My number one priority is making sure you feel confident making edits to your website on your own! Every new software you’ve never used before will have a learning curve so I’m not going to say it’s extremely easy right off the bat. But once you’ve watched all of the lessons & tried out all of WordPress’s features, you’ll end up having so much fun! It’s nothing compared to other complex softwares out there that require coding to get the look you’re wanting. I’ve used them all, and recommend WordPress for DIY’ers & beginners! The design you see in the live demo is exactly what you get, so no starting from scratch! Templates are perfect starting points to getting a new website design.
