around the planet. Now start life 1 click away!
CONSWordPress cannot guarantee a strong site's security on WordPress since it is an open-source product that relies on manual checking and updates from third parties. Hackers have learned how to exploit these vulnerabilities, which means the owner must do regular maintenance, or bad things could happen. Curating content for social media channels can also become a pain due to the lack of custom fields, unlike other platforms - like Drupal, for example. You will either need to manually save each piece of content relatively or scrape data right out of posts using affiliate software. -WordPress sites are not immune to security issues. WordPress has a history of being hacked, so you need to protect your site and use strong passwords. It's good that many plugins are available for you to choose from, but the downside is that some can cause conflicts with other plugins or make it difficult to customize your site due to all the over-the-top features. WordPress isn't built as an enterprise solution, which limits how many posts you can publish in one session per hour. This tends to be more than some of its competitors specialising in larger-scale applications like Drupal and Joomla!
Reason for choosing WordPress
WordPress supports a variety of formats for creating high-quality websites. WordPress is a great platform for creating websites due to how easy it is to use once you have mastered the basics. A good hosting option, it can host high-quality websites.
