WordPress is one of the most popular tools for building websites. It’s an open-source platform, meaning anyone can use it and even help improve it. With WordPress, people with little to no technical skills can create blogs, personal sites, and even business websites quickly and easily. Originally designed for blogging, WordPress has grown into a full content management system, thanks to thousands of plugins. These plugins make it simple to add features like contact forms, photo galleries, and security tools, helping users create websites with all the functions they need.
