Freelance Writer Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Must For Bloggers" September 23, 2018 5.0 Wordpress is a primary feature of all of my online businesses for good reason. Pros Wordpress is a top-tier online solution for blogging in 2018. Without Wordpress, building an online media site would have been a nightmare. At risk of needing to learn to code or employ a team of professionals to design a solution for me, I might have just given up. Now, I've been using Wordpress to establish and maintain multiple blogs across different niches. - I particularly love the freedom of customization and the ability to purchase themes - There is a fantastic range of add-ons and plugins available to users - I can't think of a faster and easier way to publish great content online Cons I've never felt like Wordpress was missing anything in particular. I mean, there are difficulties when it comes to customizing particular themes and designs, but that's a natural result of my inability to code using HTML and CSS. If I need something done, I can employ someone to do it. Review Source BS Bernadette S. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Honest review of Wordpress" September 9, 2021 4.0 Overall I find WordPress easy to build a blog and website with. I have both and it's hard to find an alternative that provides so many good features. Pros The features of WordPress I like the most are the available plug-ins and themes available for blogging. I found the integrations I needed to run my marketing business easily in the plug in area. Also, I like to change the theme every few months to keep my blog fresh. I like the many different themes to choose from. Also the automatic updates to the newest versions of themes and plug-ins makes my blog accessible on the internet without getting lost. Their set plug-in from Yoast has been very helpful in improving my seo. Cons The least liked feature of WordPress is the lack of font availability in most of the themes. I feel that by now with so many features on the internet and all the technology advances, WordPress should have a larger package of available fonts in the themes area. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) I switched from Wix to WordPress because I found their features very limited. Wix may be free but they do not have the settings, plug-ins, features and variety of themes available. My blog is much more attractive because of WordPress. Review Source Arin W. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Ultimate CMS" May 8, 2019 5.0 There should be no need to use any other CMS when you've got WordPress. We've created e-commerce sites, LMS sites, directories, download databases and simple run of the mills all with WordPress. Pros Honestly, everything about WordPress is awesome. As a web developer, I don't use anything else. Because it's open source, it's free to get started, and once you have an extended licence for a high quality theme you're really spending pennies to build a bespoke website. WordPress is incredibly easy to use - a 40 minute training session is more than enough for the majority of my clients - and functionality wise, there's essentially nothing you can't do, as the open source nature means there's a plugin for every feasible scenario. Cons I find that many clients are a bit scared to begin with because it feels like a space that novices shouldn't enter. They're more accustomed to the tacky builders that charge a fortune. Once they've been trained on the platform though, they never look back. Review Source JW John W. Associate Pastor of Youth and Music Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Platform, Particularly for Bloggers" April 8, 2024 5.0 I've used WordPress since 2011. It's my recommended site for bloggers. I've been able to share content with nearly every country in the world and compile thousands of readers every year, which is incredible. Pros The posting is extremely simple to master, which helps bloggers and website administrators run their content with ease. Cons I suppose some more template options would be nice. Reason for choosing WordPress The price was right and the options included everything I needed. Review Source Bhuvnesh B. Founder and CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best CMS for creating your Business Online" April 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Best features are easy to maintain every task in one platform. Cons Best part is easy to install and create your Blog. Review Source CB Charlene B. Owner Information Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPress Still Rocks For Starter Sites" November 19, 2019 5.0 I have an ecommerce site, multiple information sites, and have been using it since 2008 to build customer sites. Both the self-hosted and the .com versions are excellent for starter sites. Until 2018 I would have said that the self-hosted is the best option for any type of site. But, with recent core changes and reliance on Gutenberg for editing, I've noticed that all of my sites need to be updated weekly when it used to be a monthly thing to update. So, while I recommend it I do so with a word of caution to the person new to it. If you plan to have a complicated site, it may not be the best site to start with at the moment. Maybe in a year. If you plan to have a simple site of 10 pages and focused mainly as a blog, then it is a good way to build your site. Pros Easy to set up and get an informational site operational quickly. A basic blog takes 10 minutes, a site with 5 pages and an optin form takes 2 hours. Cons The recent changes to Gutenberg and core updates are making it less user friendly than it could be. Reason for choosing WordPress Ease of use and self-hosted because the sites are business assets and I believe those should be owned. I can easily move my sites to another hosting account, download WordPress and be done. I can easily move a WordPress.com site to a self-hosted site. I own my content, I can change out functionalities in a reasonably easy way, and in most cases I can have a full information site up and running in less than 24 hours. Review Source TR Tasha R. Digital Marketing Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Website Builder For Your Brand" August 4, 2022 4.0 WordPress has allowed me to create a professional-looking website without having to hire a developer, and I am very grateful for that. Pros WordPress is the best website builder hands down. With endless plugins to help any business customize it to suit their needs and brand, there's simply no comparison. WordPress is user-friendly, easy to use, and extremely versatile. You can create any type of website you can imagine with WordPress, from a simple blog to a complex eCommerce site. And because WordPress is open source, there are no limits to what you can do with it. If you can dream it, you can build it with WordPress. Cons The continuous headache of updating plugins Review Source VR Verified Reviewer General Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A must have tool for website creation & management. Not suitable for everything, but easy for a lot!" February 13, 2018 4.0 Pros A very quick way to launch a website for free with a great variety of themes to choose from, many of which set the standard for contemporary design (or at least, follow the standard, if not setting it) including early adoption of responsive design. Plugins can do what a custom developer would take weeks to learn - they draw on the collective knowledge of the plugin developers, and that can be a real boon. Cons The world's most popular open source website platform is prone to exploits and requires daily patching for security. We have seen sites hacked, and then the owner contacted by Federal Police because of harbouring terrorist propaganda (unknowingly on their hacked website). We have to insist on the use of automated updates for the safety of our clients (and ourselves). While specific themes make it easier (or harder) the average person, even a savvy business person, can find it difficult to manage their site with WordPress, let alone set it up, or get specific and detailed about the presentation of it. There's not much you can't do with WordPress, but it is limited by the quality of the plugins, and I don't think there's enough vetting and rating of the quality of plugins. One has been installed without the admin's permission and penetration software hidden in it... it's hard to tell who or what went wrong, but plugin integrity would be a first good step. Speed can be an issue depending on which theme you select, and while there's a myriad of caching plugins, they often introduce their own problems. Hopefully Google's recent announcement of assistance to WordPress engineers will speed things up. Review Source SE Souder E. Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Beautiful customizable websites at your fingertips" January 28, 2021 5.0 I am thrilled to have such a beautiful web presence that represents my business and what we do as I continue building the brand and the messages at such affordable prices that aren't going to bust me in my first year as a founder of a new company. Pros I LOVE the variety of layout options and plug-ins. I understand that the version I am using is a big improvement over earlier ones so I am super excited to have a product that is evolving and will be easier and easier for me to use. I appreciate the guidance and advice that is built into the tools. I love the variety of layouts and optional add-ons that are easy to add and customize them to create my vision. The reporting has also been very helpful as I figure out which parts of my site are visited most frequently and which aren't so that I can improve those that aren't and leverage those that are. Cons I am not afraid of technology even though I didn't grow up with it. I have struggled from time to time with certain features or bugs that I ended up having to send to my developer friend to ultimately solve. Unfortunately, the more obvious they seem to be for me to solve, the harder they are. For instance, one of my images refused to fit into the space I designed for all my images and every time is slid across the screen, it overtook the entire screen. I tried multiple ways to fix it on my own and eventually had to ask an expert to help. So, things are not entirely as intuitive as they might appear.

