I highly recommend hosting your own sites on your own servers. WordPress.com is great, but you don’t have full control over it. At any time they can delete your site. It’s in their TOS. Might want to take a look at WordPress’s TOS.

Yeah, I haven’t touched DreamWeaver in over 10 years now. I believe their “Creative Suite” is over $500. Which I feel is very high and isn’t the best option for developing dynamic sites. The WordPress CMS is free and there are a lot of free themes, plugins, etc. for it. Clearly, it’s a better option and I am so glad to be using it.

It actually makes developing websites fun!

Also, it might be worth it to get a premium theme for WordPress if you’re new to designing websites. They can walk you through any kind of changes you might need. Also, they usually just provide custom CSS that you might need. Therefore, you don’t have to know any CSS or coding. That is always a big pro to using premium WordPress themes.

I agree. Haven’t ever used DreamWeaver since I started using WordPress.

Funny, I tried to learn Dreamweaver once and gave up. Glad I did!

I think one thing to be added is the fact that someone who knows coding & CSS can add it to their WordPress site. You’re not stuck with the developer’s options only. Of course, that can get risky for a novice.

WordPress can make a person crazy sometimes, quirky little things to figure out. But for the most part, I really love it, and I’m glad to use it for my sites.

I tried for a few months to build a website and finally quit. I knew if I waited long enough something better would come along. It did, in the name of Word Press. I love the ease of it. I still am learning. Thank you so much for all this valuable information. I have bookmarked your site to come back to.

I am fairly new to WordPress so reading articles like yours help a lot. WordPress is the only platform I’ve used so far so I can’t really compare it to others but what you have described is exactly how WordPress is. Information like this is what I need.
Thank you for sharing

But, I do have a question for you. Do you recommend self-hosted WordPress sites or using WordPress.com

I also think checking out all the different themes both paid and unpaid are worth looking into simply because they can really make your site stand out if you pick the right one. You have a lot of useful information on here that anyone looking to start a blog or website on WordPress can use. Well written and informative article here!

I will always choose this anytime because it saves time and is very convenient for someone who wants to set up his website based on the theme of his niche (since WordPress provides themes that are in line with your niche. WordPress will always be my number one choice and your article just solidified my stance. Nice one!
