Which open source software will give me that control and the most Admin control over features? I need to manage access to features base on two categories of users: free and paid subscribers.

Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
If you want to start a blog and want to know WYSIWYG Editor. So I tell you Premium themes already have editor but if your theme does’t have you can use these awesome plugins.
