I have been a customer of Homestead website builder for 12 years. Their product served me well for many years. However, in recent years, I have noticed a dramatic decrease in product quality and the service rendered at Homestead. I am also a user of WordPress.org. Through 1&1 for another website. As an example of the frustration I routinely experience with Homestead, it sometimes takes 15 minutes to simple edit a sentence on Homestead due to their poor quality of product, extremely slow speeds and frequent disconnects. I do not experience these problems with WordPress.org through 1&1. The website I administrate on Homestead is related to football. As soon as the football season concludes, I will be switching my Homestead account to WordPress.org through 1&1.
