### "WordPress is great for artists, start ups and building a portfolio"

July 8, 2019

5.0

Pros

WordPress is one of the oldest platforms for blogging but also cheap website tools. WordPress is very user friendly, though I'll admit that I almost grew up with WordPress (I was a teenager when first introduced) and I had tinkered with similar sites in the early 2000s so it comes very second nature to me, but I've helped friends and family members navigate it and people who are not tech savvy can pick things up pretty quickly. There's a lot of tutorials and videos on Youtube. I'd be careful though since WordPress has gone through some updates so some tutorials may be outdated. WordPress its self has a lot of helpful tutorials too. There are some easier sites, like if you just want a blog, Blogger is pretty good and Medium is really blowing up or even Tumblr if you are image based, and they are much easier to navigate, especially for newer people to these types of platforms. WordPress offers a lot more customization though and a very easy and affordable method to go from a free WordPress to a personalized '.com', '.org', and '.edu'. I really enjoy this. I like how WordPress has really grown with the times and offers a lot of features, even for just the free version. WordPress is great at both an entry point and for people who want to build sites from scratch. I use mine for a gaming related blog and a blog on art and the community that builds from this platform is very rich. After about 20 posts, I started to get a lot of hits and followers :)

Cons

Changing themes can sometimes really through stuff off. I've had to redo some pages and external links because my tools got messed up after changing a theme.

### "WordPress review"

March 13, 2020

5.0

Pros

The user interface and experience is both flexible and satisfactory, WordPress is the best content management system on the internet and it is suprisingly free to use, it comes with thousands of free themes templates and plugins to help its functionality, you can use WordPress from just creating an online portfolio to greater task like social connections and online community, WordPress has its support website or forum where you get to learn about how to use WordPress for anything, I like this platform so much because it is free to use forever, doesn't take time to install or set up. I've been using WordPress for years now... And i like almost everything about it, plus the bugs are fixed in it to protect your website from attackers and malware's.

Cons

Although WordPress is fast, but it's main code is the php and this slows website due to the weight, apart from this... I'm good with wp.

### "the best CMS. "

May 15, 2018

4.0

Ideal to handle a unique page design, excellent responsive handling without much fuss. Due to the flexibility, I do not have to insist on whether it is suitable for most customers.

Pros

Wordpress is easy to use, it has so much functionality and integration with many services or other platforms that it becomes a complete tool to be used, I like how many themes and add-ons already exist, which makes it possible to create a website without needing to know everything there is to know about coding. WordPress also allows to locate the information in chronological order, which is beneficial for those who evaluate the content of the website, since it facilitates the audit. The management of this platform is simple and for beginners it is ideal because it does not deserve so much technical knowledge to carry out the objectives, i also love that WordPress provides a good preview option, so you can see your work before publishing it for the world to see. It's a good and powerful combination of features.

Cons

Visual changes are sometimes blocked in a more complex coding language such as PHP, which can be difficult to work for someone with a limited amount of coding knowledge. Many of the widgets do not work or they will slow down the site, so there is some trial and error there.

### "generally positive. I was able to create and run professional looking blogs in very little time"

May 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ease of use: Its very easy to set up a hosted blog. Something that's very helpful for a new person. I've also used to paid version of WordPress and the experience was quite positive. Migrating from a free to a paid WordPress blog was is also quite seamless I love that the blogs look so professionally done meaning that a person without an IT background can run and manage a very nice website. The plugins are also a godsend. Normal site management requires one to almost be an IT and marketing genius but the plugins really take away the headache involved with things like SEO, Security, UI design, digital marketing etc, allowing one to concentrate on what is really important - the content.

Cons

The customer care isn't very helpful especially for newbies. I had a really hard time looking for help in the forums. More often than not, I was left to figure it out myself and/or look for a plugin. I just wish that one could get better help in the forums The free WordPress blogs could use more features and greater level of customization than is currently available. They should improve page load speeds or give users more control over such things I would really love to see a larger number of themes especially for the free sites

### "Extremely customizable design, features, and functionalities. "

October 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like WordPress because it's easy to use, it has a lot of great features and the design is customizable. It's the most popular website builder on the web and it's one of the best options for creating a website. The great thing about WordPress is that you have complete control over the design and features of your website. It's used by some of the biggest companies in the world, And the best part? It's free. WordPress has a massive community of developers and designers working to create thousands of plugins and themes that you can easily add to your site. There are also tons of amazing SEO plugins that will help your site rank higher in search engines.

