To be “inside model” or something, and talk on a pretty narrow set of claims concretely:
I know someone who built a few websites with Wordpress and also uses much cooler, no code apps (and there’s a fair supply of these apps nowadays).
Yeah, Wordpress has been around a long time, and I’m sure it’s clunky. But it also has a large marketplace of help that is available. Also, this person wasn’t an expert and built a WordPress site in about 15 hours, and it looks better than CEA or Open Phil.
In almost all cases, it’s running on some popular website builder such as Squarespace or Wix or WordPress at a regular web hosting company. The upside of these ready-made solutions is mainly that anyone can use them, edit pages, add content, connect them to other services etc. The downside is that they are often highly rigid in what they allow, for example, a web developer to do, which is also a common point of struggle: Organisations outgrow their ready-made website and want to add features that are difficult, or even impossible, to add without access to the backend or the ability to write custom code.
Ok, so this gives the impression that WordPress is for starter websites. While it’s easy to use, it’s pretty limited. It is a tool that a sophisticated org should outgrow.

From the above, it seems like the Walt Disney company, Zillow, TED Blog, BBC America, Blender use WordPress?
