WordPress

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system based on PHP and MySQL. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system. It is most associated with blogging but supports other types of web content including more traditional mailing lists and forums, media galleries, and online stores.

WordPress powers over 30% of all websites and is by far the most used CMS on the planet. Backed by a huge community, this open source platform powers a multi-billion dollar economy with themes/plugins and custom software.

Wordpress offers an easy-to-use solution for both web developers and non-web developers alike to create a site.

Just a few advantages of WordPress:

  • Users are able to manage their Wordpress webpage from any computer
  • Has a blog built-in and ready to go whenever applicable.
  • Has plugins, which extend functionality to WordPress sites.

Whether its page transitions or a customized contact form, WordPress users are only a few clicks away from success and a beautiful website.
