Ah yes, every web designer & developer’s favorite time of year.
The clock has struck November and Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2023 are finally here.
(Crap, this is starting to sound like a holiday jingle. Snap out of it!)
BFCM is usually the best time to snag a deal on that new plugin or piece of software that you’ve been eyeing for a while.
Whether it’s for your own website or for a client.
Most companies run a BFCM discount better than anything they offer throughout the year, so now’s the best time to get it if you’re going to get it.
HOWEVER, before you open up your wallet and notify your bank that your ‘unusual spending’ is indeed you, there’s one thing I try to remind people:
Not every product is a good product. 50% off a piece of junk is still a piece of junk.
That’s why I’m making this list a curated list instead of a master list with every deal under the sun.
These are products that I either would personally recommend or have a good reputation in the WordPress / web design community.
You’ll notice that all main deals have a label attached to them:
- NewPulse Approved = I’ve personally used the product and can vouch for its quality.
- Community Approved = I haven’t used the product, but it’s commonly recommended in the community.
- Community Submitted = I haven’t used the product, but it looks interesting or was submitted on our site.
Let’s get into this year’s best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for WordPress!
*Editor’s Note: Consider this a live document. New deals are coming out daily, so I’ll be updating this post frequently.
Some of these links may also be affiliate links. That means we may earn a small commission if you choose to buy the product. It comes at no cost to you, and is just a small way to help support the site 🙂.
🏠 Hosting
Rocket.net
Rocket.net is a newer managed WordPress hosting company that I’ve been really impressed with so far. Their Cloudflare Enterprise integration serves your website from the Edge, meaning super fast loading times regardless of where your visitors are located. I’ve found WP back-end performance to be really good with Rocket.net as well.

🧱 Website Building
Cwicly
Ok, there is no actual discount here. But sometimes the best deal is a high quality product at an already affordable price. Cwicly has become my new favorite page builder, and it’s what I used to rebuild this site. It has a fantastic developer, is tightly integrated with Gutenberg, and is one of the most powerful page builders out there. They’ve said they’ll also be increasing pricing within the next couple months, so now would be a good time to lock in if you’re looking for a new site builder.
