Yes, you’re right, we are going to write about it. If more accurate, there we will compare WordPress which is the world’s #1 CMS and HTML, which is a markup language.
What is the difference?
As it was already mentioned, WP is a CMS and HTML is a markup language. Naturally, it also strongly depends on how and what you want to use your website for .
All the CMS “juice” is that it already has a catalog of a limited amount of themes, addons, and room for admin. Website platforms offer you that needed
HTML, on the contrary, requires more profound programming knowledge. Here you make all the music by yourself. Everything, including the features above which are provided by CMS, should be written in HTML code. On the other side, it’s not so bad, since it gives a larger room for you or your client’s whims and customization.
Where Does WP Win?
Simplicity and usability matter
We’ll be straight. WP is more popular (nearly 16m of websites globally run on WP ). Why is it so? Because of its simplicity. The user-friendly interface lets you manage your website all the way you want. Even the
You can add, change, delete something with no necessary coding language knowledge, using only the right buttons. WP keeps the dynamism of your website.
Speed
After a 5 minute installation, you can start building a website, adding all the needed plugins and themes.There are lots of themes (4k+) which you’re able to choose and then change seamlessly.
Adding plugins (45k+) will help your website stand firmly and get multifunctionality.
Updating a WP website won’t be a problem. It’s all way smoothly automated with the clicking of “Update” button.
Sociability
Open Source software – this decides everything. That’s why WP is always improving, and something new is regularly added here. A large community of web developers and highly experienced people in using WP can point to any flaws and make contributions. In fact, it’s possible for anyone to provide a needed help or tip on the spot.
Plugins
Addons in WP are in the first place if you care for safety, performance, rankings and other juicy stuffing for your website.

Where Does HTML Win?
Randomness
Since HTML is a markup language, it allows you create literally your own universe. With the help of coding, it’s possible to add features which CMSs lack. Admin’s background, templates, content, posts, everything of these can be modified.
Stability
Once you’ve built your website with all the bells and whistles, there’s no need to maintain it somehow furtherly. HTML is a perfect solution for static sites when the contents should remain unchanged.
Expenditure
To run a website, you should forecast the expenses it will take. When it comes to themes, HTML themes are 10-20$ cheaper than those of WP (45$-60$ =average price per theme).
The same concerns hosting. As you know, WP requires hosting which supports MySQL Database and PHP. It’s not a problem for hosting providing companies if you have enough money.
HTML doesn’t require MySQL Database and/or PHP. So you can look for cheaper hosting services.
