- WordPress is the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites on the internet, from personal blogs to large corporate sites like The White House and Sony Music.
- It is free and open-source software, built and maintained by a massive global community of contributors.
- Users can easily customize their website’s appearance with thousands of themes (designs) and add virtually any functionality imaginable using an extensive library of plugins (apps for your site), all without needing to write code.
- WordPress comes in two main forms: the self-hosted WordPress.org, which offers complete control and flexibility, and the hosted service WordPress.com, which provides an all-in-one, managed experience.
- It’s designed to be user-friendly, featuring an intuitive dashboard and a block-based editor (Gutenberg) that makes creating and managing content as easy as using a word processor
