What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

WordPress.com is one of the most powerful blogging platforms there are. I specifically used the term blogging platform, as for website product creation, WordPress.org would be your go to solution. WordPress.com can easily enable you to create simple, astonishing website presentations in a matter of minutes, without any previous knowledge of coding or website development. It is as easy at it can get.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

If you need a truly simple website presentation, without unclear pricing structure or high associated costs, WordPress.com is fantastic. It provides you with a user-friendly WYSIWYG editor for creating and publishing your content, without the hassle of setting up servers, domains, templates or content management systems.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Since it still is the younger brother of WordPress.org, for some users, it can be lacking some crucial features. If you develop a web on WordPress.com and want to switch to the more sophisticated WordPress.org, you will definitely encounter some initial struggles.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Actually think about what you want from this product. If you need a truly simple, probably not that unique but efficient, website presentation, this is your product. If you need a complicated website, think about other solutions as well.

Pros
