What is your favorite aspect of this product?

What I like the most is WordPress is thoroughly free you need to pay for the domain and hosting that's it.

I would recommend using WordPress when you are building a website from scratch as it is easy to set up the landing page of your website. Building websites with WordPress results in being easy to build and looking professional.

I personally use WordPress for the last 3 years and it is easy to deploy and deliver websites in a faster pace.
