You can use it for simple blogging or more complex e-commerce websites. It's open source and free-to-use. I used WordPress as a way to launch my own web design business and it's perfect. The UI is simple enough for inexperienced users to use, yet being open source, can be easily modified by more advanced developers. The community of theme makers, plugin builders and professional developers is thriving and the amount of online documentation is extensive enough to answer almost any question or problem you encounter. Most web hosts offer one-click WordPress installation these days. WordPress really makes web design accessible to anyone and offers entrepreneurs countless opportunities. I believe WordPress is the future of the Internet! Pros Plugins for just about anything you need, wide variety of themes, scaleable, secure, open source Cons Frequent updates can be hard to keep up with without automated tools, outdated themes and plugins can cause incompatibilities and/or security holes Review Source AT Arthur T. CEO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most powerful tool yet easy" September 17, 2021 5.0 Wordpress changed my life, and thanks to, I got to build a company and now i have employees and +100 active clients. Pros What I like the most is how easy is to teach my clients to do their little updates by themself. Cons Unfortunately, there's some functionalities you have to pay to a 3rd party plugin if you wanna a good execution, like backups. Reason for choosing WordPress Easy to use, mostly Review Source lM lidia M.

Non avendo grosse competenze capitava di sbagliare qualcosa nel linguaggio ed era jk delirio trovare l errore.... Adesso tutto più semplice e veloce Pros La facilità di utilizzo e la semplicità rendono il prodotto migliore rispetto ad altri simili. È al passo con tutto. L utente può facilmente creare il proprio blog o sito con pochissimi passaggi e senza grosse competenze Cons Al momento nulla di negativo da segnalare Review Source David G. IT Project Manager Investment Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Professional Blogging" April 30, 2019 4.0 Easy to learn, and very extensible and customizable for the more advanced users. WP has helped me get into the habit of writing, and making money creating pages for myself and my clients. Pros Wordpress is more than just a blogging platform. It has evolved a lot through the blogging years I've used it. Now there a ton of extensions, widgets, templates, functions, etc. that is made available to the user. Under the hood I love that it is fully customizable and flexible for each of my use cases. For personal blogging, just type and go, plus I can compose, edit, and post via my mobile device on the go. For side line projects, I use Wordpress to create professional looking interactive websites for my clients. There are a ton of free templates out there which you can download and apply to your wordpress, but there are also a lot of third-party providers from which you can buy unique and professional and fun templates to apply. You can also host your wp on Wordpress site itself, but if you want to have it in your own domain, Wordpress Pro makes it so much easier and seamless. Cons From free to paid, I have no complaints about WP. It is my go to platform without a doubt. A bit of a learning curve for the more advanced features set, but that's expected.

Student Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An Incredible Tool for Content Management" December 28, 2018 5.0 I've used WordPress for every blog I've ever ran, as well as helping family and friends set up their own sites using it. It's incredibly obvious that they designed it with nontechnical users in mind, as even people who weren't familiar with the internet were able to pick up on how to use it with no problems. It is a very effective solution to content management that should absolutely not be overlooked. Pros WordPress is very easily the best content management system I have encountered. If you own your own website, you can upload it to your FTP server. If you don't want to deal with that, you can create a .wordpress site completely free, and later turn it into a .com if you wish for a very small charge. It lets you decide how to set it up, and from there makes adding new content, changing themes, and so on an absolute breeze. Cons There are genuinely no cons to this software, it makes content management very easy for technical and nontechnical users alike. Review Source AK Abhishek K. Web Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most Preferred CMS" January 30, 2024 4.0 Pros The interface is very simple and the features are outstanding. The development process is fast and i never felt any delay while making any changes in my website or in installing any new features whenever i need it for my website. The whole work process is very smooth. Cons Its dashboard is user friendly and when one works on wordpress it never fells like hanging.The whole work process is smooth. Review Source Abigail L. Member Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use WordPress to run two web pages for my small business and my freelance writing. " February 20, 2018 5.0 Pros I have used WordPress for 5 years now. While there is a learning curve to web design and management, Wordpress makes the learning as painless as possible. With excellent tutorials and helpful information, I have been able to teach myself how to use WordPress and design websites that I think are great looking, with no formal tech training. If you want a legitimate website that you own and operate, WordPress is where you end up. I love the flexibility of theme choices and the affordability. For someone just starting out, you don't have to spend a fortune. You can choose to invest in more customizable themes and plugins as you gain experience in using WordPress. I love WordPress. Cons It can be intimidating going into a project for the first time. Take a deep breath and go slow and read the tutorials and you will have a fully functional website in no time. Review Source RB Ryan B. Vice