WordPress is good for people or companies that are just beginning with websites. User-friendly and lots of supported plugins. They can also be good for more experienced developers/designers because of the same things above.

More powerful CMS options for experienced companies include Craft and ExpressionEngine. Both are open-source but allow you to customize design top to bottom with the CMS getting in the way.

WordPress is a popular platform for website creation due to a variety of benefits it offers:

1. **User-Friendly**: WordPress is known for its ease of use. You don't need to be a programmer or have extensive technical knowledge to make a website. With its intuitive interface, you can add pages, posts, images, etc. quickly and easily.

2. **Extensibility**: There are thousands of themes and plugins available (many of them free) which allow customization and extend the functionality of your website.

3. **Low Cost**: WordPress itself is free, so the most immediate costs you might have are for domain and hosting. There are plenty of inexpensive hosting services that offer one-click WordPress installations.

4. **SEO-Friendly**: WordPress is designed to be SEO friendly out of the box. Additionally, there are numerous SEO plugins available to help optimize your site and content.

5. **Strong Community Support**: WordPress has a large, active community which makes it easy to find solutions to potential issues. There are many forums, tutorials, and resources available.

6. **Flexibility**: WordPress is not just for blogs. It can be used to create a variety of websites including business sites, portfolios, forums, e-commerce stores, membership sites, and more.

7. **Update and Maintenance**: WordPress updates are regular and easy to implement, which keeps your site up to date and secure. Also, there are plugins allowing you to automate backups and site optimizations.

Comparing WordPress to .NET or Java isn't exactly a like-for-like comparison because they serve different purposes. WordPress is a content management system (CMS) which enables you to easily build, manage and maintain websites. .NET and Java are programming languages that you would use to build a website from scratch - this would require substantial coding knowledge and would be more time-consuming.

However, if you have more specific needs that require a uniquely built website or you're developing complex or enterprise-level web applications, .NET or Java might be considered. They provide greater control and customization at the code level, but this comes with the cost of longer development times, increased complexity, and often higher costs for development and maintenance.

So, the choice between WordPress, .NET, or Java will depend largely on your specific needs, your resources, and your technical capacity.


WordPress:

Multimedia Support: WordPress has excellent support for various multimedia formats. You can effortlessly embed videos and photos, podcasts, and other types of media files in your content.
Draft saving and scheduling: WordPress saves your drafts automatically, so you don't lose your work. It also allows you to schedule publications, which can be very useful for planning your content strategy.
Integrated Blog: Even if you use your WordPress site for something else like an eCommerce store, you always have a blogging platform ready to go. This makes it easy to keep a blog section active on your site, which aids in SEO and user engagement.
.NET:

Versatility: .NET provides the ability to build many different types of applications, from small, personal websites to enterprise-level web applications, mobile applications, desktop applications, gaming, IoT, and more.
Language Flexibility: .NET supports multiple languages, most notably C# and VB.NET, which means developers can choose the language they are most comfortable with.
Efficiency and Performance: The recent versions of .NET (specifically .NET Core) are designed to be incredibly fast and efficient, which can be a significant asset for high-traffic websites and applications.
Java:

Platform Independence: Java follows the principle of Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA). That means the compiled code (bytecode) can run on any platform that has a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), making it incredibly flexible.
Strong Libraries: Java has a large selection of open-source libraries, which can accelerate development time and reduce the amount of code you need to write from scratch.
Enterprise-Level: Java is often used to build large scale enterprise applications due to its reliability, scalability, and maintainability.

WordPress is open source CMS which is very easy to use for website development.
But if you want to create website using dot net and java then you must be technically qualified and should have a Good knowledge of these programming languages.
On the other hand WordPress is very much easy to use, any beginner having basic knowledge of compute and website development can easily create website using WordPress. WordPress is having lots of predefined module using that website can be easily developed.
