What is WordPress?

WordPress is an open source blogging platform and content management system based on the PHP scripting language and MySQL database technology. WordPress was originally designed as a blogging platform, giving users a simple-to-install online application to design, create and manage a blog.

Overtime WordPress has grown in popularity with millions of users worldwide and has become the number one content management system worldwide, powering 22% of new websites. Further to this WordPress has grown as an application. Since its inception WordPress has sprouted thousands of new features and functions that have enabled it to become the number one content management system not only for blogs, but for an array of websites.

WordPress enables users to create pages, manage content including text and images as well as extend its functionality with plug-ins. WordPress also has a template based system using a template processor enabling the easy install and deployment of pre-made design templates. This functionality enables almost any WordPress user to install and change WordPress themes with the click of a button while maintaining the information on the site.

WordPress' advanced plug-in architecture allows users to effortlessly install plug-ins from a library of over 17 thousand. These plug-ins are designed to extend the features and functionality of WordPress beyond the out-of-the-box feature set.
