If you are making a site for yourself, that's one thing -- potentially a good opportunity to learn something new or experiment. If you are making a site for others, going with something like Wordpress that will save you time, has a strong user community and should be relatively bug free might make more sense.

Wordpress is nice because your client can take care of some of the content entry/updating themselves, without knowledge of HTML. Saves you time, since you don't have to do that for them, and saves them money.

I wouldn't say that plugins need "constant updating", but yes, they will need the occasional update (a couple times a year?). Still, probably you will spend less time keeping Wordpress updated than you would doing all of the client's updates by hand.

Is it better as a web designer to create standard HTML sites or Wordpress sites for business clients? It looks like Wordpress is gaining momentum but I am also hearing that they need regular maintenance such as when plugins need constant updating.

Is this an issue for any Wordpress designers out there?

Looking for feedback
