What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress is an open-source CMS that I can modify as I like. I do like how I can modify the PHP/CSS/Javascript codes inside any theme. It's easy to customize and design. There are more CMS in the market but a lot of them doesn't have good user-friendly customization tool or code modify options. This is why I love WordPress more than anything.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Like I said I love how I can edit or modify the PHP/CSS/Javascript code inside any theme. It's easy to create a website that doesn't know coding using a theme and plugins.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I like most out of it except the security feature. WordPress has a long relationship with news for low-security options. Yes, it can be improved by some additional work but WordPress should take care more.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are a web designer or don't know any code you can simply create a website using WordPress. They are free but can be purchase with a plan to expand the features. So, if you want a nice looking website with ease of access then you can try it out :)

Pros

Helps Innovate
