Selecting Wordpress, you can do whatever you need to. You're not tied to any third party platforms or technology. > > **Cons**: Since the software itself is free, you would think it would be low cost, but your cost comes in the developer time. However, if you take the time to educate yourself you can minimize that and buy developer time wisely. > > I am a longtime small business owner. I have used both third party platforms and wordpress and love wordpress. It is user friendly so it is easy to ramp up your own skills, both so you can be an educated buyer of website services and so you can make some changes on your own. But by choosing wordpress you know you have flexibility and capabilities you need so you won't run into large issues. ----- ### "Free and many templates on offer\!" — 5.0/5 > **Phillip** | *17 January 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Probably one of the oldest website CMS systems, therefore so much support, plugins and templates are on offer, many of them free\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes when upgrading WordPress, it breaks some plugins which can be annoying to fix. ----- ### "Wordpress is our go to website platform" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *25 April 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Wordpress is probably one of the easiest website platforms to use. User friendly and has tons of great plugins to accommodate all types of services and functions. > > **Cons**: We tend to get a lot of spam comments, there are apps to filter them but they still manage to get though. > > We use Wordpress for all of our websites as they have a good light SEO friendly structure and easy to use dashboard. ----- ### "Cool for building websites if you don’t know how to code" — 4.0/5 > **Alicia** | *1 May 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy is and also is well integrated with other tools. Even if you don’t know how to code, you can built a website for free. The mobile experience is also nice. Their plugin library is amazing. > > **Cons**: It could be quite confusing for a programmer because I couldn’t find the settings I wanted to change. With codes is easier. > > My client asked me to use Wordpress for their website and online store and it was an adventure. I usually use php, css, html to create sections and craft a beautiful website. But this time I used Wordpress with other plugins and it saved me a lot of time because their visual layout was nice. Click and drop. The main learning curve was finding where to add these code snippets or personalized css. But there’s a lot of information and tutorials so was quite easy. ----- ### "Feels a little old school\!" — 3.0/5 > **Kate** | *3 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's the old school option for website building, trusted and used by many. There are also a lot of skins available for design at cheap prices. > > **Cons**: It's just too behind when it comes to the updates in online website building these days. I felt like I was working on my blog back in 2013 rather than building a professional website. > > It's not really changed in years which is probably a good thing for some people but I think there are slicker, cheaper, easier to use options out there now. ----- Page: 1 / 600\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/131687/wordpress?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/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