President, Digital Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We Only Build On WordPress" January 8, 2021 5.0 Overall, WordPress can be as good or bad as your knowledge allows. There are rare cases in which I would suggest someone use a different platform, but most people can expect to have a better website on WordPress. Pros WordPress is used by over half of the world's website owners for a good reason. It's possibly the most versatile option on the market, with limitless levels of customization available for advanced users, but powerful options for simplifying the platform for beginners. You can create anything from a one-page website based on a template, all the way to an intricate e-commerce store with hundreds of thousands of products. We build all of our websites on WordPress for the immense power they provide to create custom sites that run fast and allow for a great user experience. Cons The only downside I've ever experienced with WordPress was when I (not a web developer) tried to migrate a website from a different platform. I was used to drag-and-drop site builders and had to search online for solutions. However, I then found the visual site-builder options and everything got easier. If you know what you're doing or can pay someone that does, the cons quickly disappear. Review Source Obinna A. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Content Creator Online " January 29, 2023 5.0 Very good experience using WordPress. It's my primary website design platform. Pros Free platform with thousands of free themes and plugins. Cons The free hosting option doesn't allow use of it's many plugins. Review Source Brian T. Owner/Operator Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A tool for all experience levels" November 2, 2018 5.0 WordPress frees me up as a web designer to focus on the artistic side of the work, by streamlining and simplifying a lot of the coding needed before the software. Developers are constantly improving the product. The variety of themes allows for pre-made templates and original designs. After many years of use and experimentation with other software, it is simply the most complete platform out there. Pros This software allows you to unleash your skill and ability. The more html and php competent you are, the more interesting things you can do. But there are features that allow almost anyone, with basic computer literacy, to create a site that suits them.. Cons There is little about this software I don't like. The customer support could be better and the relationship between wordpress.org and wordpress.com could be better explained. The administrator features could be explained without having to go to a forum. Other than that, a pretty spot on product. Review Source NB Nicole B. Marketing Communications Manager Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPress is the #1 CMS to Use" December 29, 2020 5.0 WordPress helps us engage our audience in so many ways. From writing SEO content, to sharing blogs on social media and in email newsletters, and hosting sweepstakes to promote our brand and educate, this CMS tool has benefited our company in many ways and I highly recommend it. We use Sitecore for our main website and to create landing pages for campaigns because it has more capabilities, but we are quite happy with using the two different platforms. Pros WordPress is a very easy to use platform for blogging. Adding images, titles, headers, GIFS, videos, categories, and infographics is simple. I love that we can also use plugins like Rank Math SEO to add title tags and meta descriptions, quizzes, forms for sweepstakes, and more to engage our audience. Cons I am not a fan of the new Gutenberg editor and our team continues to use the original WordPress editor. We all found it not not be as intuitive and difficult to use and it would definitely lower my rating for this software product if it became the standard. Reason for choosing WordPress No other software for blogging, such as SquareSpace could compare. No other was considered. Review Source Trevor M. Web Designer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'll always love WordPress, it's my favorite platform" September 22, 2019 5.0 In six years as a web designer, WordPress is the only platform I put my hands on the fire. It is the most faithful and professional site to create web pages. I recommend it with my eyes closed and do not dismiss any option because they are all useful. Pros All the time I spend on WordPress is valuable. It's a manageable platform, with hundreds of tools and a free version that gives me more than I need, although it's also useful to opt for a paid plan for business goals. Any digital work that my company requires I can solve it with WordPress, because it gives me endless templates, options, ways to work. SEO optimization is another WordPress weapon, because it allows us to position ourselves on Google. I trust this software fully, it has it all. Cons I haven't had any problems, it's perfect. I've read comments about WordPress deficiencies in Internet security. However, it hasn't happened to me, so I can't confirm it. Review Source Tony C. Director Web Technology Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Building a Website? WordPress is (Probably) Best for You." December 5, 2019 4.0 I build websites for clients with WordPress. These are restaurants, fitness centers, professional speakers, etc. They are needing more than a simple website and usually have some interactive forms and sometimes eCommerce in their site. I've been using WordPress for over 12 years, so…yes, I like it and I rely on it. Pros I love the expansion capabilities of WordPress. With tens of thousands of quality plugins that expand the features and many thousand themes (templates), WordPress provides a solid platform for anyone needing a quality website. There is no doubt that it is stable and reliable software. Cons You could say that WordPress is easy. But, in truth, it has become confusing for the end-user who does not have any technical background. The alternatives, like Wix and Squarespace do have benefits for non-tech people who want to launch a website quickly and who don't wish to worry about updates and software (in)compatibilities. