WordPress in a nutshell

WordPress is the most popular open source CMS (Content Management System) for creating a website. More than 1 in 4 websites are developed with WordPress.
Its huge advantage is that it separates content from form. It allows non-developers to deploy their own website with little or no code.
WordPress has a huge variety of plugins that can be used to develop just about any website:

• Showcase site
• E-commerce site
• Portfolio
• Blog
• Learning platform

WordPress is used by all types of profiles: from individuals who want to publish a blog to multinational companies promoting their services and products.
For example, Microsoft uses WordPress for its own blog and those of its various products such as Skype and Windows.

How do we explain the success of WordPress?

There are many reasons for the success of WordPress:
1 WordPress offers a wide variety of free themes and plugins. Themes allow you to choose the look of your site. If you want to change your look, you can easily implement another theme without starting over. Plugins affect the functionality of the site (such as implementing a contact form or setting up an e-commerce site...)
2 WordPress is easy to install. You don't need to be technically minded to install a WordPress site. Most hosting companies today offer to install your website in a few clicks... It is of course possible to install the site on your own computer and test the themes and plugins you want locally without risking disabling the site already online.
3 WordPress allows your site to evolve and adapt thanks to the updates of the evolution of the web. It also benefits from a very large community of developers that you can call on if you have any problems.
