Yup, You are posting dynamic content on the internet, where all four billion users can interact with it. WordFence at a minimum for security plug-ins. I usually use several.
Users should not be admins; they add add sketchy plugins from random sites and get owned. As Me How I Know (tm).
Good passwords for users.
Minimize exposure: no comments unless you need them, for example.
Still and all, you get a professional-appearing templates, responsive design, basic SEO and a site the user can edit at a pretty reasonable price. I've used it for several not-obvious-they-are-blogs websites my clients maintain.
Me, I prefer to design websites with ViM. (But I have a blog, too!)

Let me throw in a "+1 with extreme caution" for WordPress.
Pros:
Flexibility
Ease in maintaining content
Multiple authors can contribute content
Healthy plugin community
Cons:
- As the #1 blogging platform, your site will constantly be under attack.
Patch. Patch plugins.
- Performance can be an issue. Content is pulled from a database and can be
slower than a static site. However, there are plugins that help with this (Who knew!?!) where they cache the pages and make the site faster.
- Editing of advanced / responsive templates still require an experts
touch. That's you!
- If your site gets hacked, it can take a bit to get everything back. Yes,
there is a plugin that will help you with site backups and might be the fastest way to get a site back after a hack.
$0.02.

I have built and maintain a few very simple websites for some one-man businesses and local charities using Front Page 2003. I have now moved over to a Mac with Win 10 on Bootcamp (when it works - Win 10 sucks!) but would like to use a suitable Mac product. I know there are some Mac
users
out there :-). Can anyone recommend a very simple web design software similar to Front Page, ideally low-cost as I don’t make any money out of these websites.
Thanks
John
