I have used wordpress before and it is an easy option to make a quick website. However, you have less direct control over the website and with some of the themes you use, the person who made it has there logo at the bottom which is kind of annoying. Creating an entite website from scratch takes a lot of time, but you have an original page that’s perfectly fit to your liking(assuming that you know how to do everything you want to make) So if you just need a quick page, then use wordpress. Otherwise, its better to make it from scratch. In the end: Wordpress: Pros: Easy to use; Quick to set up, you can have a functional site set up in 5-10 minutes; Great library of free addons to help your site; Cons: Less control of the specifics of your page; Since other people make the themes and addons, you may be constantly annoyed by their never ending ads and sometimes they have a footer with their logo or somthing; Html, Css, Javascript, etc.: Pros: Control over what goes into the page since you made it yourself; No ads or branding by other people; The satisfaction of you making the page by yourself (or with your team); Cons: Very Time-consuming, can take from 1 hour to many days to make a functional site I hope this helps! 😁
