What is WordPress?
WordPress is the world’s most widely used CMS and powers a large percentage of websites on the World Wide Web.
About
WordPress was originally released in 2003 as a blogging platform and has shapeshifted into something unrecognizable as an intuitive CMS capable of supporting various functions from blogs to enterprise to online shops. It is open source and utilizes PHP as its main programming language.
WordPress is free, has thousands of themes, tens of thousands of plugins, and has a very large community to help support each other. It receives regular updates, is rather easy to learn, and highly customizable.
It is often best used for personal blogs, online storefronts, and educational purposes as well as small businesses.
