WordPress is a flexible, open-source PHP-based CMS and website framework powering 43% of the web. It serves everything from blogs and small business sites to enterprise e-commerce platforms and media publishers. WordPress offers an extensive plugin ecosystem, thousands of themes, and a low barrier to entry for non-technical users, while providing deep customization for developers.
