Oltre ad essere davvero user friendly ci sono così tante guide online, che puoi essere autonomo. Non sono una tecnica ma da zero sono riuscita a costruire i miei siti web su Wordpress in questo modo. Semplicissimo e funzionale. L'unico software per costruire siti web! Cons Nei vari aggiornamenti, spesso ti si sballano le cose. Review Source AB Anwar B.

It’s versatile and powerful, though a bit of maintenance is needed to keep it running smoothly. Pros WordPress offers flexibility, an extensive plugins, and a large user community, making it easy to customise and sort out any issues. Cons Managing plugins and updates can get tricky, and without technical know-how, more complex then other platforms Alternatives considered [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Reason for choosing WordPress Customisation of the website and not limited by a theme Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Project Coordinator Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For beginners and experienced individuals" September 24, 2024 4.0 Overall, WordPress is great for its versatility, customizability, and ease of use for both beginners and experienced individuals. Pros It has a user-friendly interface, good flexibility/customization, a large plugin library, and mobile responsiveness. Ease of use is a major factor. WordPress offers a simple, intuitive dashboard that allows even non-technical users to manage their website, create posts, and update content without developer or coding knowledge. Cons Although the large library pf plugins is nice to have, there can be conflict which can cause your site to slow or even break. Depending on how many plugins you install and the complexity of your site, WordPress can become resource-intensive, causing slow load times. There also always seem to be a lot of updates required. Review Source CB Carmen B. Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool to help build your website" October 14, 2024 4.0 Overall, we had a fairly easy time to build the website we envisioned. If we had a wish, we would really want an integrated translation feature (only the set-up, we can manage the translation itself). Pros WordPress makes it fairly easy to build your website according to your own wishes. Cons WordPress is sometimes too quick to implement new developments - old beloved features (such as automatic blocks) are then hard to find. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress Seemed the better option - we are now quite happy with our choice. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) We wanted to grow our website, and Wix had serious drawbacks. Review Source LM Latoria M.

Pros I love how simple it was to setup each page and how professional my blog looked when I was done setting it up. Cons The process of having to choose a particular image as the face of the blog campaign was a little frustrating. I forgot to choose one at times. It would've been nice if the program defaulted to the first image on the blog, which usually summarizes what a lot of the blog will be about. Review Source JW Jenna W. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go to for website development " December 30, 2024 5.0 Have developed many sites for small business owners and would continue to recommend Pros Can build customized website with any plugin imaginable and there it’s less expensive than most other site management platforms Cons More difficult for site managers without web development experience to manage themselves Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Editor Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Arguably the best all-round CMS" November 2, 2024 5.0 Pros The block editor is very convenient for my work. It's super quick to add elements, and copy-pasting from one article to another works like a charm. What's also important for me is that WordPress works well on my phone when I need to make updates on the go. Cons My only problem with WordPress is that it can be slow at times. Review Source RB Rich B. CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress is Great for Websites!" October 1, 2024 5.0 Overall, I've had a great experience with WP. I've built various sites through various plug ins that are available (Elementor, Divi, etc.) and also been able to keep the site secure with the various security plugins that are available. WP makes it possible to set up a personal or business website with a very short learning curve. Pros WP makes it super easy to set up a professional website. It's not like back in the "old days" when you needed to learn HTML or pay a ton of money to get website set up for your business. Cons From time to time there are security concerns and it's important to do the updates so your site is not vulnerable to hackers. Review Source AH Adam H. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Far too confusing for a non-web developer. Even though I'm very 'techie'" February 14, 2025 1.0 So hard to edit and create a site that looked nice. Too confusing with all the themes.

Easy to build, easy to modify and free Pros The speed to build is great. With themes and templates, a quick website can be built in a day. Cons The ability to customise small things in a theme is not great. You really have to follow the template.

Operations Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent website engine." December 17, 2024 4.0 Create and manage our websites using Wordpress. Excellent product. Pros Takes some time to learn the user interface. However, it is full-featured and once templates are set, easy to manage and maintain. Cons Takes some time to learn the user interface.

Pros the ease of setting up courses and responding to customers all from one place. Cons I think it could be more intuitive, I usually had to watch tutorials or ask someone else to understand the platform. Review Source AP Amanda P. Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Web Pros, Not Great for Sole Proprietor" November 25, 2024 3.0 I work mainly with self-employed individuals and small businesses that do not have an in-house web design team. Because of this, I usually do not recommend WordPress to my clients. For the everyday business owner trying to edit their own website, WordPress can be overwhelming & very difficult to navigate. Pros It offers the ability to completely customize and have full control over every aspect & function of your website. You can easily manage SEO. Great for web design professionals and businesses with an in-house web design team. Cons It is difficult for anyone who does not have web design experience to use. It can be easily hacked if you do not properly secure your site.

Owner and Interior Designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good For Simple Sites" February 11, 2025 4.0 I used it for years but felt that many aspects of my web design ended up being more elementary than I liked. Pros WordPress's simplicity worked perfectly for me to be able to create a blog without having any experience building websites. Cons Some of the templates were too basic-looking or outdated.

There are plenty of tools and learning material available for anyone who is new, yet technically capable, to create and maintain a blog or website.

Developer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast and Free - Mostly" September 26, 2024 5.0 Very fast to get a site up and running. Most hosting providers offer it as an app that will be ready to use in less than 10 minutes. Pros Very easy to deploy and configure. Thousands of themes and plugins available. Wide ranging support. Cons Some plugins are suspect and/or not actively supported, so you have to be picky.

It may not be "drag-and-drop" but it easy enough to operate, even for a beginner. Pros Great features, and great integrations for a very good price. Cons Sometimes, it feels a bit clunky to operate. Too many integrations. Sometimes the integrations don't work properly and you have to reach out to support.
