La plataforma me permitió personalizar el diseño y añadir funcionalidades específicas con facilidad, aunque ocasionalmente tuve que mirar tutoriales o consultar foros para aprender. Pros La principal ventaja es su facilidad de uso, ya que me parece intuitivo para principiantes, con una curva de aprendizaje moderada. Hay una gran comunidad de soporte, hay muchos recursos en Internet, foros y tutoriales disponibles. Por último, hay una amplia gama de temas y plugins que permite crear sitios únicos y funcionales. Cons Una desventaja que he experimentado es que hay actualizaciones frecuentes y esto puede ocasionar conflictos con plugins y temas, lo que puede interrumpir el funcionamiento del sitio. Además el rendimiento puede ser un problema porque si tu sitio web contiene muchos plugins o temas pesados puede volverse lento. Sobre la seguridad, si no tiene pones las medidas adecuadas, puede ser vulnerable a ataques debido a su popularidad.
