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. ----- ### "The Best CMS All-Around" — 5.0/5 > **Micah** | *14 August 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how you can build any kind of website, simple or complex on one platform that has endless plugins and integration ability. > > **Cons**: parts of wordpress are a little dated, especially the UI can sometimes leave you wanting more when compared to other newer website builders. > > I love it, I have been using it for over 10 years. There is a reason it is the most used website platform / CMS ----- ### "Flexible, Scalable, and Powerful CMS for Modern Web Development" — 5.0/5 > **Salman** | *17 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely versatile open-source CMS with an extensive ecosystem of plugins and themes. It allows rapid website development, custom theme integration, easy content updates, and strong SEO optimization capabilities out of the box. > > **Cons**: Plugin compatibility issues and security vulnerabilities can arise if updates aren't properly managed. It requires regular maintenance, caching configuration, and performance tuning for high-traffic sites. > > WordPress has been our go-to CMS for client projects and agency web builds. Its flexibility allows us to build everything from standard business sites to highly customized, high-performance web platforms. ----- ### "We left Wordpress for a simpler website building platform" — 2.0/5 > **Deborah** | *25 November 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: We left Wordpress for a website builder that offers more customer support and had better security features. > > **Cons**: We hated having to manage all the widgets on the backend to add any features to our website. We also worried about the security issues for hackers to have access to our site between the templates and all of the widgets we had to use to make our site function it left a lot of vulnerable points. Also, it was hard to make the site look clean with the template we used and it was clunky to add simple updates. > > We found that Wordpress was difficult to use on the backend as someone with limited coding experience it was hard to make things look good on the front end and I was always afraid of breaking a feature by inserting the wrong code. ----- Page: 1 / 601\ 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
