Description: WordPress is an open-source website and blog creator. It provides users with an interface where they can build and customise their websites using themes, plugins, and widgets. Users can choose between WordPress.com, which is a hosted platform with managed services and a free limited version, or WordPress.org, which is a completely free self-hosted platform where users have more control over their websites, but requires more IT skills. WordPress was initially released in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little.