Cons

You will need coding knowledge to manage and troubleshoot issues with WordPress.

### "WordPress Continues to Lead..."

February 15, 2019

5.0

WordPress is WordPress (WP) continues to lead the pack in the CMS space. It's easy to use, flexible, scalable...and free! Though not perfect for every application or use case, WP is by far the best for content driven websites and custom solutions and features can be nearly limitless.

Pros

1\. Works wonderfully for small-medium-large businesses alike. 2. Best content driven website CMS. 3. Most customizable (aside from custom HTML I suppose). 4. Largest community of supporters. 5. Limitless plugins and developers reduces the need to create custom code for already-solved solutions. 6. FREE. 7. Continues to be improved regularly by its parent company.

Cons

1\. Not always the best solution, for ecommerce builds specifically. There are solutions that can work in WP, though at a certain point other solutions are better suited for ecommerce depending on your needs. 2. May be falling behind in terms of user friendliness on the editing side (ie - not drag and drop).

### "Wordpress is reliable platform for website building"

September 17, 2018

5.0

I use Wordpress exclusively with clients who want me to host, design and develop their website. Wordpress is constantly being improved, it's reliable and is easier to customize with the latest Wordpress updates. Where I used to have to make changes using html and php code, now Wordpress has a Customizer and there are additional plugins that can be used for further refinements and customizability.

Pros

Wordpress developers are constantly working behind the scenes to keep their website platform up-to-date and secure. In addition there are many independent developers who produce plugins that make Wordpress easy to customize. Because Wordpress links seamlessly with social media my client's blog content gets pushed automatically to their social media pages thereby saving them from having to repost everywhere.

Cons

While you can set up Wordpress to auto-update many of the Wordpress plugins are not set up that way and some routine maintenance is required once a website is up and running.

### "Best website builder"

September 23, 2021

5.0

Always a joy using WordPress, I recommend all my clients use them.

Pros

I have used WordPress in my personal capacity, for freelance clients, and as part of an administrator for a large national org and there is no better program. If you've never built a website before they make it super easy with templates, if you have lots of web design experience, you can customize the heck out of things. I love it.

Cons

Sometimes I do find myself in a bit of a plugin rabbit hole as I am mostly a self-taught web designer but WordPress support is always more than helpful if I run into an issue.

October 26, 2021

4.0

I been using Wordpress more than 5 years and it had been one of the choices I have made in terms of marketing my small business. WordPress is FREE to install and wide variety of professional themes.

Pros

I absolutely love the huge library of themes you can use to enhance you blog or website. It’s also perfect for blogging as it easy to add contents and edit pages.

Cons

The only issue i think Wordpress should look into Is to make it easy for the users to customise the page layout.

Pros

Best thing is that whatever you need is out there in plugins and you can customize anything. Add long as you have a competent developer you can do anything with a WordPress site

Cons

### "All about the best blogging platform "

February 9, 2019

5.0

Wordpress is the best platform to building a new websites, anyone can use the platform without any problems.really, I am very satisfied with wordpress.

Pros

Hello, I'm a web designer & developer, I've been starting to use Wordpress in 2012, now I have many experiences in Wordpress platform, it is the best platform using to building new websites without any difficulty. One of the things I like about the WordPress platform is ease of use, for anyone who does not know anything about web development can use Wordpress without any problems. A lot of professional and amateur developers use Wordpress platform because it's very sample and easy. By using the Wordpress platform, you can create a blog that is completely professional with your favorite colors; you can insert pictures and videos, and control the color and size of the text of any way you like.

Cons

One of the worst things about the Wordpress platform is the hackers' interest in this platform, because it is the most used platform in the world, as well as being open source and thus the blog is more vulnerable to attacks by hackers. In addition of the process of updating Wordpress can be difficult, If your site has many of plugins on your site, because You are forced to update the plugins one by one every week.

### "Wordpress is the industry standard"

May 2, 2019

4.0

My overall experience is good with Wordpress. But if you are VERY non-techy, you will have a steep learning curve.

Pros

Seemingly to be the most popular platform for blogging, Wordpress is easy to upload my images and other media. I also love that it has an app that I can use when I'm on the go. I like that I can customize a lot of features, and the choice of free themes is pretty decent (which I used for 7 years). The choice of plugins is endless too, so I can even customize my experience more.

