What is it?<\/h2>\n

WordPress<\/strong> is the most popular content management system (CMS) for running websites and their content.<\/p>\n

It is cost-effective and lets anyone manage their own website without depending on a developer.<\/p>\n

With WordPress you can manage your site with ease: edit pages and images, add text, create new pages and much more.<\/p>\n

Its intuitive interface also gives your website a real boost in search.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

One of its most convenient features is plugins, which add new functionality to your site.<\/p>\n

Being open source is a big part of why WordPress became the most widely used platform in the world.<\/p>\n