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Director Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Save your money, try something else!" January 6, 2021 3.0 Overall, I would prefer a software that isn't so laggy, easier to use, have a more streamlined approach to drag and drop builders. I'd also like a software that has necessary and impressive features (ones I don't have to search for, research and source to do basic things) For ex: downloading a slideshow plug-in. Having that option there initially through Wordpress would be beneficial and time-saving. Pros Plug-ins are a positive element of this software. They definitely add to whatever website you're creating. Find a good plug in and you can raise the standards of the content and what you create on Wordpress. Cons Wordpress is just so outdated and difficult to use. They make everything harder than it needs to be and just isn't progressive with the times. We're too far in the world of advanced digital creation to be using a software that isn't seamless to use. If the companies I work for websites weren't already on Wordpress, I would suggest another. Review Source Jessica L. Operations Director Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No web experience? Then, highly recommend this!" April 25, 2019 5.0 Pros Just over 2 years ago, we converted all of our websites to WordPress. Best.decision.ever. I am, by no means, skilled at creating, changing, customizing websites. All of our sites were PHP before WordPress and it was a nightmare to get things updated. We don't have an in-house developer and everything was on his timetable. Now, with WordPress, we can easily make edits and customizations on the site. If we want to add something to the site, I can bet you that there is a WordPress plug-in for that! And they are cheap and easy to customize. Just by playing around, we can customize pretty much anything we want. AND - its fool proof - you get to preview any changes before they are made. It doesn't get easier than this! Cons This is my favorite software/platform we use. I can't say a bad thing about it. We have had ZERO problems with it in the past 2+ years. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent for small business owners!" May 11, 2019 5.0 Overall experience was and still is great. I have yet to find another program that can compare. Pros I've used Wordpress to build websites for several companies over the last decade and I've always found that the program is always up to date, free of bugs, and customer service has always assisted in a timely manner. The applications that can be used on the platform seem endless and for the DIY'er it simply cant be beat. Cons The vast amount of plugins can sometime be a double edged sword in that I can sometimes get lost in which plugins i need or what to use and it can be a bit overwhelming at times. My suggestion would be to research prior to uploading any plugins and have a plan in place to fulfill your needs. Avoid exploring too much, as tempting as it is. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/)[Weebly](https://www.capterra.com/p/246168/Weebly/)[GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) Reason for choosing WordPress Wordpress, i felt was more stable and the reviews were much better that the competitors at the time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the Best & Easy to Use CMS" November 6, 2018 4.0 We used WordPress for a lead generation project for one of our client's website. We were able to develop the website with our own theme within a time frame of two weeks. Thanks to the Wordpress & the plugins available for contact forms. In addition to this, we used SEO plugins to easily optimize pages. It helped us to make our client happy. Pros Wordpress is one of the best open source CRM that mostly used by people for blogging. The best advantage of using WordPress is the wide list of plugins that one can install to fulfill the additional requirements. One can get hundreds of free themes for each category. Someone with the knowledge of PHP can even customize the application to fulfill the business need. Starting from general blogging to lead generation to an e-commerce portal, everything can be done with real ease by using WordPress and the plugins available. Cons You need to keep track of all updates, not only WordPress updates but also the plugin updates. One of the major issues is that the plugins support for specific versions of WordPress and above If you are not updating WordPress then those will not work. Sometimes using third party plugins is also not safe, there will be issues related to vulnerability. Always ensure to read the reviews before installing plugins. Review Source Stephen B. IT Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Win with Wordpress!" February 13, 2019 4.0 I would highly recommend wordpress to any user. I think it offers users anything you could possibly need. I have used it to build business websites, personal websites, educational sites and even an auction site. It can do much and is worth the time to get started! Pros Wordpress is a wonderfully powerful website building platform. It has what seems to be an infinite number of possible themes and layouts. It has great third party support so you can turn your website into anything you could want (online store, auction, non-profit, business...etc). Wordpress is also relatively inexpensive. You can purchase a domain and get a private registration through them and their customer service will get you up and running in no time. It is truly a great value and to top it all off, it has one of the largest communities of users around so you can find the answers to almost any question! Cons If you are used to a drag and drop interface, Wordpress may be a little more robust then what you are used to. While it offers much, there is a little bit more of a learning curve then other sites. Wordpress also has many great possibilities but many third party themes and services do cost money and you could quickly find yourself paying a lot to get exactly what you are going for. