“Creating Websites Made Simple with User-Friendly Interface and Numerous Plugins”

May 13, 2025

It is a great tool for hosting websites and it is also very easy to create websites using this tool. I feel it is user friendly and has a good user interface. We have multiple plugins which make our task easy like woo-commerce, 2 factor authentication etc., which I feel is a very good feature because these helped me create websites with good features. Sometimes updates and plugins are a bit frustrating but overall it is a good tool.

I value WordPress flexibility and ecosystem above all else. It's open-source, having a vast library of plugins and themes. It's free, with abundant documentation and tutorials, and thousands of developers maintain high-quality plugins.

The thing I like the most about this tool is the numerous plugins it has, so we already have the features and don't have to start from scratch. It is also very easy to use and customisable.

The main challenges are security, ongoing maintenance, and plugin and theme compatibility issues when new major core updates are available.

Read Full Review

What I dislike about WordPress is that sometimes the plugins are very costly and also the updates and plugins management is a bit tiring. I have seen that any updates or configuring multiple plugins will lead to unexpected issues. I also feel that dealing with security and backups is challenging without extra help and paid tools.

Security could be improved. But overall, the tool is easy to use and exceptionally good for building a website.

CIO

For all those who are using WordPress with a sitebuilder... I have a polarizing question: Bricks or Divi (and why)?

IT Manager

Both are great but my preference is Divi for several reasons: I believe it is embracing more modern Web technologies, it is more user friendly and the UI very easy and simple to work with, and as far as I read around it generates more efficient code.
