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. ----- ### "Website designing is easy with WordPress." — 5.0/5 > **Natalie** | *23 December 2025* | International Trade & Development | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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.. > > I like WordPress because it accepts you to install and run plugins of different tools with interference. ----- ### "Wordpress for Website" — 5.0/5 > **Savannah** | *11 October 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked having control over my own site. It still has to be hosted by a third party but other than that yearly fee it was very convenient and saved us money > > **Cons**: Referring to the above is the host fees. You have to pay a third party for hosting. The 1st year was relatively low but they get you when renewing and it was almost the same as paying for an ecommerce store. > > For the most part it was good. Took a bit of getting used to and watching a lot of videos online. ----- ### "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 Everything Platform for Your Website" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have full control over content, but it is organized with more structure and flexibility to appear where needed on the site. Reusable page structure templates that we can customize makes it easy for there to be consistency across the site. The template marketplace is robust and makes it easy to pick and maintain a style with all functionality handled, including robust plugin support. > > **Cons**: It can be easy to get lost in the sea of options available to customize the site. Often you may be searching "where / how to change \_\_\_\_ in WordPress" but luckily there is robust community support and documentation. Sometimes depending on who you work with to develop, they may need you to work with a seperate tool for editing (like Elementor), which adds another layer. > > WordPress is a fantastic toolbox of opportunity to customize and scale a website with consistency. While it may not be the best tool for beginners, it is very easy to self teach. ----- 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
