Seasons Greetings to all - Can either Wordpress.com & Wordpress.org be used to build a good website

Can either Wordpress.com & Wordpress.org be used to build a good website as good or nearly as good as Dreamweaver , Frontpage or another site building software ?

I should also mention it will be a content website , creative & very easy for a person who is a beginner to build as well as have many ways in which it can be monetized.

Wordpress is a publishing tool NOT a design tool. Dreamweaver and Frontpage are development tools.

The design truly starts life in a graphics tool and if your design starts off crappy there, it will look just as bad whether you convert it into a Wordpress, Dreamweaver or Frontpage template or even manually code it into a HTML layout.

So in saying that for a creative/artistic person would you use wordpress / dreamweaver or similar OR wordpress OR the sitebuilder that comes witha webhosting account ?
If it is the later what name of sitebuilder should I look for in a webhost account ?

"Site Builders" are different things entirely, usually with them you are limited to what is provided. You may be able to upload some images for backgrounds and logos, but you only have the templates and structures that are provided.

Host provided page/site builder tools are fine if you are setting up a site for a school class and each student/child has one or two pages of their own to play with.

Or if you only need something extremely simple with maybe only a couple of pages, and you have little or no design or development skills then sitebuilders are sort of ok, but anything more than that I'd stay well away from them.
