Good basic value and creates a good design as well. > > **Cons**: Overwhelming at first with a deep learning curve as it can be frustrating. Needed to pay for people to assist rather than DIY. > > Great choice for long term flexibility and takes time and patience to learn and may need support if you aren't tech savvy. ----- ### "The best website design tool is also incredible value for money." — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *20 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Wordpress - Our Sales Team" — 5.0/5 > **Keith** | *19 March 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wordpress continues to provide good service, automatic updates and flawless up-time performance and reports. > > **Cons**: Templates are not as flexible or modern looking as we would like. To move from one template to another seems cumbersome and time consuming. > > We continue to see good to excellent performance and customer comments have been positive with the exception of how page layout is vertical (scroll) and lengthy. ----- ### "We left Wordpress for a simpler website building platform" — 2.0/5 > **Deborah** | *25 November 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We left Wordpress for a website builder that offers more customer support and had better security features. > > **Cons**: We hated having to manage all the widgets on the backend to add any features to our website. We also worried about the security issues for hackers to have access to our site between the templates and all of the widgets we had to use to make our site function it left a lot of vulnerable points. Also, it was hard to make the site look clean with the template we used and it was clunky to add simple updates. > > We found that Wordpress was difficult to use on the backend as someone with limited coding experience it was hard to make things look good on the front end and I was always afraid of breaking a feature by inserting the wrong code. ----- ### "The Classic is still the best" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *12 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wordpress is a well priced and feature rich suite for website design and page editing. It has been a trusted name in web design for many years and is so widely used, that it's almost synonymous with web creation. Wordpress has a bit of a learning curve compared to some of its competitor, but that curve lends itself to being far more powerful. There is a huge community dedicated to web design and template creation to support you when you need help. > > **Cons**: Official customer support isn't as dedicated as the forums and industry-led community itself. Wordpress isn't designed for beginners. If you're going to learn this powerful tool, you need to put the time in. > > Wordpress has allowed me to create and update a wonderful website for my company. The plug-ins alone provide anything you can of to really make your website shine and serve any purpose that you can imagine. When learning how to use Wordpress, just remember to stick to it and lean on the broader community to help support you. ----- Page: 1 / 600\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/160915/wordpress?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/160915/wordpress) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
