Yes, You Should Use WordPress

WordPress fuels simple 1-page blogs AND it handles enormous fully-featured commercial and publishing endeavors; it grows with your needs and you’re in charge. But there’s more to it.

WordPress was first introduced in 2003. What started as a simple intuitive blogging platform on a pre-defined design theme has since grown into a massive web development tool. Back then, it helped millions around the world — from internet novices to techies — gain their first web presence to get their message out or to start their business. All you needed was (and still is) an internet connection, any kind of browser on any kind of operating system.

Today, WordPress still describes its mission as Democratize Publishing. The freedom to build. The freedom to change. The freedom to share.

“We believe in democratizing publishing and the freedoms that come with open source (OpenSource.org). Supporting this idea is a large community of people collaborating on and contributing to this project. The WordPress community is welcoming and inclusive. Our contributors’ passion drives the success of WordPress which, in turn, helps you reach your goals. WordPress contributors work around the globe, and have dedicated countless hours to build a tool that democratizes publishing. WordPress is open source software that is both free and priceless.”
