There is a great debate between WordPress designers and those who write special HTML code to create a website.
Using HTML (hyper text markup language) means you’ll design the look and the functionality of your website using a special coding language.
The biggest plus for using WordPress to build your website is it’s versatility and it’s ability to easily allow you to manage your content. With WordPress you use a visual builder to design and create the functionality of the website.
Just a Note on WordPress vs HTML
It’s kind of like right brain and left brain people.
Those who are left brained are more analytical and think more in logical terms while right brained excel in the visual area.
