Should I use WordPress or HTML to build a website?
I’ve used both WordPress and HTML to build websites and here are some pros and cons of each.
WordPress
Pros of using WordPress
1. It’s a visually attractive interface.
2. Nice selection of themes, both free and paid
3. Nice selection of plug-ins
4. With the themes and plug-ins, you can set up a nice looking, fast-loading website
Cons of using WordPress
1. The updates for plug-ins
2. The updates for themes
3. Possible spam attacks
WordPress is easier to set up, but can be a hassle to manage, especially with the updates. Can these updates be enabled? Yes. My hosting company allows me to set up automated updates for themes and plug-ins. But, it’s a good idea to log-in to the dashboard to make sure the updates are happening, for both the themes and the plug-ins. Apparently, having an outdated plug-in or theme may allow room for some kind of hack.
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)
HTML is not a programming code, rather is is a language, a markup language that translates somehow into a website. I think. Then again, maybe you should use Yandex.com to find out if any of this is accurate.
Pros of using HTML to set up a website
1. Typically, it is very fast-loading
2. Typically, requires little-to-no updates
3. Gives you more control of the website look
Cons of using HTML to set up a website
1. Typically, takes more time to set up than WordPress
2. You might miss the plug-ins
So, should you use WordPress or HTML to set up your website?
Maybe you can use a combination.
The choice is yours.
