Definition

WordPress is the world's most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 43% of all websites on the internet. Available as a self-hosted platform (WordPress.org) or a managed service (WordPress.com), WordPress enables creators to build blogs, portfolios, membership sites, and e-commerce stores through a plugin-based architecture. Its vast ecosystem of themes and plugins (including WooCommerce, Elementor, and Yoast SEO) makes it highly customizable. Many creator websites, course landing pages, and media sites are built on WordPress.
