I perosnally prefer using Wordpress for my websites. I use some business wordpress themes from https://www.templatemonster.com/category/business-wordpress-themes/ and they always work nicely for me. What are your thoughts on it, guys? Do you like it?

Hi Christina,
Both platforms can deliver beautiful looking websites and both are easy to use.
However, both have limitations, and in the case of Wordpress, you have the option of a wordpress-hosted option on wordpress.com or a self-hosted option on your own server. The self-hosted option is more work to set up, but it gives you more flexibility and control. This is great for starting small and growing to something more complex over time.
However, in my view, these are not the most important considerations.
I think the specific goals and objectives of what you want to accomplish with your website should drive the selection of the technology. If I were you, I would lay out what I want my initial site to include in terms of features and functions, as well as identify what I want my site to expand to in the future.
Based on those business requirements, I would then make a selection. To help me choose which platform to use, I would take my current and future requirements to one or more professional web developers and seek their opinion.
Having said that, even self-hosted WordPress is not the "be-all and end-all" option for all websites. I've seen cases where a content management system like Joomla or Drupal is the best choice. It all comes down to your requirements.

I would go with wordpress because of a lot of reason...1. It is free and you can do it your self just got to have a little background in the computer world.
2. It gets pluggins like crazy which are design by users.
or try Joomla its well supported and kinda the same as wordpress

Hi !! Both application use for (CMS) Content Management Section for websites. If you are thinking powerful options and elegant designs then I would like to suggest `SquareSpace`. You’ll lose some capabilities but maybe they’re not important for your. All the basic stuff is there. Other hand I would like to say Wordpress is also leading content management frame for CMS website creation.
Here, in feature & functionality you will find more option for work.
Thanks for your consideration.
Best,

I would recommend you WordPress. It's a user friendly and even customization is very easy for beginners too. WP is free online tool for creating simple website or blog.
Thank you, Jeff. I'm laying out content now and was trying to save some money by doing it myself. If wordpress becomes to challenging, I may see a professional web developer.
Thanks again.
