What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress is one of the OGs in website building and content management. The amount of templates and plugins you have is pretty much unmatched. In terms of value (cost and capabilities), customization, and scalability, WordPress is pretty hard to beat. You get a better UX and UI experience on this platform. Also, it has a large community for support.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's easy to manage content and scale up as your business grows. The amount of themes and plugins gives me the best options for customization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The marketplace could be cleaned up to remove plugins that are outdated or not working properly. They also need more advanced security features, not just plug-ins but within their platform itself to deter hacking.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a good option for easy setup and customization. Take a look at some of the YouTube tutorials, just make sure you filter them by upload date/year to get the latest information. It's definitely worth a try.
