Most people turn their noses up at easy web builders like WordPress but the flexibility, ease of use and how quickly you can build fully customisable sites using templates empowers so many business. > > **Cons**: The bloat that can happen with WordPress core files, themes and alot of plugins can make the sites slower, but with careful consideration this can be overcome > > Couldnt recommend it more. If you have no web development knowledge, or if you have been doing it for years, you can very easily get to grips with WordPress to create sites. ----- ### "My go to website setup, easy to use, cheap to run" — 4.0/5 > **daniel** | *11 May 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wordpress is so versatile, its great value for money and really easy to use. Once its setup you can easily create pages, lots of layout options, themes and templates > > **Cons**: The biggest issue for us are the security updates. You always have to be running updated installs to keep your site secure and dealing with the add-ons is a pain > > its my go to web install for anything, single page, web shops, even digital displays. There is nothing you cant do ----- ### "Brilliant Website Development Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Hayden** | *3 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wordpress has made website design and editing easy for everybody, especially those with no coding experience. The interface makes all tools and pages understandable. Wordpress also contains a huge array of templates making any website design possible. > > **Cons**: My biggest concern would be the maintenance that needs to be put into WordPress. Having many plugins within the website can cause many updates otherwise the website and certain plugins can run slowly. > > Overall a positive experience. Makes maintaining and updating websites possible for any business no matter how much software experience owned. ----- ### "Quick start, very flexible but time consuming" — 4.0/5 > **Martin** | *1 February 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Essy to understand and easy to use." — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *27 February 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 600\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/131687/wordpress?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/131687/wordpress) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
