What is WordPress?
Wordpress is an open-source publishing platform popular with bloggers and a content management system. The appearance of a Wordpress site and many of its functions are managed through themes, and further customizable through altering code, though altering code is not required; templates and plugins to expand its capabilities are plentiful. Wordpress features integrated link management, and a search-engine friendly permalink structure. WordPress now allows multiple blogs to exist within one installation. Websites may host their own blogging communities, controlling and moderating content from a single dashboard.
Wordpress is popular due to its simplicity
and modifiability. Furthermore implementing Wordpress costs only time. Two paid versions exist. The $99 premium plan allows a user an ad free custom domain with 13GB of space and advanced customization. The $299 Business plan allows unlimited space and supports eCommerce as well.

- The flexibility of WordPress exceeds that of other content management systems because it's easy enough for a business owner or marketer to change without the steep learning curve or programming skills required by Drupal and Joomla.
- At the same time, it can be as turnkey as a Wix, SquareSpace, or Tumblr... granted: if you know what you're doing and HOW to make it a turnkey solution for a business..
- And with those considerations, it still remains software and not a hosted website solution. Meaning you own everything and can iterate the CMS and your site to do/be whatever you might need it to be; without the limitations of a hosted CMS.
- With so many capabilities, it's easy to cross the chasm from turnkey to overwhelming.
- If you're familiar with the old PC vs. Mac debate (or more recent Android vs. iPhone), WordPress is the PC/Android version of a CMS. Meaning, it's capable of anything and most widely used as a result. But that comes with it the scrutiny of the community, bugs as a result of so many different priorities and projects affiliated with the platform, and security gaps as plugins or themes fail to keep pace with development of the CMS.
- Significantly reduce the cost of software and website development as just about anything you can conceive of doing with a website (from social network to eCommerce to a crowdfunding clone of Kickstarter) has already been built in WordPress. The cost of this platform is merely in customization and maintenence.
- With it's PHP foundation and open-source framework, it's easy to find inexpensive, highly qualified developers to support any technical changes you'd like to make; while the ease of the platform means most Marketers can implement WordPress without developers.

Some estimates suggest that over 60% of the web is not powered by the WordPress CMS. The wisdom of the crowds is rarely wrong.
