What is WordPress?
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system, allowing users to easily create and manage websites. It is a free, open-source platform that provides flexibility and scalability for building different types of websites. However, while WordPress itself is free, using it requires a paid web hosting service to maintain the website.

WordPress websites for businesses
WordPress is an excellent choice for entrepreneurs and small to medium-sized businesses, as it combines flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. Its ready-made tools make website creation quick, while also offering unlimited possibilities to customize and expand the site as the business grows.
A large community contributes to WordPress development, ensuring continuous updates and security. This community also produces a vast number of free and paid themes, plugins, and guides, making the platform accessible and appealing to both beginners and experienced web developers.
