Why WordPress?
I use WordPress because it’s the platform that gives the most amount of flexbility, without holding you to a system. There’s a massive community supporting WordPress, so there’s always an option to get what you want, even if it’s a steep learning curve.
Wix and Weebly are amazing, and if you need a simple site, they’re potentially the better options (so you don’t need me). If you’re good with their options, definitely use them.
If you need a blog (which isn’t Weebly’s strength), or a framework to guide where things go (Wix’s 100% design flexibility means you need to be good at visual balance and have an eye for aesthetics), then WordPress is the way to go.
And because I’ll be keeping an eye on the website for a year, you can focus on creating content to post.
If you need support with content creation, I can write your content too.
