Create a high-quality HTML design for a web page

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?

I created a blog about my company's products using WordPress. I had some HTML experience at the start, but I was blown away by how simple it was to create. There are numerous templates available, and you may choose the one that best meets your requirements. Paid templates are quite popular. Even if you don't know HTML, you can use templates to create a great site, and WordPress offers a lot of extension and flexibility, allowing you to create your own site.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Not only is it free to use or can be accessed in a paid version, in my company I can use the business version, and it has a large worldwide user base. As a result, there are several free themes that can be used without coding and are produced and updated regularly. Specifically, we are using the Cocoon theme, it is simple to customize and can be used to create your own HP. It is likely that several themes have emerged as a result of the wide degree of WordPress customization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I'd like you to alter the editor to tighten the restrictions on how the functions may be used. I was using the previous editor before switching when a new editor appeared, however, it is quite tough to use. I grew acclimated to it, thus I feel the new editor is increasing in terms of usability, despite some editing challenges.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The time needed to create a web page with HTML and CSS has been drastically reduced. In general, you can use the theme, since you only have to update the part that needs to be changed, and the cost and time needed to build a new site have been reduced considerably. I tried to make everything as simple and brief as possible, which helped me save a lot of time. This time I could easily understand the components that needed to be changed because I selected a premium design, and they were quick to update.
