Difficult UI to navigate. WP also has several different URLs which makes the experience more cumbersome and less clear

Nick at Wordpress checks in with me regularly to make sure I’m still happy with my website. The entire team has been helpful and accessible to me, and I really appreciate all the extra care and hand-holding they’ve provided me. Additionally, I’ve had problems in the past with people who claimed to know how to build/design/manage websites and it’s so refreshing to have someone I can trust explicitly. Thank you, Wordpress!

While the timing took a bit longer than expected, the end result was outstanding. I had previously used a template and created a functional site. The Wordpress team turned it into a very professional first impression at an affordable price. I am very happy with the quality of the work and the value.

As a first time user of WordPress platform, I was confused from the start. It has little to the common sense of knowing how to navigate through the setup. Editing after posting was difficult, the layout was a scramble. It was not organized for editing of profile, with each section was confusing. The autoBot was not very helpful in helping to deliver the site as a blog that I needed.

Turned around the construction of an impressive website
Turned around the construction of an impressive website for my wife's new online ceramics business in a few days. Highly recommended, especially as it was free with an upgrade. Shows you really need an expert to do the job at the end of the day. Thank you Angelo A

I can't say enough about my positive, excellent experience with WordPress.com and their customer service reps called Happiness Engineers.
I chose the company to design and host a new website I needed to showcase and sell gemstone necklaces I make.
I signed up for WordPress business plan which comes with Help desk support. On each of my interactions I received friendly, helpful, upbeat sounding email replies that helped me understand how to implement certain features into my website.
Every Happiness Engineer was eager to help- they were genuinely happy to help me create very nice design for my website and wished for it to go into the GOOGLE universe with best success. They all sound like your supportive friends wishing you success.
Business plan also comes with onboarding sessions, planned at your time and date of choosing and a professional designer works with you at the meet up session to do some tweaks that the website will benefit from .
I have a website for a different business of mine for the last 3 years, with inadequate performance. The yearly hosting for it expires in March. I will only trust WordPress to design and host a new website as well- I trust them completely and know that all my needs at scaling my business for the next years will be fully met.
I highly recommend WordPress business plan, because the immediate, friendly, helpful interactions with Happiness Engineers are priceless support in the process of designing and launching the best website you want for your products.

I can't say enough good/great things about the assistance Happiness Engineer Nick Severson provided me during my on-boarding and follow-up sessions for the establishment & tweaking of my website, thesolesurvivingson.com.
Nick was extremely personable, patient and accommodating with this 72-year-old to get the look "just so" I wanted for the website. That Nick took the trouble to follow through after our sessions, providing videos of our online meetings as well as transcription of his notes of our sessions, is truly commendable. In addition, he provided numerous links to URLs that will be valuable to me going forward. Kudos to Nick & Kudos to WordPress for employing him. Simply fantastic....

My experience with WordPress and Fasthosts has been deeply disappointing.
I originally built a full e‑commerce site on WordPress years ago, when the platform was intuitive, stable, and genuinely user‑friendly. Unfortunately, it has now become so over‑engineered that even simple tasks turn into multi‑day battles.
Across multiple days I experienced collapsing blocks, missing styling controls, unselectable containers, theme‑locked patterns, and inconsistent behaviour that made basic work impossible. Instead of supporting me through these issues, Fasthosts repeatedly attempted to shift responsibility onto my theme or my actions — a pattern that felt dismissive, unreliable, and at times bordering on gaslighting. There was no meaningful accountability, and the “gesture of goodwill” offered after days of lost income amounted to just over £60, which felt more insulting than supportive.
In the end, I had no choice but to migrate my business website to another platform. This wasn’t a decision I took lightly, but the instability of the platform combined with extremely poor customer service left me with no confidence in continuing.
In my opinion, WordPress has become bloated, slow, unresponsive, and no longer fit for purpose — and Fasthosts’ handling of the situation only reinforced my decision to leave.

Hi there,
We’re truly sorry to hear how challenging and frustrating this situation has been, especially with the impact on your business.
We just want to clarify that WordPress is open-source software, which means it can be hosted by many different providers. The issues described seem to stem from the theme, and the hosting and support provided by Fasthosts. WordPress.com is a separate, fully managed hosting platform, and we’re not connected to Fasthosts’ services or support.
You may want to share this feedback directly with Fasthosts so it reaches the appropriate team.
We wish you every success moving forward.