Cons

Some of the organization can be confusing, especially when it comes to how plugins integrate with Wordpress. In general, there's a huge learning curve in the beginning as to how to change themes, etc. I wish there were a handy HELP button always available on the side. I also believe that Wordpress is prone to malware - one of my websites was hacked right away, so I had to fork up $200 to get it cleaned up by Sucuri.

### "Best Value for Quality Websites and Hosting"

September 25, 2018

5.0

I used Wordpress years ago for a blog, and loved the platform. But then tried other site builders for a bit, until finding my way back to Wordpress with my agency. I was happy with the software for the price and the more I got used to the new look and feel the more comfortable it all became...really took me back to my days with my blog.

Pros

Beautiful website builder and reliable hosting. I switched my agency site to Wordpress two years ago and have been impressed with the site speed, customization and cost. As I dig more into the back-end I'm finding other ways to customize my site and maximize the Wordpress platform. Using a nice parrallax theme that looks very professional and eye-catching. Though still easy to use for the user.

Cons

Since Wordpress had changed a lot in my time away from the platform, it took me a while to find my way around. Though I like having the easy editor and the full editor, I feel like it adds confusion that doesn't need to be there.

### "If you want to grow your business. , Having a WordPress site is must. "

May 16, 2019

5.0

For the longest time I wanted to build a website, and I finally did, all thanks to WordPress and its easier process. I always delayed the website creation coz I thought It was difficult but all I have to do is download a zip file from there official website and one or two easy processes and then start designing your website. In WordPress, you can set up a website for your business or for a personal blog. You can build your website from scratch or get one of the templates. There are Infinite no of themes available. Also, there are infinite no of plugins to build your site, to design your site, to make your website fast, to make your website unique. There are plugins for every freaking thing that you need help with. I started my Travel Blog that I always wanted and WordPress was a big help for that. Writing a blog is easy as there is already template build to write i.e You just have to add the title and start writing in the description box given. You can also save a draft and come back to continue your writing. One of the great thing about using WordPress is you don't have to create sitemap as one of the plugins in WordPress does it for you. Also when you have to write meta description, meta title and keyword there is no hassle of going into coding and there is plugin name Yoast SEO that helps you with it. As I said earlier website creation is very easy if you use WordPress.

Pros

What I like about WordPress is anyone can easily create a website seating at home, Its that easy to implement. You don't need to watch a 2 hours long tutorial. If you know the basic you can easily get to the designing part.

Cons

There are thousands of themes in a WordPress and its good and all but what I dislike about it is that whenever I try to install new themes, all the data, all the designing I did on the previous theme get lost. I'd very much like to change that.

### "The Best Blogging Platform for Bloggers"

October 6, 2021

5.0

I highly recommend Wordpress. It is user friendly and you can find support almost anywhere online. It is also free and it is updated regularly so wouldn't be concerned with hackers trying to hack your site. Although I still recommend to use a plugin to protect your website and not rely solely alone with Wordpress. Even a newbie will find Wordpress easy to use.

Pros

I have been using wordpress since I started blogging in 2007. Wordpress is an open source content management system or CMS and it is 100% free. It is user friendly and it is updated regularly. First, I like this app because it is free. Second, this app is updated regularly so you are confident that hackers will not be able to exploit this app. Another thing I like is, tutorials on how to use this app is everywhere. You will ever run out of support. Just Google what you need and you can find all solution from bloggers and video makers on Youtube. Wordpress is also easily backed-up and in case you want to change hosting, Wordpress is easy to transfer or migrate. Since this app is heavily supported, you will never run out of plugins and themes that will amke your website look better and perform better.

Cons

None so far. I have never encountered any problems using this app.

### "Most Feature Packed CMS"

November 29, 2018

4.0

The user base is so large, a third of the web uses WordPress. I highly recommend using WP if you wish to greatly customize your website. With some security plugins, you can harden it to be fairly secure.

Pros

WordPress is so extendable. There is probably already a plugin for whatever you wish to do. And if not, there is probably a market for selling your idea. Gutenburg, despite lots of concerns, is the future of designing posts and pages, and soon, it will be easier than ever to edit your theme via Gutenburg blocks. I am happy about this and the move toward more user oriented UX.

Cons

Legacy code and features drag it down from a software engineer's perspective. As WordPress officially still supports PHP 5.2, you cannot use classes, etc. Also, until Gutenburg improves, too much customization of your theme requires a page builder theme or knowing CSS, HTML, PHP, and JavaScript. There are tons of themes out there to choose from though.

