    Is Wordpress a lazy way of building a site/blog ?

    Besides being lazy, what are the advantages of using Wordpress over coding a site on your own?

          advantages
          - plugins - lots of those that will help you modify WP into whatever you like
          - themes - lots of free themes - lots of cheap and nice looking paid ones too
          - maintained open source code
          - can be very secure applying a few tricks
          - easy to maintain and upgrade...
          - easy to backup (especially with wordpress to dropbox plugin)

          so in general it's GREAT platform and def. my favorite one...
          I have great experience with WP and I really like working in WP...
          If there's no need - don't develop anything custom - you're just wasting time and money...

                  I agree totally with the above responders

                  Pretty simple logic, WP is a clean mean operating machine.

                          There's a massive eco-system around WP that most people can benefit from.

                          It's just a damn shame the code is so bad and written in PHP.
                          I'm out.

                              There is no money in WP sites. Move on

                                  maybe because it breaks down the barrier for millions of people to setup a blog who don't know how to code

                                      You can spend weeks coding your own system and at the end of the day you'll have a website... With no tools. You can spend a week or a month coding the same thing with half of the options, and in ten minutes I can have a wordpress blog up and running with all of the bells and whistles....

                                      Call it cheap, call it lazy, or call it productive - your choice.

                                      It's nice having one system that everyone uses. People make plugins that are great and hand them out for free. Anything I need, someone has thought of it already. Why code stuff if you don't have to?