Pros Easy to use, affordable, Active Community. What else you need more when it comes to blogging solution! Cons There is nothing you won't like about WordPress. Alternatives considered [Joomla](https://www.capterra.com/p/161648/Joomla/) Reason for choosing WordPress Because WordPress is leader in the industry at the moment. Switched from [Drupal](https://www.capterra.com/p/119594/Drupal/) Due to better support available. Review Source Mohamed O. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress is the best CMS i've ever used" August 22, 2019 5.0 I'm using WordPress for more than 8 years now, it really helps you to achieve your goals while developing any form of websites. Pros Wordpress is Easy to use for developers, webmasters and users as well, it helps you to easily empelement websites in every niche. Cons You need to have a very good coding skills to write a fast loading, full functioning and good looking website using WordPress.

It has some flaws, but it definitely gets the job done and you can create a completely unique site with it. The biggest down-side is being forced to install a lot of different plug-ins and integrate other platforms to get some basic features; it would be great if those features were native to WordPress itself. Pros WordPress creates high-quality sites that look great. It also allows for a lot of different plug-ins and integrations which create a ton of options; however, these plug-ins and integrations are necessary for some customization, which can be frustrating. Cons While the ability to add plug-ins and integrations is great, the fact that some are necessary for the product to work as desired is frustrating. Having to keep up with a ton of different installs and updates is annoying, and sometimes a plug-in's update will cause havoc on the site. They're great to have a ton of options and features, but sometimes they're necessary evils just to get the features you want. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Designer & Photographer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'm never going back!" February 9, 2021 5.0 I love having the freedom to build my site exactly how I envision it, while still being able to use Wordpress's user-friendly backend WYSIWYG editor, and plugging in pieces from the millions of coders, creators, and fellow users. Pros I learned to create websites from scratch in Dreamweaver, which is cool but often an unnecessary amount of work for what you're trying to make. Then tried using subscription/ software that gives you themes and lets you fill them in, which is easy but also a pain and impossible to fully customize. Wordpress is the perfect spot in the middle - you can start with a theme and customize (or not) as much as you need! You actually have full control over your site without having to make everything yourself from scratch. This is how it should be. Cons It can be intimidating and frustrating- it's still web design. Things don't always play together nicely, especially when piecing elements together from different sources. But the reward of getting what you want in the end is worth the effort. And support is almost always out there on a message board somewhere if you really need it. Review Source CP Chase P. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect Tools for Building a Website Without Coding Skills" May 28, 2019 5.0 We have been very happy with WordPress for our use. We are a small organization and don't have any coding skills, so we needed something that we could use, update, manage without a lot of prior knowledge. We've had to make a lot of changes to Wordpress in order to keep is secure, and Wordpress is making large strides to help simplify this. Pros Wordpress was very simple to set up and get going. There are a lot of great templates to get started and lots of great plugins to use. Without any coding skills, we were able to get a fully functioning website up and running in a matter of hours, rather than days, months, or years. Cons There is a lot of maintenance and when you need to start customizing things beyond what your template or plugins are able to do for you, it can be really difficult. Wordpress was obviously created as a blogging platform, but has widely been used as a web designer. It is pretty clear that there are limitations when it comes to using Wordpress as a full website. Alternatives considered [Drupal](https://www.capterra.com/p/119594/Drupal/) Reason for choosing WordPress WordPress was far simpler to use than any other platform we were able to look at. Plus being able to host Wordpress on our own servers (through Wordpress.org) for free was a huge benefit. Review Source Gabriela R.

