"Best platform for a beginner and experience candidate"
What do you like best about WordPress.org?

The efficient and predefined features as well as customisable access makes it a domain usable for a firm or a candidate with no matter what their experience. The plugin and the website extension make it only limited by the users imagination on what they can do. The system is well modelled over the years of upgrade.

What do you dislike about WordPress.org?

The system runs on older versions. The updation should integrate more features.

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

Freshers and startups who need a place in the online market can do so with minimum efforts.
