‘The main reason why I use WordPress is because of its flexibility.

WordPress is fairly easy to setup and flexible enough for majority of use cases.’ – Syed Balkhi, Founder of WPBeginner
‘It’s easy to set up, and it has a great community of folks using and developing for it. Plus, we had the Moz blog on a home-grown platform and I wanted to experiment with WordPress given its popularity.’
‘I’ve never had a problem with it or a reason to migrate to another service, so it’s mostly inertia and customer satisfaction that keeps me on.’
‘I need to be up-to-speed with what’s popular in the web publishing/marketing world and WordPress is certainly one of those, so it makes sense for me to embrace and use so I can be empathetic and helpful to others who do.’ – Rand Fishkin, Founder of Moz
‘The community of developers and people using WordPress is growing exponentially. The number of high-traffic sites using it is also growing. For these reasons I feel very comfortable putting my trust into that platform.‘ Brian Gardner, Partner at Copyblogger Media
