Social Media Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wide user support, robust and suitable for a wide range of web pages" March 15, 2025 5.0 One of our projects required us to build a web store from scratch for a client. I was able to put the page of articles, shopping cart and payment options with WooCommerce (a plugin) quickly and easily. The client was very happy because it worked. It is also good to highlight that I had some issues, a few hours of downtime occurred once when an update plugin crashed with the theme. It was a difficult time, but we got over it quickly with the help of the community and tutorials. That experience taught me the value of creating backups and running test environments for updates before deploying them to the live site. WordPress has been like staring at a blank canvas for us; with enough time, persistence and occasional assistance, we can create just about anything we may require. Pros From corporate websites to e-commerce platforms, WordPress works great for almost every project I’ve worked on as a web developer. I have managed to customize each development to my needs without starting from scratch due to its extensive ecosystem of plugins and themes. Anything from a simple personal blog to a sophisticated business website is within our capabilities. It is a powerful instrument as the possibilities are almost unlimited. Themes and plugins are another strong point. You can customize your website without knowing how to code thanks to the plethora of free and paid options. Do you prefer a more contemporary style? For this, there is a theme. Need a social media widget, advanced search engine optimization tool, or contact form? For that, you can find a plugin. It is a toolbox full of solutions for your projects. Cons To keep your site safe and running smoothly, you should update it frequently. This includes WordPress, its themes and plugins. Site slowness or, worse, vulnerability to attack may result from not doing so. You have to be very careful with this. Review Source Andy N.

Customer Experience Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WordPressing a lifetime journey" May 16, 2025 5.0 From self taught user to complex international ecommerce project management, diving deep into each core and additional feature, always looking for the best performances and results. Pros I feel it my tool, when challenged asking to solve a problem or what I can achieve with it, I know how to reply and what to do to get the results. Cons Lack of collaboration; long time planned feature, endless developing and being a fundamental one it's a big missed opportunity for the stack you build with WP. Review Source Aaron G. Membership and Development Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and Looks Great!" June 12, 2025 5.0 I have worked with Wordpress for 10+ years and I have never had an issue. The plug-in library that they offer is second to none. Pros I am a huge fan of the ease of creating, editing and posting content. I do not have experience in HTML so the ease of doing things via Elemontor is critical. Cons The only issue I have is I often am updating several sections of our website at one time, however, it is not easy to switch from one section to the site to another. Review Source FH Franci H. IT Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for beginners!" October 3, 2025 5.0 Once you get the hang of it, it's one of the easiest platforms to create a website on for beginners. Pros It was fairly easy to learn to use. There are a lot of online tools available to help you through use of the tool which is very helpful. Cons It would make it easier if it had a way to tell you if some of the apps conflicted with each other. It would also be helpful if you were given a "list of things you need" when you first get started, like apps that you need that work alongside these types of platforms, like a server for example. These are things you wouldn't think of having to need when first getting started. Review Source AT Angie T. Director of Business Affairs Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its okay but I don't love it." November 17, 2025 3.0 It is okay. I do not love it. It does what I need it to do and I only have basic skills. It was set up by a contracted team and I only do updates and minor revisions. Pros It is a fairl basic website program that does what we need it to do. I have been able to make basic changes and I am not a skilled website designer. Cons It is not intuitive to use and, many parts are outdated without an easy way to update and I frequently have to clear caches to get changes to update. Review Source DG Dario G. Customer Advisor Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best CMS nowadays " October 18, 2025 5.0 WordPress is the best choice as CMS, easy websites to design and a lot of plugin to use as Elementor, Wprocket and more Pros WordPress it’s the best choice If you are looking for a fast, easy to use and with high security sistems CMS. I use WordPress for my web site, as I’m not able to develop an entire website using code and I’m very satisfied. Cons Sometimes it can be slower if you charge it with plugins or themes, it needs to stay clean in the most of the times Review Source Kennedy K. freelancer Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "wordpress review" January 30, 2025 5.0 it has been the best when especially customizing websites to clients and my website Pros The website is user-friendly, it is easy to customize some of the templates and themes, and it's SEO capability is top-notch. Also, it is better when someone starts an online store and it has more capability to even be free. Cons Some of the themes I have been installing are slow, and some do not support the needs I have, especially when I install the themes, and they start to be hard to customize. Also, there is no learning community like an online course and gaining a certificate to showcase to clients Review Source Martin D. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quick start, very flexible but time consuming" February 1, 2025 4.0 Relatively simple to start but the more I uncovered, the more I needed to learn. Quick to get things off the ground but money needs to be spent on builders like Elementor rather than the native builder imo. Pros Flexibility, adaptability and sheer amount of choice. After a reasonably small learning curve, everything becomes quite clear on how wordpress and all the myriad plugins work together. The theme options are also great. Cons I found resolving issues can be very time consuming. Also even with what i felt was enough security, I somehow got hacked and eventually the website got consumed with so many fake pages i had to close it down and chose Wix. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing WordPress Squarespace, especially then, was a little to straight out of the box. WP in comparison was cheaper, gave way more customisability but the tradeoff was the continuous learninf curve. Review Source JG Jorge G. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "In love with Wordpress since 2016" February 9, 2025 5.0 Site development, multisite and plugin development, custom design, content creation, and WPO. Pros It's easy to use and learn, and it can also become a powerful tool for publishing content, creating a corporate site, or even selling online with plugins. Cons It requires PHP and dedicated hosting if you want to maximize its potential, and it can also be plugin-dependent. Alternatives considered [Angular](https://www.capterra.com/p/210589/Angular/)[PrestaShop](https://www.capterra.com/p/134005/PrestaShop/) Reason for choosing WordPress It's the best way to introduce a non-professional user to the blogging world. The installation and configuration are fast and smooth, and it does not require advanced knowledge. Review Source LG Lyndsey G. Curriculum Designer Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress is Key!" May 4, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been great! Wordpress is much more official and professional than other free websites. Pros Wordpress allows you to add plugins that ensure your blog posts are meeting all the necessary requirements to get your post high in the search engine. Cons Wordpress requires frequent updates; however, you can set it up to do this automatically. Switched from [Blogger](https://www.capterra.com/p/231507/Blogger/) I wanted a more professional look that made viewers take my brand more seriously. Review Source NS Natalie S.

