Why is WordPress so popular?

Posted in WordPress on 25 January 2018

WordPress is a free and open source software used by millions of people around the world to create websites and blogs. The most popular features of WordPress include its ease of use and ability to be extended way beyond the simple blog software it starts out as.

Front-end themes and templates can be easily downloaded from the official WordPress site or from hundreds of other places around the web. The same goes with extensions and plugins, which are used to extend the functionality of your WordPress site. A wide range of people contribute time, knowledge and skill to keeping the core WordPress software updated and secure.
