Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many consumers found the staff to be knowledgeable, patient, and helpful, often going above and beyond to assist with website building and technical issues. People appreciated the support staff's ability to quickly diagnose and fix problems, and some found the platform easy to maneuver once they understood it. However, some people were dissatisfied with the website and user experience, describing it as complicated, unintuitive, and difficult to navigate, especially for first-time users.

A few other people also felt that the platform forced the use of specific plugins and had limited options, making it less flexible than desired.

Exemplary Wordpress support

Wordpress support has truly gone above and beyond for me. What I requested for was for support to simply restore my site after it was accidentally deleted but Arun (the happiness engineer) went a step further and audited my website and gave me tips on how to optimize it and such. I wholly recommend wordpress for its wonderful support team.

Your recommendation means the world to us, and we're so glad we could turn a stressful situation into a positive experience.

Utterly useless do not recommend at all. Now been locked out of my account for 2 days to contact them you have to log into your account so obviously I cannot contact. Filled out the account recovery form 4 times they say they'll send an email but it never arrives. Contacted them on all social sites they never responded. Having to contact the bank to see if I can claim money back. Wasted my time building a website I now cannot use AVOID

It's basic but it is there

I have my site up there and I can edit the text and add images. Subs are easily taken care of, and I can see wider traffic stats. I'm disappointed that I can't for the life of me, adjust the format to be mobile screen friendly.
No idea why you're asking me for a date of my experience. This question makes no sense. My site has not existed for ONE day only. Your survey is stupid. Did someone get paid for this?

Hi Geeves,

Thank you for your feedback. Trustpilot now asks for a date of experience, but it’s fine to choose an approximate date that reflects the time you've used the service. By default, our WordPress themes are designed to scale automatically based on the device screen size. We understand that you’d like more control over the mobile layout, specifically. While we don’t have a specific timeline to share, this is a frequently requested feature, and we encourage you to stay tuned for future updates.

I’ve used WordPress for many years. For the most part it is easy and user friendly, although at times some of the plugins are confusing. However, customer support has never let me down when I ply them with my many questions.

Professional website even for non-techie people

Wordpress has made it possible for non-techie people like me to create a professional-looking website. My website looks good on any device. Wordpress has more features than I'll ever use, and provides excellent value for money.

Easy to use.

I have had the free plan for some time now, for a little personal blog. I decided to move to their paid plan to transform my blog into a business site. The pro features are pretty nice! I am no expert, but I still find it easy to use :)

good for ecommerce/business

I like the capabilities and the plugins to be used. I enjoy it a lot for my business page. my deduction of a star is because wordpress used to offer a customizable blog URL and it doesn't seem to be an option anymore which is disappointing.

Porting Old Blogs Sucks!

When porting old blogs over to your account, they come in as individual posts with no cohesion, and I have to go through all of them again and piece them together with all the dozens of pictures that I had with each article in the place that I wanted those photos to be.
It was not as advertised. I have yet to piece all those articles together from when I was in Vietnam in 2007. Nor those when I was in Cuba in 2009.

Very comprehensive website options

Very comprehensive website options. Intuitive interface, given how complex the website options were.

Plans are pricey though, probably more affordable for businesses rather than individual student hobbyists.

Hi Lucy,

Thanks so much for your feedback! We're really glad to hear you found the website options comprehensive and the interface intuitive, especially given the complexity of what's available. That's exactly what we aim for.

We hear you on pricing, especially as a student hobbyist. We do offer a free plan and lower-cost options like the Personal plan that might work better for students and individual creators. Your feedback about pricing for students is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective.
