Why Should You Use Word Press


WordPress is an open-source and free Web publishing application, content management system (CMS) and blogging tool. WordPress allows users to build dynamic websites and blogs that may be updated, customized and managed from its back-end CMS and integrated application and components.
People often make the mistake of classifying WordPress as just a blogging platform. Although that used to be true in the past, WordPress has evolved through the years into a versatile content management system (CMS). While you can still use WordPress to create a simple blog, now it also allows you to create fully functional websites and mobile applications.

The best part about WordPress is that it’s easy to use and flexible enough for just about anything. That’s the main reason why WordPress has grown so much in popularity. According to a recent survey, WordPress powers 22.5% of all websites on the internet.

There are currently 2600+ WordPress themes and 31,000+ plugins available for free. You can download, install and use them on any website. To run WordPress, all you need is a domain and web hosting.

Most people using WordPress are neither web designers nor programmers. As a matter of fact most folks started using WordPress without any prior knowledge of designing websites. The reason why WordPress is such an ideal candidate is because there are thousands of free templates (themes) to choose from, so you can give your website any look you want. There is a WordPress theme for about everything. Whether you want a Photography Theme, Magazine Theme, Portfolio Theme, or an eCommerce Theme. There is a perfect theme available for every kind of website.

WordPress themes are easy to customize because a lot of them come with their own options panel allowing you to change colors, upload logo, change background, create beautiful sliders, and do other cool things with your website without even writing any code at all. WordPress is super flexible and can be extended by using plugins. Just like themes, there are thousands of free and premium plugins available for you to use. Not only these plugins can add extra functionality to WordPress, there are lots of plugins which can add a whole new platform to your WordPress site.
