July 6, 2018 5.0 WordPress is the BEST CMS for SEO/SEM. Pros As a website design and development company, 99% of the websites we build are on WordPress. It offers the best quality, features, functionality and value for our clients. The best thing is how easy it is to manage a live site (adding pages, content, images, etc.) Plus it is the best for SEO. Cons There isn't much to say that is negative about WordPress itself. The only thing that comes to mind is some of the WordPress themes out there are complicated to customize. We don't use themes often, since we typically build custom WordPress sites, but when we do use themes some of the are overly customized especially when they are industry specific.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best platform to create your site own" April 29, 2019 5.0 I love Wordpress because it was the first platform that came along and allowed you to create dynamic websites. One of the things that makes it so great is just how flexible it is. You have the freedom to create whatever you want - and aren't locked into a subscription like you are with Squarespace or Wix. There are also a lot of great plugins out that make building a website easier than it's ever been. The only downside with such an open platform, is that there's a lot that can go wrong as well. It's important to learn (or hire someone) to help keep your site secure and loading quickly. Pros \- Incredibly flexible - Plenty of addon software and plugins available - You're able to create any kind of site you want Cons \- All of this flexibility means that it can be a challenge to optimize security and site speed Review Source Islam R. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Swiss Army Knife of CMSes!" August 31, 2021 5.0 Pros \- Highly extensible. - Easy deployment. - Fast automatic security patches (via minor updates). - Frequently updated with new features. Cons Lacks native multilingual capabilities, though it can be added through external plugins. For a global CMS like WordPress, built-in multilingual functions should've given much higher priority. Review Source OP Ozlem P. Business Consultant Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A brilliant website hosting platform" March 21, 2021 4.0 I have been working with WordPress for a long time and we have utilized it for some tasks in new companies and different ventures. It has astounding security and a great deal of advancement. With some plugins, you can make amazing stuff out of WordPress. Pros After a short learning period, you can start creating amazing websites. Practically any usefulness you need can be conveyed through a plugin. Odds are another person required something very similar and has concocted a decent arrangement, so looking through the huge vast community will lead you to the best answer for your own (or your client's) business. Cons It's truly clear when you utilize a WordPress site. Also, in case you're not cautious, it's not difficult to pull a Denial Of Service assault on, they don't even need to know coding to do it. Also every week, you might have to update the plugins you are using. Switched from [Drupal](https://www.capterra.com/p/119594/Drupal/) WordPress had a better community and plugins.

WordPress turned that around and now everyone can have the chance to have their website. Pros It's easy to use, reliable and there are thousands of developers that provide free plugins and themes that you can do anything you want with your WordPress Website. Cons It takes some time to learn the philosophy behind it. Sometimes websites load slowly but not significantly slowly, depending always from the theme you're using. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress Because of the variety of options. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good basic website" December 4, 2019 3.0 Overall, I would say that we have had a positive experience with WordPress, although there is a lot of room for improvement. First, I would recommend increasing security, then focus on speeding up the overall platform/backend. Other than that, it's a great entry-level platform for anyone looking to build basic sites. Pros Easy to use, relatively easy to set up a basic website, easy to maintain, decent backend that provides good metrics on site visitors, etc. Cons While the WordPress platform is helpful in developing basic sites, it is still very clunky and slow. We have needed to buy external packages to create a reasonable site for 2019 and, while it works, the backend still functions rather slowly. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing WordPress Cheaper Review Source Gregg B. Executive Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Start publishing on the web now" November 27, 2018 5.0 Pros WordPress is a widely used and supported web platform that has evolved from a blog service into a fully functional content management system. A multitude of paid and free plug-ins make customizing WordPress for your needs easy. Additionally, there are hundreds of developers and designers who are available to create or customize the platform for your needs. Cons Support options for WordPress are not always clear. While the online forums dedicated to the base system and to various plug-ins are helpful, depending on your level of expertise you may be best served in hiring an administrator to handle the technical details of implementation and integration with other tools.

Graphic designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Honest view" May 30, 2019 4.0 Wordpress is really a great application and modern day web designers will agree to this,it has made my site designing easier than expected,i can play and twist anything i want as soon as i notice any fault with no worries of which codes to use Pros The honest truth about wordpress is that it saves time, the days of coding are gradually becoming something of the past, with wordpress you can build any type of site to fit whatever you want for yourself ,an organization or even the government without thinking of the next code to use or where to fix the code.may God bless the brain behind wordpress Cons My only worry about wordpress is creativity and upgrades.If there is any little upgrade then you need to check back all your settings, because any little change can make you almost break the site down,as you might not quickly notice where the fault originated from. As for the creativity, because themes can be downloaded, most modern site tends to look alike based on what gets the attention of the eye and this makes wordpress look less creative when viewed by professionals Review Source Gerald H. Writer/Editor Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can We Survive without WordPress?" November 7, 2018 4.0 I had been using a different platform for a few websites, but I went back to WordPress because, simply put, the expansion abilities with various plugins that I can find here. Pros This is one of the most prolific blog hosting platforms out there and as a result, there are thousands of plugins, template themes, and forums that can help even the novice web developer and blogger get started. It's become far more than just a blogging platform, though, as you can build and establish your own ecommerce outlet, share content on social media, and more from your WordPress site. Cons Until the development of some plugins that give you visual editing capabilities that were easier to use, it was a bit complicated. For the complete beginner, without guidance and a really good 'how to' book with step-by-step instructions, it can quickly turn into a test of will. I'd been frustrated beyond measure years ago just trying to build a simple site, but thankfully there are easier tools to get there (though they also require some level of practice to get a handle on them).

Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPress - website option to consider but must keep WordPress hosting, theme, and plugins updated." December 20, 2018 4.0 I like WordPress and the websites that can be quickly created using it. As long as the site is kept updated the site will perform great and be useful for all visitors. Depending on where you host the site... it can be one of the lowest cost ways to have a website (that is not ad-supported). Pros WordPress is a great website builder choice for 2018... (it wasn't always an option I would recommend... as back 5-7 years ago it was not nearly as good as it is today) but in the last few years WordPress has become a stable and reliable option for a website and/or blog. For most websites, it is usually lower overall cost to use WordPress than it is to use a service like Weebly or SquareSpace for a site. Cons The WordPress website admin/owner must make sure that the WordPress hosting, theme, and all plugins are kept updated at least monthly. Without that attention the website will degrade or not show at all. Once the website fails you better have a backup manager setup so you can restore the files and database or you may not get back into the website without using the sFTP access, which can require knowledgeable assistance.

The platform is reliable and has kept pace with new developments. It may not be as clean and spiffy as some of the newer options, but I think it more than makes up for that in its capabilities. Pros +WordPress offers a very robust free version. +Paid version has seamless integration with domain/hosting services. +Great editing tools built into the system. +Lots of free an premium themes and templates to choose from. Cons \-Right to Left language support is very poor. I maintain one blog in Urdu and a single word of English breaks the editor. -Forms, calendars, and listserv features that are available rely on plug-ins that are sometimes built by third-parties and cannot be relied upon. Review Source Carlos D. Customer Experience Associate Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Going Strong But For How Long?" October 19, 2018 4.0 Pros WordPress has been my go-to for website and blog design for the better part of the last decade. WordPress' open source format allows for people brave enough to bootstrap some code and build a truly, from the ground up, custom website. I learned everything I know about front end web development by using WordPress. Cons WordPress will always be a favorite and go-to for me but it's had some steep competition from other more streamlined site creators and services. For people with a deeper sense of curiosity and the extra time to learn a new coding language, WordPress is irreplaceable. But, if you are short on time I can see choosing one of the newer companies out there. Review Source Sean G.

April 28, 2020 5.0 I have set up over a dozen WordPress websites and the process is intuitive, easy to understand, many templates are available, and it is a very well known product so a lot of support is available. Pros WordPress is by far the easiest product to use to build a website. There are SO MANY extensions and add ons that allow you to customize the website to your liking. Cons The basics are pretty simple, but if you want a website with more features you need to have some coding experience. I wish it were all user friendly to the point where coding experience wasn't necessary. Reason for choosing WordPress Because it is very well know, it is a stable platform, and there are many extensions that have been built because its open source. Review Source Sylvain B. SEO & Site web Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I build websites and give website support for Wordpress" July 26, 2018 5.0 Wordpress is free and the community is incredible, so it's a really good choice for creating your personal website or a business website. Pros Wordpress is a great web plateform for small-medium business. With specific design templates (like DIVI or others) we can build a website at lower cost than other plateform, and it's free. I like to be able to install multiples plugins to get what my client needs. Wordpress is my day to day job, so I love it. I make my living for me and my big family with Wordpress ... yeah ! Cons Sometimes Wordpress in unstable with some web hosting, or specific plugins or templates. We must know the core of Wordpress to be able to develop something strong and reliable.

