"Best and Easiest Website Builder for Blogs and Business"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I like that WordPress.com is easy to use even if you don’t know coding. It has many ready-made themes and plugins to build any type of site. It is good for blogs, small business sites, and landing pages. It also works well with other tools like Mailchimp and social media, which saves time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

Sometimes it can be confusing to find the right plugin or theme. Also, some features need paid plans. It would be better if more options were free for small websites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"WordPress the best platform for Bloggers"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I have been using WordPress for close to 7 years now. That's when I had launched my travel blog "Travels With Passion". I first tried their free version for few weeks and then moved to their Business Plan. Since then my blog has progressed in leaps and bounds and today has large number of subscribers from around the world. What I love most is their technical support which is just outstanding. In addition the platform is very user friendly. And the SEO support through All in one SEO is a great feature and so are the numerous free plug-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

"A Solid Website Builder for Bloggers"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

I've been using WordPress.com for about a year now to manage my blog and a small business site. Overall, it's been a smooth experience with a few trade-offs depending on my goals. One of the best things about WordPress.com is that it handles all the technical maintenance, from security to backups and updates. This gives peace of mind, especially for users who don’t want to deal with the backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

In terms of pricing, WordPress.com can get expensive. While the free version is great to start with, serious users often need to upgrade for essential features like custom domains, premium support, or access to plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Powerful and Flexible CMS for Website Management"
What do you like best about WordPress.com?

WordPress is an incredibly easy to use and versatile platform that allows myself and other PTSEM members to build and update sites very easily. At Princeton Theological Seminary, we use WordPress to manage and publish content on our main website, thanks to its user-friendly interface. I also am in the process of building out content from a lot of our subsites, which is made way easier through WordPress's extensive use of templates and plugins. The ability to create custom post types, and integrate SEO tools has been especially helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WordPress.com?

While WordPress is powerful, and the use of themes can be very helpful, sometimes the rigidity of those themes can end up hamstringing our process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
