### Most mentioned pros

- What I love about Wordpress is it's ability to help you integrate many available plugins to your website to make your site more rigid and offer more features to it.
- It provides us with the tools necessary not only to create and manage pages, but also to have enough control to customize them accordingly.
- It is simple to publish and update content, and the large selection of themes and plugins makes it possible to adapt a website to almost any requirement.

### Most mentioned cons

- One downside is that the many available plugins can sometimes lead to extra maintenance, and not every extension works perfectly with every theme or update.
- Only issue I have seen with WordPress is sometimes the syncing/updating of data on our WP pages, from our source software, can take some time.
- We tend to get a lot of spam comments, there are apps to filter them but they still manage to get though.

My overall experience with WordPress has been very positive. It has proven to be a reliable and flexible platform that consistently meets the needs of a wide range of projects. From simple websites to more advanced builds, it provides the tools and scalability needed to grow without major limitations. It is also the core web product we rely on, because it offers strong control over design, functionality, and performance. With the right setup, it delivers a solid balance of ease of use and powerful customization, making it a dependable foundation for both clients and long term development.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

What I like most about WordPress is its flexibility. It can power everything from a simple blog to a full scale business site without locking you into one approach. The plugin ecosystem is a major advantage, there is almost always a tool available for any feature you need. It also balances ease of use with advanced customization. Beginners can launch a site quickly, while more experienced users can modify nearly every aspect. Having full control over content, hosting, and SEO is another strong benefit compared to more restrictive platforms.

#### Cons

What I liked least about WordPress is that it can become overly complex as a site grows. Managing plugins, updates, and compatibility issues can take time, and things can break if updates are not handled carefully. Security is another concern, since its popularity makes it a frequent target for attacks, requiring ongoing maintenance and monitoring. Performance can also suffer if the site is not properly optimized, especially when too many plugins are used.

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

WordPress offered a more intuitive experience and a larger ecosystem compared to Joomla. It is easier to manage on a day to day basis, especially for content updates and client handoff. The availability of plugins, themes, and developer resources is significantly stronger, which makes building and scaling sites more efficient. It also aligns better with our workflow and long term goals, allowing us to standardize it as our core web product. The flexibility, community support, and overall ease of customization made it the more practical choice.

I have been using wordpress for years, starting back in the day of name.wordpress.com to buuld your owne personal page. My websites have ecommerce embedded with payment solutions that I can manage myself. Plus for my personal sites, I can have a lot of fun creating different designs and add-ons.

Ease of use. I can get a simple page up and running in literally minutes, and an ecommecre site in under an hour. Beyond that, the templates and add-ons make it possible to design really great looking, functional websites across multiple industries.

#### Cons

Free plug ins. Most plugins have the danger of being hacked, especially if not updated. People...it's free for a reason. Purchase the upgrade!

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

As the owner of a marketing agency, I’ve worked with a variety of website platforms for our clients. We feel very comfortable working with WordPress. Its always being easy to use, easy to control to perform SEO, and we like the variety of customization options. Our experience has been great.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

What I like the most about WordPress and why we recommend it to most of our clients is its affordability compared to other platforms, and also because it is incredibly user-friendly and offers great quality and functionality.

#### Cons

When we are changing the fonts and their sizes, sometimes and for some reason, the text doesn't pick up the font size and it doesn't appear visible, which force us to do it manually and try to guess the same size that was used before. Its something minor, but if this could be fixed that would be great.

#### Reasons for switching to WordPress

Because the yearly plan is more affordable than Shopify.

I was initially going to get a hosted website that would be tied to the host. So glad I retained my independence by using WordPress. The value for money is unbeatable! I have never had need to even call customer support.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

It was a bit of a learning curve to set up for me with no experience, but there are loads of tutorials on YouTube to help you. Can't get over how easy it them was to get a professional website! It was also easy to see mobile responsiveness which is now my major source of traffic.

#### Cons

The steep learning curve trying to set it up on my own before I found out about the YouTube tutorials.

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

There were so many YouTube tutorials that were not affiliate links, so I trusted them more.

#### Reasons for switching to WordPress

I genuinely like the platform. There is a lot of support available. I love that I don't need to write code to have a great looking site.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

I am using both options with WordPress. I have a blog on WordPress.com for the past 15 years and I created a website on a hosted WordPress server with GoDaddy. In both cases the setup was very easy, and I was up and running in a very short time. I am a huge fan of templates.

#### Cons

The difference between the two options is frustrating. The most frustrating part for me was the missing metrics in the hosted version.

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

I chose WordPress.com over Blogger for my blog because the WordPress blogs always looked better. I chose hosted WordPress over Website Builder because I liked my design options and plug ins better.

