Wordpress - easy to Make

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

Wordpress.com is very user-friendly platform, even for new users. It is affordable and provides customisation. It provides built-in drag and drop editor, a built-in blog, and a variety of themes and plugins.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite aspect of this product is customisation, drag and drop feature. It is affordable and support system is too good.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Wordpress.com don't provide access to underlying code, this limits the customisation of code. Also, it owns website data, it can delete or modify one's website at any time. Wordpress.com premium is too costly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Overall, Wordpress.com is good platform to learn and try colour combinations for own website, it provides simple drag and drop. But when one want to change in code, it is not possible in wordpress.com. Also, it can change one's website any time. So, one can try this for learning basis not for dependable.
