WordPress: what it is and why it matters

WordPress
What is it?

WordPress is the most popular content management system (CMS) for running websites and their content.

It is cost-effective and lets anyone manage their own website without depending on a developer.

With WordPress you can manage your site with ease: edit pages and images, add text, create new pages and much more.

Its intuitive interface also gives your website a real boost in search.

WordPress is free, open source software, so you can manage your content at no licensing cost. You can style it yourself with a wide range of themes, most of them free.

One of its most convenient features is plugins, which add new functionality to your site.

Being open source is a big part of why WordPress became the most widely used platform in the world.

Today, a huge share of the world's websites run on it.