Assistant Content Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect Website Builder for Beginners" September 16, 2021 4.0 Overall experience has been amazing. The ease of use for a non programmer like me is amazing. Using WordPress anyone can start their blog website without any coding knowledge. Pros WordPress allows anybody to start building their own website. Without knowing any coding languages, it's simple and user friendly to create a blog and launch your website in no time. Cons Sometimes it may get a bit complicated when you are looking to integrate too many things. Reason for choosing WordPress Most of the websites today work on WordPress that made it an obvious choice for me to choose. Review Source FFK Fambarila Fidèle K. Entreprener Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy to use content management system" February 1, 2023 5.0 Excellent overall experience, Wordpress is a content management system that I use almost every day. It is free and easy to use.It allows you to do almost anything you want as long as you have some web skills. Pros I like Wordpress for its ease of building and creating websites. An interesting feature is its use on different devices such as a tablet, a cell phone. This allows a certain mobility.Wordpress offers a real drag-and-drop platform that is very practical even for computer laymen to build their own website according to their taste. Cons The least appreciated in this software is sometimes when downloading a photo, it takes a little too long. Also the storage is very limited. Review Source RM Ryan M. IT Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The written word, for everyone" March 15, 2021 5.0 Pros It's not easy making a website from scratch, especially if you just want to get content out there. WordPress makes it easy to build a website and start making content, worrying about the look and developing the site later. It's great for making a blog, or just sharing recipes and over time developing it into a full-fledged website. Cons To do the more advanced features you have to know a little bit about coding, which is par for the course, but it'd be nice if some of those features that can be done for free were not put behind a pay wall. Though some of them make sense, there are others that would be easier if it was part of the freemium sub. Review Source Jawaid H. Consultant Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Website Builder" September 4, 2021 4.0 Wordpress is a beginner friendly tool that gives you control of your blog or website in terms of look and feel of your website. It allows you to add and remove plug-ins and keep your website updated and current. A little knowledge of IT helps the user to more effectively deploy and maintain the website build and hosted with wordpress. Pros Affordable solution. Mobile friendly. Lot of available themes. Ecommerce sites friendly. Cons Page speed is usually slow. Lots of plugins required. SEO ranking is not that good. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Editor/Writing Coach Used the software for: 2+ years ### "You get a lot for free" July 30, 2018 5.0 Ability to create a relatively cost-effective website for my business. Pros I've used WordPress for two different blog sites. I love the ability to have a blog post automatically publicized to my selected social media sites and to truncate the post in order to drive interested readers back to the site. I also love the WYSIWYG interface of the WP Bakery plug-in, though there definitely is a learning curve. Cons I don't like that the free website themes all seem to have tiny headers. I wound up purchasing a theme f because, as far as I could tell, that was the only way to size my header appropriately. I picked a theme that touted its user-friendliness and easy-to-import demos, but then it wound up being so difficult for me to use that I spent on a web developer -- I am a reasonably capable person and already had experience with WordPress, but I simply didn't have the time to figure it out with my current workload. I will say, now that it's set up and my developer showed me how to do certain things, I'm able to use it just fine. Review Source Irina D.

Pros Wordpress is very powerful and capable tool, and at the same time even a very beginner person can figure out how to build a website with it. It has a lot of support, it undergoes constant changes and improvements, and it has an amazing community where people are happy to help and share their knowledge. In addition to core themes and widgets, Wordpress allow installation of additional themes and widgets, and, given you have a knowledge of the tool, PHP, and html with css, you can create your own design and functionality, the exact way you want it. Majority of hosting companies will have support for it. Cons It may require you some trials and errors or even a professional developer's help to add complicated custom features or even configure existing ones, but it totally worth it. Also, there might be situations when you will have to do changes on backend and that may also require technical knowledge. Review Source MS Mohit S.

It has many functionalities which can be utilized for better use in content management for websites. Pros This tool is easy to understand and deployment for website building. I am not from the technical background but still I am able to perform many tasks without hiring web developer for my websites. Cons The simplicity and rich features availability in the tool makes me use the tool for more number of clients. I would always recommend to go with wordpress as It is easy to operate for non technical individuals. Review Source Satheesh Kumar A.

The ease of use, the widgets, customization, everything is an asset to the website. The Wordpress website with valid security widgets and SEO related plugins can do wonders for the website owners. Pros WordPress is the greatest and easiest CMS(content management system) one can go for when he/she needs a website to be built easily and quickly. The free to use plugins on the Wordpress.com are a boon in disguise for developers like us. Cons The websites built in WordPress are Vulnerable to security threats if we do not upgrade the code as it releases. But if we upgrade, the theme files gets messed sometimes.

Frontend Developer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wordpress made building a website and starting a business so much easier" December 21, 2018 5.0 I love Wordpress. I think this is something everyone should learn and use. We are living in a time where everything we do involves the internet or some sort of technology. Pros Wordpress let’s you build any type of website and it’s really easy. Of course there’s a subscription to pay, but you would have to pay almost the same amount with any other hosting site. At first I thought Wordpress was a bloggers site, which is what it is normally used for, but you can do so much more with it. I created a webcam video chat site using plugins and different themes. You don’t have to go through Wordpress if you want to host a Wordpress website. Other host services also have Wordpress hosting for you and some of the other guys are way cheaper. Cons The prices for the subscriptions are a little bit pricey, but you always have the option of using another hosting service. Review Source crisma B.

There is tons of options that i really like. Having a template is just it makes it really easy to edit website if i edit or change the look of my front page it automatically changes across all my pages , it makes my way easier. Pros wordpress has a million different plugins and has a database attached to it and it has a completly back-end content mangement system that allows to go in there and add post, edit pages and things like that to our liking. Cons It limits our ability to learn UI design, visual design, HTML, css , Because wp has an existing pre-built website templates and a million different plugins all we need to customize to our liking .
