When you enter the marketing world and seek information about launching your website, you have probably heard about WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and many more.
But when it comes to selecting one for your own website, which one should you choose?
This blog rounds up studies on one of the top hosting platforms and one of its biggest competitors, WordPress.
A brief information on WordPress. Com vs WordPress. Org
What is WordPress? It is an open-source Content Management System that lets you enjoy freedom as a website owner. It allows you to build a customized website and host it as well.
WordPress contains many template designs that let you customize your website to fit your portfolio, blog, online store, and business.
WordPress. Com is a free and popular option to get started with setting up a basic website or blog. It offers many themes and allows free hosting as well.
WordPress. Org on the other hand, offers website owners the ability to build self-hosted websites with their own domain names. One can build any kind of website they want.
WordPress v/s Drupal
Apart from WordPress, Drupal is also a free, open-source content management system that helps one customize and develop simple as well as complex web applications.
WordPress is more about providing user-friendly sources, while Drupal requires someone who has little to no web experience.
Anyone with zero experience can use WordPress and create website designs using themes and plugins, whereas Drupal requires a little CSS, JS, HTML, etc. to get the customization done.
If you ask us which one wins this round, we might have to give it to WordPress. With its beginner-friendly functions and easy tools, it lets any new user publish their website in no time.
WordPress v/s Joomla
Joomla is a CMS that is quite similar to WordPress. It supports code such as CSS, HTML, PHP, and JS. Its backend is more technical compared to that of WordPress. Users with tech experience can use it more easily than those who don’t.
Joomla focuses on technical users, whereas WordPress is easy to use for anyone. Joomla lets you customize accordingly, but it takes an experienced person to use its functions to the fullest.
WordPress is good for bloggers and content creators so that they can publish their work; Joomla, on the other hand, isn’t centered around writing as much. Their publishing workflow isn’t as good as that of WordPress.
Therefore, we can say it’s a draw in this round between Joomla and WordPress.
