“Chose it because we can leave”
Used weekly for 1–2 years
After being trapped on a proprietary builder for three years, portability became a hard requirement. WordPress exports a real file that any host imports. We may never use it, and knowing we can changed the risk calculation entirely.
Pros
No lock-in. Enormous ecosystem. Backups and updates handled.
Cons
Took longer to look good than Squarespace would have. Two plugins conflicted and cost me an evening.
