That also offers a lot of flexibility, particularly with the raft of plugins available (stores for e-commerce, galleries etc). Also easy to edit once you get the hang of it, the learning curve isn't too steep. The design choices for making your own webpage relevant to your brand is powerful also. It also makes SEO really easy to master at implementation stage. > > **Cons**: It does require constant maintenance (core system and plugin updates) but that may be the case for all CMS systems. It doesn't get in the way of day-to-day operations but you do have to consider the time in-house it will take to facilitate this (but if you want a functional website you will have to do this with anything you use). > > Really positive, invest the time to learn how to use it and you will reap the rewards. Websites are an important part of your marketing arsenal so to have this level of functionality at a free price point is really advantageous. ----- ### "A legendary platform. A 10/10 forever." — 5.0/5 > **Marko** | *20 August 2025* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We are using WordPress for more than 15 years. Despite the new platforms and technologies, WordPress managed to stay afloat and deliver exceptional (and FREE) updates on a extremely useful service. Yes, there is Figma and many other solutions but the EASE OF USE is unparalleled. You can easily build a successful website, blog etc. In a short time even with low tech skills, by using the amazing and large knowledgebase. Highly recommend and easy to adapt to any purpose. > > **Cons**: The plugins incompatibility with certain themes - but this is the side of plugins development teams. So I can't fault WordPress for almost anything much. > > 15 years and more than 80 projects successfully completed on WordPress. The most useful and unparalleled part is the vast knowledge base built around it, for years developers tinkered and built many useful plugins and addons and code well written so that we could get almost anything based on WordPress - stable and functional. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Absolutely amazing and reliable platform - sky is tour limit\!" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *14 July 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Oh, where to start\! Wordpress is amazing platform\! I can honestly say that you can do anything with it no matter the skills lever or budget. > > **Cons**: Not much really, the amount of updates is now way bigger than it used to but that is making it more save and more reliable than before. Maybe support could be better but it’s the size of the platform so possibly not realistic. > > 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\! ----- ### "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 / 601\ 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
