The other really cool thing about WordPress is that there are thousands, literally not an exaggeration, developers around the world that work on WordPress. And so if there's something you want it to do, the odds are there's a plugin that's been created that you can add to your website and it will do exactly what it is that you are needing. Like Carolyn was saying, you can add a booking plugin or you can add a membership plugin or you can add a certain contact form that's gonna take a payment through PayPal or, you know, whatever it is. There's something out there that's most likely already created and you don't have to recreate the wheel. That is a huge advantage to WordPress.
