The simplicity and ease of use with a WordPress site for my clients is why I recommend using WordPress to create your business website. You own your content, you can easily learn how to keep the content and blogs updated, and make changes.
Millions are using it to create blogs (which the search engines love when you add content that is related to your niche). WordPress may seem confusing at first, yet it really isn't very difficult to learn. I love teaching it to you also! Both experts and novices take advantage of WordPress' ease of use.
WordPress solves the problem of feeling like your designer or hosting person is "Holding you Hostage" because you have access to edit your site.
Do use caution when editing. If you break your site by doing something you are unfamiliar with, it will cost you to have someone help you to fix if.
