Looking into open source website builders like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal?  Being open source, they are free - but unless you know web programming most of the time you will find you will have to pay for a web designer, web developer, or even web programmer to create your website the way you want it.  To make your website have the features you want you will have to download and integrate third party plugins - which you may have to pay extra for - rather than use built-in apps.  This can threaten your website security, and also make upgrading your website software harder - perhaps even break some of your website functionalities due to necessary software upgrades as the plugins weren't designed together.
WordPress is great as a blogging tool to integrate into your website - it is in fact the platform used for the blogging app in Ultimate Web Builder software. But with a lot of plugins used to make WordPress as the engine for your entire website, it can increase your webpage load time greatly, while still not offering the flexibility that Ultimate Web Builder software does.
Quick Points:
Open Source, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal - Customizations require coding experience, added functionalities/apps require third party plugins that can affect your website security, extra cost, and make upgrading your website harder
