WordPress vs Frontdesk Anywhere Comparison

The ease of use for someone who just wants to sit down and write a blog is phenomenal. I use this program to share research updates and comment on progress in the field. I am not a web developer, but Wordpress makes it pretty easy to post thoughts quickly from one location. I also really enjoy the functionality on the backend.

None yet. It works with mobile devices or desktop so that i can post from anywhere.

It has plenty of design templates to choose from and you can modify them with different color schemes to give your site a unique look and feel. It is easy to add photos and links in the text. The page designs are clean but not too clunky. It is easy to change things if you want to go in a different direction. It was very easy to register my domain and start editing right away. The price is very affordable for personal websites, blogs or if you have a small business and are looking to establish an online presence.

The content management system is a little clunky at first. It took me awhile to figure out how to move pages around on the front page.

WordPress has a community like no other. If you ever have a question on something, almost every time someone else has already encountered the same issue so resolutions are readily accessible. There are sooooo many themes and plug-ins to allow you to set up any type of website you can think up (e-commerce, blog, portfolio, etc.) and always stay up-to-date.

I don't know what's not to like! For 98% of the people out there who aren't looking to spend thousands on a website design, why go anywhere else?

It was a free app and it helps me keep track of all my work and access everything at my fingertips I love it.

The service itself you still need to pay for monthly or yearly I wish it was a one time payment to use word press but I was happy the app itself is free I use it almost hourly.

I love how there are so many plugins that can be added through the WordPress platform. It is always growing and improving.

Some of the features are buried within the menu along the left side and I wish they would be easier to find.

I find Wordpress very easy to use. It offers a lot of ways to customize (I use the Business version) and to make it your own. I've had help from their team and it was very quick and very good. There are a lot of integrations with other programs as well. The cost for the business version is quite good as well.

WP easy cart doesn't seem to work easily. Someone tried to purchase an item and it didn't take them anywhere. I have it set up incorrectly clearly, but it isn't obvious where I have the mistake.

I can edit my bog in my own phone anywhere

Not very details in customization, cost to much to buy more storage space

The easier way to navigate and how easy it is to use it. I like the efficiency and how it is real time

There some bugs that need to be worked in but it does run pretty smoothly. I think that they could have more pluggings that are compatible to what i do in our business market.

I have my blog on WordPress for more than 2 years, and so far my blog is accessible everywhere in the world. Their hosting is very good and customizing your blog is easy on WordPress.

It's just that the price of accommodation is a bit too expensive for me

Very Customizable, lots of plugins that can accomplish ALMOST anything.

Can take up a lot of disk space, needs a bit of a learning curve, and attention to security.

There is unlimited functionality and potential. I can't imagine being limited in what my sites can do and offer. I can have one site that streams my Podcasts, one that is the face of one business with the store, marketing, relationship nurturing content; a site for my members only. Seriously the ability to customize and adapt a website to fit anyone's needs in limitless with Wordpress.

There is a level of maintenance that is required in running a wordpress site to make sure that updates don't create conflicts in plugins, themes, etc. But overall, if cared for and maintained properly, there isn't a lot of cons here.

You can easily setup any website and update it from anywhere. It is easy to install and maintain as well.

It could be challenging as the number of sites grow to several thousands. Sometimes plugins can break the application too.

I used Wordpress to design my website, with no coding experience.I had my blog up and running and only had to ask a few questions from a friend who is a website developer. There are a wide variety of templates to choose from and they are customisable so that even the original template will not be similar to the one you would have designated and even anyone else chooses the same template it will be different from yours. It also has tutorials and videos to assist.

Some themes will have the name of the theme at the end of the page so its boring to have another signature name on your page. The mobile version has few options when editing the website.

What I like the most about WordPress is the fact that you can customize your site or blog just as you need it with so much flexibility and great themes available.

I feel like the option to add Google ads should be included with the Premium package because it's already quite expensive for lower income countries.

The ease of use is the best part about WordPress. We use it for our work platform, and it's easily accessible to all of us from anywhere. As the blog writer, I love the publishing tips and functions.

Nothing so far. It's been superior for our needs.

I like that there are lots of add on options and the ability to use and manage webpages from anywhere in the world.

There seems to be security flaws on every single version. I had one site hacked because Wordpress was not updated to the latest version. Wordpress needs to figure this out.

Software is very easy to use and administer among a team. Could use some easier transitions when trying to transfer ownership of account; however, the rest is very easy to use and easy for our students!

Not easy to transfer ownership of account if someone leaves the company. This is probably the worst part of the account ownership process.

WordPress is the leader in CMS and I have been runing WordPress in all my sites and my client's sites as well. The unlimited functionality and customisation features make it the preferred choice. It is highly recommended to anyone who wants to start a blog or website.

Sometimes some bugs can make things bad. For persons with no coding knowledge the bugs can be very hard to deal with.

WordPress is very easy to use. The feature I like the most is that whenever I add new content to WordPress or make updates/changes - those updates are made immediately and I can see those changes on our website. In other instances, I will make changes and it may take several hours in order to see the changes on a webpage or blog post. I appreciate the immediate gratification of being able to see the updates immediately.

Sometimes there are so many tabs of different options on WordPress I can get bogged down in where certain pages are. On my account homepage on WordPress, it might be easier if there was an overall "Search" button where I can search anywhere throughout all my tabs and sections if I am looking for something in particular.

They have a lot of built-in templates to start with. I was surprised to see how easy it was to set up a webpage. There are a lot of plugins which reduces the workload. You can easily find a lot of help online.

As a beginner I found it quite easy to start with, quick, easy and fast. No complains.

Easy for most users to set up. Plugins are very easy to find and install. The editor is one of the best I've seen for people with no coding skills. Handles SEO well.

One of my biggest problems with WordPress is there is no organization to 3rd Party plugins. When you install them, it's a guessing game where it's located. Could be in Tools, could be in the root menu, could be anywhere really. Menu management is awful. Without a third-party plugin, you are stuck with the basic access levels.

WordPress makes it easy to create a website and this allows you to have a certain mobile and to have access to the software anywhere in the world

You just have to be careful from updates regularly to avoid hackers

So many templates to use - both free and purchased Can be hosted pretty much anywhere (we use GoDaddy) Can make a nice looking site without much web experience

There really isn't a con, you can do something simple for free with a bit of tech know-how or you can go all out and buy a template and hire out someone to make your site truly unique. It's all about how much you want to put into it.

It's free. No subscription or license required. Create a website in minutes with an SEO-optimized page, access your website settings from anywhere, customize the layout and that's it.

As it is open source and free, there are disadvantages when using it such as lack of security (constantly attacked by hackers), lack of support, vulnerability in free themes.

WordPress is a useful, powerful tool for creating a web presence. The concept is simple enough, but with so many plug ins and themes it does take some time to learn the full potential. Knowing what a program like WordPress is abstracting under the hood makes it pretty amazing it is as easy to learn as it is. There are tons of free and paid themes that have their own quirks, then there are tons of plug ins, as well. Overall, it is a very vital piece of my business. There are now even easier tools that abstract even more of the web site building details, but I like having the control that WordPress affords.

There isn't a lot not to like. Yes, there is a learning curve to getting sites off the ground, but they can be hosted anywhere and you have a ton of flexibility. WordPress is a mature enough tool that there is a lot of information about how to use it out there, which in itself can be a bit overwhelming. Overall, the Pros far outweigh the Cons.
