What is WordPress?
It is basically a software that is used to create
and post blogs or websites to publish on the internet. It is also called a
Content Management System or CMS. It was created in 2003. It has grown to be
the most well-known website publishing application worldwide since its launch
in 2003. It powers 30% of websites on the internet.
WordPress is an open-source software and it is free
for the users.
With WordPress, you don’t need to know how to code
at all. Everything is done through drag and drop. There are more than 11,000 distinct
themes available, which are essentially template layouts that define the appearance
and feel of your website. Also, it gives more than 50,000 plugins to help
optimize the functionality of your website. All of the text may be altered including
the fonts and the sizes used, buttons can be made, and even you can add images
and videos and much more.
Building a WordPress website is all online. You can
build websites online from anywhere, as long as you have an internet
connection.
Instead of online, installing WordPress and a data
server to your local computer, you can start building websites locally on your
computer. But make sure to have an internet connection to download plugins and
themes. In that case, you have to export the website to an online server when
you finish it.
You may notice that there are two parties of
wordpress, wordpress.com and wordpress.org.