My site has had so many engagement lately because of this site. It is super easy to send/share someone the link to my site. I love this site and will continue using it! Pros What I love about WordPress is that it is super easy to use and the feature I love the most is that there are thousands of Plugins that are free and allow you to customize and enhance your WordPress site. If there are any changes that you need to make to make to your site it is always so easy, which I love how simple yet amazing this software is! I highly recommend this to everyone! Cons One feature that can be a little intimidated is that it is your site, so any secure is all up to you! Of course if there is anything major involved customer service is always so helpful. One thing you need to keep in mind it is your business as it should be, which you should always make sure everything on your hand is always up to date. I highly recommend this site even then!

It's easy to edit and create content posts and is Web pages. Cons It's very complicated to get started. I wouldn't do it by myself. I hired a team to get the website started and whenever I want to add content I have a team start off the design and wireframe of the page while I create and design the content. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) I needed a more customizable professional web page. Review Source John N.

Dad E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Word up to WordPress!" February 26, 2019 5.0 Quick and easy access to the web with terrific themes and affordability. Pros I like to think I'm super tech-savvy. I roll into Starbucks with my iPhone 5 and wireless Beats and I feel pretty cool. The truth is, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to websites. I can't program and I can't code. I'm not even sure what those things mean. WordPress is my best tech friend. In about 20 minutes I was able to put up a website for my daughter's jog-a-thon so members of the family and friends out of the area could participate. I did this by myself. Seriously. It's up and running right now. Themes? WordPress has a ton. I'm picky. I may not know what I'm doing but that doesn't mean I don't want my site to look good. WordPress had a TON of free themes from which to choose. With a little bit of help I was able to add a payment portal to the site so friends and family could contribute to the cause. It was pretty easy but I didn't want to screw it up. Next time I can do it myself, easily. One of the coolest things about using WordPress is the Support Community. I was able to ask questions in real-time and talk to other newbies about their experience putting sites together. It was really empowering to have that at my fingertips. I also loved how mobile-friendly WordPress is. I like to work off my phone. While I set up the site on my Mac I utilize it and check in on my phone. It looks great on my mobile and people have said how easy it is to contribute right from their phones. Give WordPress a try next time you need to throw a site up in a hurry! Cons Nothing. So user friendly and convenient. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager of Web Communications and Online Marketing Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The web runs on WordPress and you should too!" March 26, 2019 5.0 Pros WordPress is THE giant of content management systems, accounting for more than something like 25% of all websites. The .org version is free while the .com version is a freemium hosted service. I've specialized in the open-source .org version for about a decade now and I can say without a doubt that WordPress is extremely powerful. Due to the size of the community behind it, you can achieve almost anything via WordPress - but it certainly comes with challenges. See Cons for more :) Cons So the biggest issue with WordPress is its own success. Because it's so huge, there are some many people developing bad software for it and malicious software is always targeting issues. As such, maintaining and keeping everything running smoothly for a novice can be overwhelming, or frustrating for those that aren't used to WordPress. If you aren't careful with plugins and themes, you can quickly build a bloated, slow, insecure dumpster fire. Review Source JW Janet W. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quantum leap " April 1, 2024 5.0 Pros The evolution of Blocks format has brought WordPress up to the expectations set out early in my experience: great looking websites with ease of use. The functionality is there without need to purchase templates for a non-coder (though basic coding skill is very helpful). Cons Early in my use of WordPress, training was very piecemeal, and I missed some important factors that would have prevented security problems.

You can go prof with it, if you really need to or use additional addons that will help you. Pros I like the part that you can use different add-ons, themes, etc, that all suit your needs. But at the same time, you can go and dig in and change something yourself if you really need to. But there are a lot of addons that will help without going into the source code. Cons The addons are not filtered according to whether they are free, basic use is free or entire use is not free. There are addons that are ad based free, others are completely free. Some filtering (additional) would be nice. Switched from [Joomla](https://www.capterra.com/p/161648/Joomla/) Just wanted to try different things out.
