One of the Best Content Management System

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress is Custom CMS Service Provider which makes it different from other Software like Wix, Squarespace, etc. Full Customisation of Website and eCommerce Store. Access to all the files on your hand, unlike other CMS tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

1) WordPress allows to set up an eCommerce Store very easily and totally free. 2) WordPress supports tons of themes that provide custom designs and Content Management systems. 3) It allows you to customize your theme on a high level where you can access all the additional features. 4) Plugin Support is an Awesome feature that WordPress provides to every single user.

What do you dislike most about this product?

1) As WordPress is a custom platform. So, Sometimes it is very difficult to understand for a person who is from a non-IT industry. 2) Plugins are free but to access all the features you need to upgrade the plugin by paying to Plugin Vendor. 3) Not all free plugins are trustworthy. Sometimes they messed up your website. 4) Upgrading WordPress is a little bit messy task for a normal user. 5) WordPress is an open-source platform. So, your website can be hacked at any time if you are not using a secure server and SSL certificate.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

WordPress does have some cons but it is still a very good platform to start your website and an eCommerce store. So, I will definitely recommend WordPress to people.

Management system and blog publishing website tool

9 /10

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress.com provides me the ease of use because backed code is way easier to understand for users and it provides me search engine enhancement.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We can have control of your site easily because for every update I do not need to concern my website developer we make our updates; all the controls are in my hands. As it is a blogging platform so it helps me to make your site more idolize and allow you all settings to use those are built in such as commenting.

What do you dislike most about this product?

In WordPress.com hacking chances are high because of its open-source platform and you are provided with limited templates. There are limitations in designing your website look. As it is running on the server so needs more resources than a single web page so often it is very slow.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It provides an interface to the website owner to manage their content database easily that is named as a dashboard in the application. You do not need any HTML editing or any file transfer protocols required for it because all it has it's built-in functionality. You can manage it from any kind of computer no specialty needed because it is a browser-based application you just need an internet connection to log into it easily so it can be accessed from any type of device. You only need two components to work on your own server: one is PHP because word press is written in PHP language and you need MYSQL for database purposes.

Pros

  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
  • Effective Service
