"Free and Easy to build a professional website without coding"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

WordPress is a free and open source to use. We can install it with one click on the server. The best thing is that it has many third-party plugins, making the work easier and faster. There is no complexity in UI Design. It has an excellent URL structure in comparison to a blogger. If you know some coding, then you can customize it easily as per your need.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

There is only one thing which irritating is its vulnerability. Attackers always try to log in, which locks the login page. But we can solve it using 3rd party plugins, so it is ok.

What problems is WordPress.org solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using WordPress to manage my client's website. WordPress has so many plugins which help in maintaining the website easily and automate the work as well. WordPress provides the best SEO to rankup your website.