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co Founder Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Been working with WordPress for over 6 years" July 31, 2018 5.0 Pros I'm using WordPress for several blogs and I think one of the best pros of WordPress is it's extensive, yet easy to use interface and that the installation process is very simple. More pros of WordPress are: - Very flexible in terms of adding new themes and features through the use of plugins. - Huge plugin and theme libraries available (Tip: focus on plugins with many installs). - Easy to develop new features or modify existing ones. - A lot of free information available on the web on almost any WordPress related subject. - Great upgrade process which works flawlessly in most cases. Cons Besides all these great pros there's also a few minor cons: - WordPress has a known track record for many severe vulnerabilities (Tip: install a firewall and try to avoid plugins with only a few installs). - No core WordPress automatic back-up functions. Review Source Jon Q. IT Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress is the best CMS!" February 12, 2019 5.0 My overall experience with Wordpress has been great! the software works really well and I have never had a problem with the underlying system. I have developed multipul sites and they turned out great! Pros I have dabbled in web site developement for friends and some small companies to help them out over the years. I have worked with straight html as well as Joomla and Drupal. Wordpress is easy to install (most online hosts can auto install it for you) once installed you can use the plugins to pretty much make it do anything you need it to do. Cons If you dont take care to really make your Wordpress site stand out, it is too easy to get that "cookie cutter" look where all wordpress sites look the same...just different pictures. The community support is somewhat hit or miss, but if you have a question someone has probably already asked it...just sifting through the comments to find the correct answer. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPress is a good tool for websites" November 14, 2018 4.0 There are not necessarily any business problems with WordPress, it's just a little to manipulate around the software to make it look like what you envisioned for the site. It does get you there eventually, it just take a little longer. But the wait is worth it. Pros I've used Wordpress for about 2-3 years for developing and enhancing my website. Wordpress current version does have more features than about a year ago, but I think it's not as easy to use that comparable solutions. Manipulating within WordPress can become tedious. You really have to know where you want to go in order to make the software work. But it is pretty robust when it comes to developing an amazing website. Cons What I like the least about WordPress manipulating through the different pages in your website. It's not as easy as other tools to be able to just drag and drop when you want to make changes to pages. I think it’s a little rudimentary. Review Source LM Luiz M. Jornalist Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Could be better! But it's pratical! " September 3, 2021 4.0 It's an amazing tool to use in any way! You can write to be a blogger and write for movies or work on the platform as a journalist. Works perfectly on pc version. The app could be more compact and easier to use even for older people. Overall, it is a wonderful tool for you who are looking for a new way to spread ideas and news. Pros It is an interesting tool for those who want to start using websites and blogs in a professional or personal way. There you can even work as an independent journalist. You can keep track of accesses and interactions with the public. As it is a tool with free possibilities, it becomes more democratic. And I love it. Cons Unfortunately if you use it in free mode, you will find many limitations. I understand that it is to privilege those who pay for the most complete services. But I think it could be more attractive, too, for those who want to use it for free. That's where Workpress loses audience. Because anyone who wants to make a free blog, sees bad templates and ends up migrating to other competitors. Review Source Mike M. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why WordPress Is The Right Choice For My Business" January 28, 2019 5.0 WordPress is extremely flexible to use. There is no content limit and I was able to build myself a custom website without restrictions. WordPress allows you to own your own content, they are flexible as opposed to other web hosting services. WordPress is easy to customize, they have countless add-ons that are easy to use and I was able to My email marketing software, CRM software, SEO tools, all integrated with WordPress. WordPress also worked with the payment gateways I use for my business. WordPress has adapted to my needs over the years and I would recommend it as the best platform for anyone who wants to make a website. Pros By choosing WordPress for my business I was able to build the website I desired with clearly accessible content that I could design, customize, and manage. Cons It takes time to familiarize with the management, security, and installation of updates. Being completely in charge means exactly that. Since there is no hosting company you have to automate these tasks yourself.

I oversee the stylists and manage web traffic & reporting. Pros My top 2 features of Wordpress are the ways that you can customize your user experience either yourself or with one of the numerous templates to create a completely unique and tailored site or blog. My other favourite feature is that Wordpress is paired with a MySQL database, making it so easy to run custom reports on demand, engagement, site & link clicks, etc. Cons The new editor is actually easier to use and more streamlined but I'm so used to the former version that it took some getting used to.
