After looking at a few sources, the most important where I got my information from are this two : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRqJxDLOY4E ; https://www.wpbeginner.com/opinion/the-ultimate-wordpress-review-is-it-the-best-choice-for-your-website/ .
====== WordPress ======
Wordpress.com is pretty much wordpress.org + domain & hosting, but wordpress.com is not recommended because of its limitations : can't monetize with ads; can't upload plugins or customizable theme; you have to use their domain name
[https://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/divi/ Divi] is the most popular Wordpress theme for businesses and a page builder that can be easily used by beginners.
<u>Pros</u>
-no coding
- 41% of all websites on the internet use WordPress.org
- great flexibility : online store, auction site, blog
- thoushands of free wordpress themes
- over 58,000 free plugins (work like apps )- the most that any CMS offers
- very SEO friendly
- supportive community - 75k members on Facebook group
- cheap hosting
<u>Cons</u>
- you have to manage security and backups yourself, but can be made easy using a good hosting provider they are keeping backups of your website. You can also install security plugins.
====== Joomla ======
<u>Pros</u>
- flexibility
<u>Cons</u>
- complex
====== Drupal ======
<u>Pros</u>
- offers great flexibility
Easy to add content if you know what you're doing, but it's not beginner friendly
<u>Cons</u>
- 1% of all websites are using it
- devs that you would hire would cost a lot more than Wordpress devs
- mainly used for complicated sites
====== Wix ======
<u>Pros</u>
- has a limited free plan
- beginner friendly
Cons
- for free version you have 1. Wix branded domain 2.They show ads on your site
- once you choose a template you can't change to a different one, unless you rebuild the whole website. On WordPress you can change the theme and be left with most of the content the way it was
- not too easy to migrate data from Wix
- only 1.5% of all websites
