Did you know that WordPress powers 39,6% of the internet? That is an impressive percentage.
Beyond the basics, several features make WordPress a great platform to build your website on. It’s also open-source software, meaning it’s completely free, redistributable, and offers unlimited validity.
Here are some facts about WordPress you might find interesting, whether you are a developer, blogger or just curious.
1. WordPress is the most popular CMS used in the world
WordPress is used for many popular websites that you might recognise, like Etsy, Skype and MTV News, as well as other brands like PlayStation, Facebook Newsroom, and Yelp, amongst others.
If WordPress is powerful enough for these sites, then it’s safe to say it’s powerful enough for nearly any site you might need to build.
2. WordPress can be used to build any type of website
WordPress was once a blogging platform, but it has adapted over the years to become very versatile, allowing users to create fully-functional sites of any category.
WordPress offers you the flexibility and freedom to build any kind of website, without having to know code.
3. WordPress allows you to create SEO-friendly permalinks
