Having a desktop publishing software enables you to create promotional material for your business. You can create layouts for newsletters, banners, brochures, business cards and even books. You have functions like photo editing and different effects (3D effects, transparency and filters). The most important thing is that the interface is really user friendly and there's no minimal developer experience required.

There are no disadvantages of using a desktop publishing site because the whole site is just sooo good but there is bound to be some disadvantages so if you find any post them on this site please please please please
The major disadvantage of software is a reduction in creativity. A first step to the computer, avoiding the conceptual brainstorming phase can inhibit design. At times a much more linear and non-organic design is generated when this approach is taken. Since the computer is the final design medium, perfectionism can also hamper creativity that would not occur when original paper sketches/comps are transferred to a computer.
That being said, computers give huge advantages to designers that were not available a few years ago. Each software product has its strengths and can be used effectively in its own arena.
The biggest disadvantage of desktop publishing is it killed the market for design services. I've been doing this even before there was desktop publishing. We used to need two machines to set type--one for body copy, another for heads. Back in those days, typesetters made decent money, because they had a rare skill. Today, you can do the same thing better in Microsoft Word--and everyone has that. Instead of designers being worth $35 to $200 per hour because they had mad skillz, now they're worth as much as the guy who drives a forklift at Home Depot.
