WordPress

WordPress is one of the best content management systems (CMS) available today. It powers a huge percentage of the websites on the internet, and for good reason. WordPress is super diverse, offers a huge range of features and plugins, and let’s you do pretty much anything you want to your website.

Ultimately, I’d recommend using WordPress to build your next website – but I’m sure you want to know why. With this in mind, I’ve put together a short list of my top 5 reasons why you should consider using WordPress:

WordPress is super popular
WordPress’s popularity makes it a great choice for first time website builders. The fact that so many people use it means that there are a lot of resources available online. If you have trouble doing something, you will be able to find answers.

Even if you can’t find direct tutorials or articles outlining the things you need to know, you will be able to find answers on forums or in chat rooms. Anyway, the fact that WordPress is so popular speaks for itself – it mustn’t be too bad!

WordPress is open source
Most website builders aren’t open source and therefore come with some limitations. On the other hand, WordPress is fully open source, which means that you can edit absolutely anything you want – as long as you have the skills.
