What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

When creating the company's homepage, I was looking for a CMS that would allow even a person with little knowledge to create something with a high degree of perfection. I chose WordPress among the many contents because it is widely used around the world and the word of mouth that even beginners can easily create an attractive homepage is appealing. When I actually started creating it, I felt that, thanks to the user interface that even people without knowledge or experience can work without resistance, I was able to create consistently good things, albeit fumbling through various trials and errors.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am very grateful to be able to build pages intuitively without any knowledge. Not only is it easy, but if you can touch CSS, you can achieve even more advanced content, which is a great attraction of WordPress. It's a friendly and encouraging CMS for beginners and a convenient and versatile CMS for advanced users. Needless to say, it is important to open the door and develop business in modern times, so the advantage that can be gained by using WordPress is very great. It is also important that the existence of a proper homepage leads to the credibility of the company.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is a big difference between what you can and cannot do for each topic, and the amount of topics is quite large, so it is difficult to find a topic that suits your purpose.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You can create a homepage with more than enough quality even with a free theme. Even if you are not satisfied, you can upgrade it further by studying CSS and considering the use of paid themes. Not only the atmosphere of the site design, but also the specifications, such as effective plugins and compatibility with mobile devices, are important, so it is quite useful. I think the most important point is that by creating an attractive home page, even a small business can have a strong presence. The number of inquiries has increased and the opportunities to contact customers have increased considerably.