For the price, with a little attention about security, a managed WP instance is brilliant. That way, you know the patches are always applied and you've got a suite of plugins to scale such as Woo Commerce.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 2/5

#### Pros

The best thing about WP is the choice of templates – it's massive. Creating new pages, especially for content based websites is simple. It's straightforward to adapt the design to suit your needs. It's excellent at managing posts, although news/blogs seems an old method now.

#### Cons

The constant security worries, especially from plugins. There are so many cases of WP sites being hacked, that you need to take this seriously from the outset.

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

Lower price with WP, I was concerned that Wix would continue to increase their monthly pricing

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

#### Ratings breakdown

#### 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.

#### Reasons for choosing WordPress

I did not choose WordPress. I opted to go with Wix.

I got on really well with WordPress as someone who used it for our online ordering system every day. It was simple and customers rarely had an issue placing their orders. I would use it again.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

WordPress was our website host when i first began to be involved with the back end of the website. It was simple and worked for us as a website/ webshop. Orders were easy to understand and could be quickly categorised or actioned. Pictures and updates of products were simple to action. We did not have outside IT support at this time so all issues were fixed by the WordPress team themselves.

#### Cons

Although simple and user friendly, we were limited in what we could do using WordPress as our host. This was not an issue or even apparant until we wanted to redesign our website so was not an issue at the time of using it.

Wordpress is simple on the surface, but there is a learning curve to truly understand how it works under the hood. I have considered alternatives, like Ghost and Substack, but for now, I am sticking with Wordpress. When I enabled comments on my site, I had to experiment with Akismet, settings, and snippets for a week in order to get the spam submissions under control. Something to consider, if you plan on using Wordpress and want to enable comments.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Powerful content publishing platform. Fairly easy to get started. I use it with ACF to make it easy to use custom post types, taxonomies, and fields.

#### Cons

The plugin experience, for one. So many simple things that seem like they should be built into the platform instead require a separate plugin (or snippet). With plugins, you're at the mercy of the creators and must rely on them to update their code, keep it secure, etc. I've had to swap out abandoned plugins, pay for others, and I'm always concerned about security vulnerabilities. This makes me a lot less confident about using the platform as a whole. Another thing I don't like is the API exposure. It is very hidden to the beginner, who may not realize that they are exposing their personal information, for example. This part of the platform could stand to be made much clearer.

As one of the few open source content management systems, WordPress is in a different league to other CMS options. Free to download, there is no better value for money. Since the inclusion of Gutenburg, WP has been easier to use. Woo Commerce is a fantastic plugin for ecommerce.

#### Cons

There is a frustrating bug at the moment which is affecting the scheduling of posts. The Gutenburg block system could also be improved with more sophisticated user controls.

I commissioned the creation of an ad-hoc website and the result was very good. It was a real estate website, therefore quite complicated. I added some plugins for specific features. However, I had some issues, especially because it did not allow the creation and the integration of an xml feed, which for real estate is very basic.

WordPress is very versatile and it allows the creation of a very customised website. it works with many different themes and it offers a huge variety of plugins that can be implemented to add more features. Some are free, some require a payment, but they allow to add many different features to your website.

#### Cons

I find it very complicated to use. Unlike other website builder systems that are very easy to use even without any technical knowledge (or with a minimal one). to work with WordPress I had to hire a web designer, and this of course affects the costs.

Overall Wordpress is a fantastic platform for everyone, no matter what is your skill level or budget. Gives you free themes and premium themes, same with plugins. Because it’s so big and popular I find it easy to integrate with everything. If something can’t be integrated with WP it’s not worth using. I design websites in WP and I don’t have IT background, I’m a designer and I’ve done over 700 websites without any IT support, and that’s thanks to Wordpress!

Overall solid. I’ve used it to build a few different sites over the years, including my latest projects OverLoaded and Bulgariya. It does what I need without being overly complicated, and once you know your way around themes/plugins you can move pretty fast.

#### Pros

It’s flexible. You can make basically any kind of site without much skill or experience. Even though it's so easy to use for beginners, there's a ton of room for customization as well. I personally use a ton of custom code on my site https://overloaded.ai and even run a simple webgame with a global chat. Tons of plugins, easy to tweak design, and it scales from a simple blog to a full business site.

#### Cons

Sometimes the plugins cause issues and there's no way to prepare other than making backups. Updates break stuff once in a while, which is annoying.

I started using it for my first blog, and it did seem complicated at first but later i learned more and more. I started with free templates and upgraded to better paid version. Wordpress can accommodate everything for your blog, literally everything. The price is really accessible, and descriptuions and faqs make everythign so easy. I wish they had a better support system, but for price you can't really beat it.

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.

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.