### "I love WordPress, but it sure is hard!"

February 12, 2020

5.0

I'm using it to build my own websites, and I hope to use it to build a web design company once I figure it out.

Pros

It is so flexible! There are all kinds of drag-and-drop page building tools, MILLIONS of free and paid templates, lots of free and paid training and people to help, and tons of plugins to do anything you want to with your web page design. I can tell it's extremely powerful, and not only because so many big firms are using it!

Cons

I don't know why, but I'm having trouble using it. I know HTML, PHP, SQL, and CSS, and I just can't get some of it to work. The parts I do finally get take me a long time -- a lot longer than I think they should. I'm going to keep trying, because I think it's valuable software that's just going to get bigger in the future. I just want to warn people that it's harder than (at least some of) the training makes it out to be.

June 2, 2020

I have developed my personal websites using the WordPress. The dashboard of WordPress is really easy to understand. Where I can add my website content using the Pages and Posts Section. Woo Commerce is a great plugin of WordPress which has allowed me to build professional e-commerce websites. My overall experience with this software is really incredible.

Pros

If you want to build a professional blog, website or even an app without the knowledge of difficult programming languages then WordPress is really awesome. Free and Premium themes are perfect for your projects. There are lots of plugins which allow you to build a responsive and professional website.

Cons

According to my experience and knowledge, I've found WordPress really unique content management system. There are some external paid themes, I think so there should be free demo versions of these themes also. So any buyer of theme can test the template before buying it. All other features are really outstanding.

### "A good tool for the creation of web pages"

December 3, 2018

4.0

My experience with WordPress has been bittersweet since I think it is a tool that should be used by those who are not 100% clear as is the website they want since when we talk about a website made to measure I think the best is to resort to programming and creation through code, of course it is a very powerful tool and also has many plugis and worldwide support to be one of the most famous. This tool has helped me in several occasions to make work projects of simple websites, besides the implementation of payment systems is quite simple as well as the creation of pages that offer or sell services or products.

Pros

WordPress is a content manager that allows the creation of web pages and has very important positive aspects, first of all among all the options for the creation of a website is one of the best since the number of templates that exist allow achieve the product we want, also its integration with different payment methods or with different systems or components is quite broad and compatible, is constantly updated and therefore little by little improvement also can parameterize the security of the websites of so that it is impenetrable and finally that editing or uploading content becomes quite simple once the website is created.

Cons

WordPress despite being one of the best options in the market, in my opinion it has quite negative aspects, such as plugin costs or quality templates, they have to be somewhat high and in most cases it is inevitable not to have to go to these resources because to program these components would take a lot of time, besides that is heavy on the platform, also the constant updates sometimes cause incompatibilities that are solved after a certain time, among other things.

### "Flexible option for every website needs."

October 24, 2022

5.0

Exceptional experience indeed. You can go for this without second thoughts.

Pros

WordPress actually is flexible for whatever the need is. It provides variety of options from blogging to advance multi functional web apps. WordPress is compatible with thousands of plugins and themes. Moreover, to get complete customization over the website we can also build our own theme which can be installed and used seamlessly without any effort. Thousands of plugins allows us to add multiple functions which aren't there by default and most of them are completely free of costs. Creating a Forum, Ecommerce, Social Media, Blogging Websites & News Magazine Websites are really cost efficient and easy with WordPress.

Cons

WordPress.com doesn't allow adding custom domain to the free plan and installing plugins and themes are also limited to few options that they provide. WordPress does have open source version which doesn't have any limitations tho! They need to improve limitations on hosted version. I found the UI recently upgraded is really confusing for the new users.

### "A professional choice for highly reliable and secured websites with vast plugin choices. "

December 8, 2018

5.0

Wordpress has always been my first and foremost choice for preparing and designing highly reliable and secured websites for my clients. Due to high speed functionality and vast choice for themes , it is always easy to go with.

Pros

Wordpress has the advantage of maintaining content easily and more conveniently. There's also lots of plugins to choose from a multiple and diverse niches. Along with it , easy customization can done through plugins which is really easy. Wordpress themes are very much responsive due to user-friendly features.

Cons

Updates now and then often causes troubles in sorting the pre-arranged themes and disturbs a little in order to continue. Also , few of the unsecured plugins lead to insecurity that's why we have to be extra careful while choosing such unreliable plugins. Same case applies for those high coding themes which often causes slow in speed and customer experiences bad experience due to slow response.
