What is WordPress?

WordPress is one of the world’s most popular open-source CMS (content management systems) available. There are currently over 60 million websites built using WordPress and it accounts for over 25% of all new websites worldwide (so you'll be in good hands). One of the key features of WordPress, which could account for the widespread use, is the fact that it is free to use (with some premium upgrades available) and only a basic level of computer skill is needed to set up your first site. WordPress.com offers less of a steeper learning curve than WordPress.org (self-hosted) websites, as WordPress themselves deal with the hosting and required software updates of your site.
