WordPress, known as the most versatile and popular Content Management System (CMS) in the market today, was first released primarily for blogging. Nowadays, every significant business is designing its website on WordPress, which can be easily modified and updated. Out of more than 1 billion websites on the internet, around 28% are on WordPress!

There is no denying that WordPress has come a long way from being a publishing platform and is now the most user-friendly CMS online. The best thing about WordPress is that it is easy for everyone, and that distinguishes it from other CMSs like Drupal and Joomla. The easiest way to learn more about WordPress is to get used to it, and if you are just starting on WordPress, here is everything you should know about it.

Extensive Variety of Themes & Plugins

WordPress offers themes and plugins for almost every business process, and new ones are being added continuously, which means that you can add unique features to your website. This also means that no two sites are the same, as you can use different themes with a different font and background color to make it stand out. You have complete freedom to customize the appearance of your website in every way with WordPress. The most significant advantage is that there are a lot of free themes, apart from paid themes, which allow you to experiment with your website’s appearance.

Plugins are useful, because they add more functionality to a website, and WordPress has an extensive range of plugins that add thousands of different features to your website. You can install everything from security plugins to fancy plugins that add new features to your website.

The Incredible Power of WordPress CMS (Content Management System)

WordPress is available in 70+ languages and is truly multilingual. It is installed with one click, and it boasts an open and enthusiastic community, where you can collaborate with developers from around the world and learn more about its unique features. You won’t have a problem with customization and upgrading the theme of your website. You also get complete freedom to create any type of website you want, whether it is a personal website, an e-commerce store, a government website, a news website, a photography website, or a blogging website.

WordPress adds greater convenience in managing your website as well, and you can create pages and publish posts effortlessly. You can find options to create and schedule posts, and even protect them with passwords. You can also choose to make your content private or public, and use different plugins to add more features to your website.

These were just some of the basics of WordPress, but there is so much more you can learn about this CMS.
