WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites on the internet. Originally launched in 2003 as a blogging platform, it has since evolved into a flexible, open-source CMS used to build everything from simple blogs to complex enterprise websites and eCommerce stores.
Built on PHP and MySQL, WordPress offers thousands of themes, plugins, and integrations, allowing users to customize both the front-end design and back-end functionality. Its block editor (Gutenberg) provides a user-friendly, visual way to build content using modular blocks.
WordPress supports custom post types (CPTs), taxonomies, custom fields, and REST API access -making it a powerful platform for developers and content creators alike. It also has a vibrant community that continuously contributes themes, plugins, documentation, and support.
