What is WordPress

WordPress is an open-source (free) website builder, but its a little more than that too.

It’s is a content management system (CMS) that stores and manages your content effortlessly.

So why should you use WordPress? – Well as the kids say, “Everyone is doing it” – and nothing could be more true. WordPress is the most used CMS in the world, with over 28,183,568 websites and blogs built with it.

This CMS uses PHP (Hypertext Pre-processor) and a MySQL (an open sourced Structured Query Language) database. What does this mean? Well this means that the software you might choose to power your business framework is created using a language that is versatile, well supported and frequently updated. Not to mention the fact that it is platform independent. Meaning it can be used on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and supports most web browsers. Pair this with a MySQL database, making all of your data easily accessible and its easy to see why WordPress is the most used website builder in the world.

Hands down, WordPress is the best and most powerful website builder in existence today.

WordPress is a great solution for just about anyone. It is an excellent website platform that you can use for a variety of website types, such as blogs, e-commerce shops, business identities, and creator portfolios. It really is designed with usability and flexibility in mind.
