What do you like best about WordPress.com?

WordPress is an incredibly easy to use and versatile platform that allows myself and other PTSEM members to build and update sites very easily. At Princeton Theological Seminary, we use WordPress to manage and publish content on our main website, thanks to its user-friendly interface. I also am in the process of building out content from a lot of our subsites, which is made way easier through WordPress's extensive use of templates and plugins. The ability to create custom post types, and integrate SEO tools has been especially helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

While WordPress is powerful, and the use of themes can be very helpful, sometimes the rigidity of those themes can end up hamstringing our process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WordPress.com solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I previously mentioned, WP has been very helpful in allowing us to build out updates to the site very quickly. The ease of use makes training other folks on some of the simpler tasks very easy, and all of that leads to a quicker development/update time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It solves the problem of security against cyber attacks, which cannot be said for other website builders, and it solves a wide range of requirements on the consumer market.
