I can't say enough about my positive experience

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.

5 Stars for Happiness Engineer Nick Severson

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....

Not fit for purpose

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.

Fast, Professional, and Top-Quality Work!

I had an outstanding experience with the WordPress Website Builder team. They built my website in less than four days, and the final result truly exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and efficient.

They listened to what I wanted, added their expertise, and delivered a website that looks amazing and functions perfectly. I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their work and their quick turnaround time.

I would absolutely recommend them to any business owner looking for a professional, high-quality website built by a team that delivers on their promises.

The people made the experience great

The people made the experience great. They are the design team that builds beautiful Websites. But they are more than technical engineers; they are listeners genuinely interested in finding solutions for clients who are technically challenged. When they designed and rebuilt my website they didn't lose my voice. They designed each page of the site on a clean, easy-to-read canvas. Working with this WordPress Web Design Team was a pleasure. Four Words for the WordPress Design Team: Thanks and well done!

To help with that, we have a range of step-by-step resources designed specifically for non-developers, including short guides, videos, and self-paced courses that walk through common tasks and changes: https://wordpress.com/support/

Show some hands for the WordPress customer services people, because they have earned their way to the top

I want to give an applause and credit for WordPress account service and their people. They are truly there for customer. Many online services lack of this kind of immediate response and action. Professional, no-nonsense and overall performance: No-lip, get things done, fast response and immediately understanding my problem. Enough said, I know it might not work for everybody, but the attitude is there, always.

Brilliant tech support

I was having trouble logging into our site and a bunch of pages were broken. I was thinking there was a major issue. I am so little of a tech person that I didn't even know how to describe the issue. This "Happiness Engineer" logs on and fixes the first issue in like two minutes, something with "Jetpack." Then I lamely describe the second issue and he fixed it in two more minutes -- "redirects," apparently. Can't believe he could diagnose those issues so fast, let alone fix them.
