A Content Management System (CMS) is a software application that allows users to create, manage, and publish digital content on websites without the need for coding or technical expertise.
The most widely-used CMS is WordPress. Launched in 2003, WordPress is open source software built on PHP and MySQL.
Known for being user-friendly and customizable, WordPress provides a powerful dashboard interface for publishing all types of content seamlessly across websites and blogs.
Well over a third of all websites globally are estimated to run on WordPress, from personal blogs to enterprise-level sites and stores. Its popularity stems from its being free, reliable, secure, and extremely functional as both a self-hosted and a cloud-hosted platform.
Due to its popularity, an enormous marketplace of third-party plugins and themes are available. Plugins and themes are software programs that provide advanced features and functionality.
