WordPress Reviews

I liked the affordability of WordPress as my first website builder for my blog.

I believe that WordPress is a bit outdated in design and that there are more modern alternatives out there.

I liked that Wordpress was very user friendly. It was simple to set up and understand.

What I liked least about Wordpress was you needed to have an entire game plan otherwise it is a very simple blog site.

I love that it has no limitations. Wordpress gives you the option to add plugins and themes to truely make your website your own and a unique experience.

Can be tricky to customise at first. There are many tricks you learn by using the software over time. Can be quite daunting at first as of where to start or how to edit minor details.

Easy to use open source platform that is cheap and easy to run and host, great for a diverse range of projects and use cases.

There are a lot of things that you don't learn out of the box with a focus on the areas of security and maintenance / backups that requires the user to do more research into

Great for SEO and setting up but not always easy to do automations with and using certain themes.

Making WordPress work like I want or expect to is something that happens after buying a domain and setting up a site.

So many ready to use templates to create a website.

Sometimes, too many restrictions to customize the website using a template or too simple.

Customization is the best part of using WordPress, it has many useful plugins that can help with on page SEO management or website loading speed. These also can help add more functions to your setup to create a powerful platform. Themes are another aspect that needs to be mentioned, these are easy to setup and can change the whole website without any design and programing skills.

Choosing the wright host is a must as it can get slow.

I have been creating websites with WordPress since the beginning of my business. It’s an intuitive, user-friendly, and fully customizable platform. It evolves with my activity and allows me to integrate whatever I want. I have been completely satisfied with it for several years and wouldn’t change my tool for anything in the world.

It took some time to get familiar with all the tools offered by WordPress and to make it fully customized. The setup can sometimes be a bit complicated, but there’s always a tutorial somewhere to help us out.

The most I like that you have a lot of options in terms of themes and plugins. With certain themes I can transform my WordPress setup into a powerful platform for my needs. Themes saves you a lot of time and money with the design and plugins can add a lot of useful functionalities.

There are no things I dislike and worth mentioning.

ease of use; variety of plugins; flexibility; cost

the new standard editor; default plugins; dashboard

It has a user-friendly interface, good flexibility/customization, a large plugin library, and mobile responsiveness. Ease of use is a major factor. WordPress offers a simple, intuitive dashboard that allows even non-technical users to manage their website, create posts, and update content without developer or coding knowledge.

Although the large library pf plugins is nice to have, there can be conflict which can cause your site to slow or even break. Depending on how many plugins you install and the complexity of your site, WordPress can become resource-intensive, causing slow load times. There also always seem to be a lot of updates required.

Uploading content is still easy on WP and if you have a good dev build an easy to use and simply designed site, it can be a great option for people just looking to change copy and upload blogs or template pages.

Plug-ins help simplify what might be complex for new users such as analytics, tag manager or other integrations, and linking it with things such as Mailchimp and other services is easy.

Designing on WP is clunky and feels 10 years out of date now. Whilst templates can help - making design amendments or customising blocks feels like running the risk of breaking a theme- and unless you are a front end developer and marketer, is too much of an investment of time

Drag and drop editing is not intuitive (unless you have an excellent dev built theme) and you often have to lean on plugins to do jobs that are easy on other platforms.

Creating modern, interactive sites that are also easy to amend and add to is too complicated and often not possible.

Interactive elements feel like adding PowerPoint animations to your website often and take far longer than other platforms to build and test

The ability to utilise predesigned templates that are editable as well as drag and drop design themes such as elementor makes this incredibly user friendly even for non coders.

Sometimes needing paid plugins to use basic features.

When it comes to customizability Wordpress is top notch. I can easyly update information on the website without any programing knowledge.
When i think of Wordpress i think of many themes easy to install and customize, many plugins that helps with security, speed and SEO. The administration area of Wordpress is easy to use and intuitive, making updates on the website is easy and fast.

For best performance a good host (usually a little expensive) is needed.

WordPress makes it a breeze to create and design websites.
Content publishing and blog posting are other crucial aspects.

I acquire everything I yearn for on a daily basis.

The fact that it's is an open-source platform and can be self-hosted (.org), it gives the flexibility to do just about any type of website build.

WordPress requires regular software updates which left unattended can lead it to become vulnerable to online attacks.
