You can use plugins to make a website fit to any business, and there is so much that can be done with the tools that are available. The CMS is also easy to pick up and use, and we have had new starters be able to edit and amend websites quickly with little prior knowledge. > > **Cons**: The editor is great to use for most amendments, such as text changes, but it would be great if there were even more tools added to allow for more flexibility with design. > > We have been using WordPress for many years on a number of different websites and have always found it intuitive and easy to use. There is always so much that you can do by using extra plugins, and even with the default editors, it allows for flexibility with any website. ----- ### "Flexible, easy and empowers business." — 5.0/5 > **Jordan** | *16 April 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How far you can push it. 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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "In a league of its own" — 4.0/5 > **Neil** | *25 August 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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 run over 20 WordPress websites, and there is no doubt that Automattic is one of the greatest forces behind the democratisation of the internet. I recommend the GeneratePress template for a clean, flexible build. ----- 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
