WordPress is the most popular CMS platform used today, powering approximately 18% of the web and representing more than 60 million users ... and it continues to grow every day.
WordPress was originally created as a blogging platform, which is why it is the go-to platform for blog websites. That's not to say it's a one-trick pony, however. Over the years it has evolved into an extremely powerful CMS. Its simple setup, user friendly interfaces and great extensibility are just some of the reasons it's so widely used across the internet.