" December 23, 2025 5.0 I like WordPress because it accepts you to install and run plugins of different tools with interference. Pros WordPress has variety of pre-made templates for website which makes website designing easier and friendly. Cons WordPress website hosting is a slightly expensive to beginners and a free version is also limited.. Switched from [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Wix has limited features compared to WordPress. Review Source CH Crystal H. Executive Business Growth Strategist Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "WordPress for the win on my website " January 25, 2025 5.0 Overall, I've had a good experience using WP. One of the main reasons I selected to use WP to build my website is due to their ADA plugins. I previously used GoDaddy for my website but could not get what I needed there so moved over to WP. The learning curve is a bit more than what I would like, however, partnering with someone who knows their way around has shortened it quite a bit. I am super pleased with how my website came out and am confident it will support my needs long term. I also like knowing I can renew my subscription for multiple years and not have to worry about it every year. As a small business owner, I enjoy tools that make my life easier. Pros WordPress sparked my interest based on the robust level of features and mult-year subscription options. Cons I found the learning curve a bit challenging so much so that I did hire a WP specialist to help me build my website. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress I chose WP over Wix based on popular consumer demand. After doing a lot of research, WB kept ahead of Wix in many areas, so it was a no-brainer for me. Switched from [GoDaddy Website Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/182500/GoDaddy-Website-Builder/) I switched from GoDaddy because GoDaddy did not have the ADA plugin that I needed for my website. It was also a bit limited with how creative I could get with my website. WordPress has given me everything I need at this point in my business. Review Source Juan D.

Wordpress is very simple and easy to use, you can build anything you can imagine, a blog, a company, an e-commerce store anything you want for free and I build all of my website with WordPress. Cons I use WordPress as my prior since last 4 year still now I still not face any single problem.

Review Source TC Torlock C. Head of Marketing and Development Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing tool for web design but lacking in scalabiity " March 3, 2025 4.0 Overall, WordPress is one of the best website creation tools on the web, without a doubt. It does need to get with the times in many aspects but it is open-source, has the best community around and is highly extensible. Pros Easy to make a website, even more complex websites. The Codex and API are great and the plugins are endless - you can integrate just about anything. Cons The wp\_meta table makes it very hard to scale - WordPress really need to modernise its database structure. I get that it was originally intended as a blogging platform, so the structure does make sense, however, the ecosystem has evolved into so much more with the likes of WooCommerce etc and the WP database needs to keep up to scaling standards. Review Source CD Christopher D. Website Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent open-source CMS" August 13, 2025 5.0 Pros The opensource software is fantastic. I use it on countless websites for personal and client work, I recommend it. Cons By nature of it's popularity it can be a target for being hacked etc. This has caused issues in the past for us.

