The world's most popular open-source content management system
WordPress is the world's most widely used content management system, powering over 40% of all websites on the internet. Originally launched as a blogging platform in 2003, it has evolved into a full-featured CMS capable of running anything from personal blogs to enterprise websites and e-commerce stores.
