It's also relatively user-friendly and easy to learn how to use with a bit of time and trial and error. Particularly appreciate the wide range of compatible plugins that help make programming simpler. > > **Cons**: My main dislike with wordpress is mostly related to the additional components you can choose to use as a website designer - especially themes and plugins. As wordpress is regularly updated, this can put you out of step with your plugins and theme components unless THEY are also being regularly updated, which can cause display glitches and headaches on the front end of the site. This is especially likely to happen when using plugins that aren't updated regularly or are more niche. > > I started with wordpress.com and "graduated" to using self-hosted wordpress.org within two years, and then went on to build multiple sites using various themes. ----- ### "WordPress Impresses\!" — 4.0/5 > **Darren** | *10 February 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: WordPress is easy to install, configure and maintain. The WordPress ecosystem is well supported and provides a plethora of themes and plugins. Costs range from free to low cost. WordPress is extremely flexible and SEO friendly. Being open source means there is community support, and the ability to even write your own code. > > **Cons**: Being the most popular CMS for the web, it is often the target of hackers. Once you set up a comprehensive site, there are constant updates for the platform, themes and plugins. If you aren't on top of these, broken functionality and security issues await. > > WordPress is the perfect free to low cost CMS. You can spin up a website in minutes. It caters for intial needs, and can be highly customised, with endless themes and plugins, or even your own code, to provide a solution to almost any requirement. ----- ### "The best Cost effective Web CMS on the market" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *17 December 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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 > > Positive its a great CMS and one of the best in the range of usability, cost and features ----- ### "The pressing thing about WordPress" — 4.0/5 > **Brian** | *13 February 2025* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: WordPress was monumental in helping me launch my business and website > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to learn in the beginning > > It was enjoyable and helped me creatively grow ----- ### "WordPress meets our needs" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *23 February 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, widely used and accepted and compatible with other software > > **Cons**: May need assistance from experts on some coding aspects > > Product is widely recognised and generally easy to use ----- Page: 1 / 600\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/131687/wordpress?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/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