Review Source LM Lisa M. Senior Training Advisor Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress is my go-to product for building websites" April 2, 2025 5.0 I started with wordpress.com and "graduated" to using self-hosted wordpress.org within two years, and then went on to build multiple sites using various themes. Pros Wordpress is incredibly powerful and flexible tool for designing and programming websites. It's also relatively user-friendly and easy to learn how to use with a bit of time and trial and error. Particularly appreciate the wide range of compatible plugins that help make programming simpler. Cons My main dislike with wordpress is mostly related to the additional components you can choose to use as a website designer - especially themes and plugins. As wordpress is regularly updated, this can put you out of step with your plugins and theme components unless THEY are also being regularly updated, which can cause display glitches and headaches on the front end of the site. This is especially likely to happen when using plugins that aren't updated regularly or are more niche. Alternatives considered [Squarespace](https://www.capterra.com/p/143461/Squarespace/) Reason for choosing WordPress More market share, reach, and flexibility. Review Source JM Jaana M. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for blogging and experts" January 4, 2025 4.0 I've been happy with WordPress as a blog platform, but the use of plug-ins and need of technical knowledge doesn't make it very beginner friendly. Pros I have used WordPress mainly for creating a blog and a website, and it serves well in that. The free version got so many limitations, and as i wanted to have my own domain name, i chose the smallest possible package as service. There's enough of storage for my need, and the site has been available constantly, no loading issues. Service is very flexible, and you can create almost any kind of website using WordPress. Cons My biggest con is the need of technical skills. In case you want to get something fancy or specific thing on your site, you need to find a proper plug-in. And there are all too many of them! And i have started my first website at the time it was all built up from a scratch, by writing code! And I still find it too difficult to find all the details, and create exactly I want. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress It seemed to be better platform for my type of website (a blog) Review Source AR Alec R. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great way to build a more custom website" April 19, 2025 4.0 Having used other companies to design and host my website, I found the templated setup to be limiting, with no access to backend metrics for performance and SEM. Having a WordPress site now means I can access details on nearly everything that builds and maximizes the page, and my current developer can still manage the nuances of the page design and general SEM to boot. Pros Super versatile webpage builder with a lot of plug-in options to maximize usage. Also nice to have more SEM control than other templated programs I've used in the past. Cons Takes a bit of learning to feel comfortable with how to navigate and edit pages, and a lot of the learning is done through self-guided research. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress My web developers have many WordPress template options tailored for martial arts studios Switched from [97 Display](https://www.capterra.com/p/251771/LeadCore/) More access to the backend information, SEM, metrics, and content management Review Source Judy S. Webmaster Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not What I Had Hoped" November 3, 2025 3.0 I was asked to update the design of a WordPress website for a community club. I agreed to do it because I had heard WordPress was easy to use. Afterall, I spent 15 years writing HTML and editing sites for my company....how hard could it be? Sadly for me, it turned out to be MUCH for difficult Pros I WANTED to like Wordpress, because I had heard so much about it. Unfortunately, I just didn't find it very easy to use. Ultimately I decided to go with a different product. Cons I found it very difficult to edit pages in WordPress. In the end, it was just not worth the time it would take to learn the product, so I ended up going back to a different product. I also tried using a template, but I found editing it very clumsy. Customer support wasn't very helpful either. They pointed me towards training videos on Youtube. I just didn't think it should be so cumbersome. Alternatives considered [Wix](https://www.capterra.com/p/169007/Wix/) Reason for choosing WordPress I did not choose WordPress. I opted to go with Wix. Review Source CJ Cassandra J.

Cons We don't as many, if any, issues with Word Press. Any issues are normally cleared up when reaching out to customer support. Review Source GH Greta H. HRIS Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wordpress Collaboration is Key" November 17, 2025 4.0 The ability to collaborate easily has made using Wordpress has been very helpful in getting content out quickly and accurately. Pros Wordpress updates the website in real time, and being able to preview before publishing is fantastic. Allowing collaboration from several users is also very helpful. Cons Wordpress definitely has a learning curve and it can be challening to get the exact vision you have for the page to work. As someone who had no Wordpress knowledge prior to using it, it took a few weeks to get comfortable with it. I often google search questions as they arise, and that is 50/50 on if the search is helpful or not. Review Source LG Laurent G. Dirigeant Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vieux mais toujours utile" September 18, 2025 3.0 Pros J'ai créé et co-édité presque une dizaine de sites sur WordPress en toute simplicité même si le design reste toujours à désirer. C'est un CMS complet, pas le plus facile à utiliser, mais complet et gratuit. Presque tous les ans on a des mises à jours pour ESSAYER de prévenir le piratage. Cons WordPress cause beaucoup trop de difficultés. Il est beaucoup trop compliqué à utiliser. L'éditeur est toujours le même, pour avoir de bonnes fonctions il faut acheter des extensions, qui quand elles marchent coûtent une blinde. Review Source Similar Products Featured
