You’ve probably noticed that reviews are everywhere these days. You see them on just about any website dedicated to services, product sales, or entertainment.
So, it’s worth asking yourself, have you ever wanted to create an awesome review website using WordPress?
Maybe it’s for entertainment – you’re the kind of person who feels the need to share your thoughts on your favorite restaurant, movie or game – or maybe it’s for profit.
Whatever your motivation, creating a WordPress review site is affordable for even the most novice WordPress user.

You can get a review site up and running in no time, regardless of your WordPress skill level.
Creating a WordPress review site is, at least at first glance, relatively simple: you just need to choose the right theme, the right plugin, or both.
Rather than provide you with an extensive list of review options, we’ve done it for you with just a few selected themes and plugins that will allow you to create a review site.
This article looks at ways to easily create a review website. When you’re done, your 5-star site will be up and running in no time.
What to keep in mind.
Reviewing paid plugins is a matter of trust.
Obviously, when it comes to reviewing products that cost money, rely heavily on demos, as well as documentation and supporting copy.
For themes, it’s pretty easy to verify how a theme looks and works, but for plugins it’s a lot harder.
Support for Schema.org
Google loves and supports schema.org, so in fact, every review site should make sure their reviews are labeled according to Explore Schema.
If your reviews are tagged correctly, Google will display your listing in the search results along with the ranking, making it more visible:
In fact, this IMDb page is a great example of using multiple schemes, not just reviews. If you’re curious, take a look at it with the Rich Results Test.
If the schema isn’t included in a specific theme or plugin, a free plugin like our SmartCrawl can help. It comes with support for schema markup, which can help search engines make sense of your content more easily.
