We know this platform is in the spotlight, but the cameras haven’t quite rolled on our official review just yet. We’ve caught glimpses of its feature set—enough to recognize how it might fit into a marketing tech stack—but rather than improvising a shaky first impression, we prefer to spend time doing a thorough review—no early teasers that miss the mark.

If you’re already working with this platform or just considering it, we’re happy to share initial thoughts from similar tools we’ve tested and help you decide if it’s ready for a supporting role or a leading part.

Founder's Take

"WordPress reminds me of that friend who’s always around and can do a bit of everything, but might not be the best at any one thing. It’s still the go-to for folks wanting a user-friendly CMS, and if you’ve ever spun up a blog, you’ve likely used it. It’s super flexible, though things can get wonky if you let plugins run wild, and performance can dip fast. Still, for smaller, static sites or quick event pages, it’s a familiar and approachable option—just watch out if you need heavier ecommerce or complex product backends."

Why it's used

WordPress has been around since the days when blogging was the new frontier, and over time it’s evolved into a full CMS with a massive ecosystem of plugins and themes. There’s a big community that keeps it moving forward, so you can almost always find a solution for whatever weird request pops up—if you’re willing to dig through the plugin library. Because it’s open source, you’re not paying upfront for a license, but you do take on the responsibility of maintaining, updating, and troubleshooting it yourself (or hiring someone to do it). It’s mostly great for static sites or smaller projects, like an event page where you need a quick turnaround and don’t want to invest in a pricier commercial CMS. If your main site needs advanced ecommerce capabilities or ties into a product backend, WordPress can feel like you’re constantly patching holes in a boat that wasn’t meant to handle that big of a voyage. Even so, there are plenty of teams out there who swear by WordPress for managing day-to-day content updates, especially when speed and budget are tight.
