"Just use Wordpress."

No.

Hell no!

Omfg hell no!
This made me cry...

One time I was told to "just use wix, it'll make a full website for our organization"
Fml

I had to create a wordpress theme it was a nightmare

Ah more WordPress hate!

You know what, if alls your client needs is a CMS, why not use it?

I'm still yet to hear a good, valid argument (that isn't just regurgitated answers) on why it shouldn't be used, in a situation where it is acceptable to consider it.

Recently I had to make a big, important and complex website on Wordpress.
3 months after going live my boss told me it already had 1'000'000 visitors!
I'm so glad that it still somehow works...

@PonySlaystation that'd be down to using a good server, nothing really to do with WordPress ;)

I never liked any CMS, but it depends on the clients needs, if they want WP, i give them WP.

What a cry baby, what's with the WordPress hate ? WordPress is fucking easy, it is a nightmare to you? Man you suck! In terms of productivity and deliverying what the customer wants is just fine. The nightmare if you ask me is it's security, everyone attacks a WP site, and is easy to do it, but again that's on you, if you don't take the precautionary measures.

@lumogox I have a love hate relationship with Wordpress.

RE: security, we're so lucky our clients often have static IPs at their offices, so I restrict access to wp-admin in nginx or apache

@ChainsawBaby lots of tricks you can do to make it secure. Not using 'admin' as a username helps :D

Why WordPress 😎

@pabmeister do you use it in production? Its a nightmare, security problens everywere, bots...

@pabmeister indeed, and using something like Wordfence or sucuri helps a lot. It not just protects admin login. But checks if any files has been changed or contains malware code

@jpirovano proof? Seriously, if you take a few steps, WordPress is as secure as any other CMS. And yes, we do use it as one of our platforms.

NOTHING is bullet proof, anything can be and would be hack, WP is a nice an easy tool to deliver a website in a short time. Do you think is profitable to build your own CMS everytime you have a new client? No it's not. I use it on production every time I can, and I take the necessary precautionary measures to protect the site.

We actually only use Wordpress for our clients, as its a well documented platform (user perspective)

Wordpress is shit if you look at all the plugins and themes, as a lot is made by bad developers

No framework or CMS is free of security flaws. But I'm more comfortable using a framework with security baked into the design, nothing like WordPress.
