WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL, which you can use to create a beautiful website, blog, or app. It’s a free and useful state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
The core software is built by hundreds of community volunteers, and there are thousands of plugins and themes available to transform your site into almost anything you can imagine. Over 60 million people have chosen this CMS to power the place on the web they call “home”.
WordPress CMS was initially developed as a blogging platform in 2003. But it has evolved to be used as a full-fledged popular content management system (CMS) which is capable of hosting static and dynamic content, e-commerce, event calendars, audio and video podcasts and much more.
