Wordpress is the best CMS for websites. Period.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?
There is no other CMS like Wordpress. Wordpress is highly and well supported by a community of web designers and third party plugin/theme creators. There is a reason 35% of the internet is built on this platform.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The ease of use and ability to customize.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Maybe you could say that to build a good website, you almost need to use some third-party tools. But that is also what is amazing about Wordpress.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
You need to know what you are doing to build and maintain a website. It is easy to learn, but if you don't know what you are doing, you can easily kill the whole website. I always recommend, if you don't know what you are doing, hire a professional. Especially when it comes to maintenance (backups, security, core/theme/plugin updates).
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
