Why I like WordPress:
Many great features, plugins, themes and a great community.
And what I think is so great about it:
It’s easyer than other CMS or Blog-Systems and quite simple to introduce it to clients.
—
It’s such a great and simple system that helps people to realize and enrich the web with their ideas.

I like WordPress, because with the possibility of plugins, I can get every function I want. And second there is a uge user and fan base.

I love WordPress for the massive amount of resources available after 10 years! Plugins, themes, tutorials, documentation, there is no other CMS with so many great resources!
—
great themes ! thx for this

Ich hoffe das geht auch auf Deutsch :) Ich bin mittlerweile ein echter wordpress-junkie geworden. Besonders die leichten responsive designs haben es mir wahnsinnig angetan. Es gibt eine großartige Community, die immer hilft, wenns klemmt, eine Unmenge an fantastischen Themes, schnuckelige PlugIns, tolle Extras.
Die Updates sind einfach durchzuführen, ich könnte noch ewig so weitermachen, wenn ich Zeit hätte. Muss weiter im backend schrauben :)

hope to win..:)

WordPress is the most empowering technology I’ve come across for years. Its changed the way I work as an artist and a designer. Hip hip hooray for WP!

Since I started working with WordPress as a professional blogger and web designer my life has become richer, easier and most fulfilling. Its tools, plugins and design are very constructive and a pleasure to deal with upon a daily basis. On top of it, I enjoy working with the many available themes on the market, both free and premium. Hoping that this content management system will prove to remain successful for a lifelong experience.
Kind regards,
Irene

Hey Ellen, thanks for the giveaway!
I love WordPress because:
– it is well developed,
– it is well documented for the Web developers to create themes and customize the CMS,
– the community is cool and active,
– the SEO is nice, even without plugins,
– it is not only a Blog CMS now, we can (almost) do what we want with,
– the interface is user-friendly.
Greetings from France and keep up the good work!

I love WordPress for the community. We band together and share resources and help each other out. Other CMS can’t hire a team that can match the richness of the WP community.
—
I like WordPress because it gives everyone the chance to create their own diary, magazine or newspaper online and share their thoughts in a simple way. It also gives you a lot of features to customise layout and functions to your taste.
—
I like the big and active community around WordPress…
—
Ich mag WP, weil es unendlich viele Möglichkeiten eröffent.

WordPress is my first choice, because the “is it feasible” question is always “yes”.
I am on wordpress for 9 years now, and i still love it!

WordPress hat sich in den letzten Jahren von einem reinen Blogsystem zu einem wirklich tollen Content Publishing System entwickelt. Während man damals noch belächelt wurde wenn man Seiten mit WordPress erstellte während die “Profis” mit echten CMS wie Joomla, Drupal oder TYPO3 entwickelt haben kann man heute nahezu alle Bereiche professionell abdecken.
Ein Grund für die starke Entwicklung sind Seiten wie auch elmastudio die die Community vorantreiben und neben neuen Denkanstössen und Inspirationen auch handfeste Tipps und Tricks geben so dass auch Quereinsteiger sagenhafte Ergebnisse erzielen können.
Nimmt man nun fertige Templates und Plugins oder läßt seiner Kreativität durch Anpassungen oder Barebone/Framework Templates freien Lauf, man kann sich sicher sein – das Ergebnis weiß zu überzeugen.
Ich freue mich auf viele weitere Neuerungen. Das lernen hört nie auf.

Everyday I work with WordPress, I find out something new, I really like. Great and helpful community too.

Happy birthday WordPress.

WordPress is great, because it just works! :)
—
WordPress, I Love You.
Why?
Because it’s very easy to be a part of this project / community :-) And: It’s easy to use wordpress – it’s easy to administrate wordpress – it’s easy to build up a project and to teach someone how to use wordpress – it’s easy to fix a template in wordpress and you will find for all “stupid” ideas a simple solution (or a guy with a powerfull snippet) ;-)
wordpress. it’s pure fun.

Happy Birthday WordPress!

Hallo Elmastudio,
ich mag WordPress aus vielen Gründen. Zum einen weil die Grundlagen super einfach zu verstehen sind aber man trotzdem unendlich viele Möglichkeiten hat, zum Beispiel sich aus Millionen von Themes eines auszusuchen. Genauso wichtig ist mir aber auch das man sofort Rückmeldung von den Lesern bekommt.
Natürlich darf man auch nicht vergessen dass WordPress kostenlos ist.
Ich würde mich sehr über ein Theme von euch freuen.

WordPress is just a powerful tool. I enjoy to work with it and be able to do nearly everything I want.

I’m celebrating 10 years since I started using WordPress. The original reason why? It had RSS, nobody else did. Now, it’s because it’s the best and fastest way to get a site online without having to resort to a web developer. Here’s to another great 10 years, WP!

WordPress is super easy to install and use. You don’t even have to understand web design or programming to start your own website (though it will be a big plus if you are). Most hosting company even have a feature to automatically install it for you.
You can turn it into whatever website you want it to be, from a simple blog to an eCommerce website.
Huge community and tons of references in case you ever run into trouble and need supports.
—

Halo Elma!
Love your themes!
Wordpress released a flood of creativity when it first showed up! It rewrote the cms-map completely, inspired and gave easy to use, free of charge blog tools for the masses. Ten years later it’s hotter than ever. We love it because it evolves, includes and give people endless possibilities to create and communicate on an open source platform that never stands still.

In fast keinen WordPress-Themes kann man einen so großen Schwerpunkt auf das Wesentliche feststellen, der für einen logischen, kontrastreichen Aufbau und eine unverkennbare Optik sorgt, wie bei denen von ElmaStudio. Zahlreiche Entwürfe für Webseiten, die ich mache, basieren auf Ideen, die ich den ElmaStudio-Wordpress-Themes entnommen habe.
Ich bin schon seit langem auf der Suche nach einem Theme, um endlich einen eigenen Blog zu starten. Die Themes von ElmaStudio eignen sich dafür perfekt. Ein Giveaway kombiniert diese Vorteile in einer einzigartigen Chance.

It’s versatile.

For years I have been enthusiastic about WordPress steady evolution and his huge potential. After installing wp-beta 3.6 and Twentythirteen theme I am convinced that future responsive web-design will get a significative kickoff out of it in the very next future.
I love clean minimalistic themes and for that reason few weeks ago have purchased the Meola theme from you (http://luctime.com)
I keep visiting your site very often since I really like your design style.

I like WordPress because of its simplicity. You can set it up in few minutes and can have a live functioning website in just few minutes. You don’t need to go into heavy coding. If you want something, there’s a huge vibrant community to help you with anything. It provides a rock solid foundation for newbies and can be customized heavily if you are a pro user. It caters to both segments equally well – newbies and pro. This is something you usually don’t see with other CMSes.
