WordPress
The open source publishing platform of choice for millions worldwide.
WordPress is a free, open-source content management system and publishing platform used by millions of websites ranging from personal blogs to large enterprises. It features a block-based editor for flexible design, an extensive plugin ecosystem for added functionality, and real-time site preview. The platform is community-driven and supports themes, custom patterns, AI integrations, and more.
Users install WordPress, choose a theme, and use the block editor to design and manage their site visually without needing to write code, while plugins extend functionality as needed.
