WordPress

WordPress is an open-source Content Management System widely used in the software world. In other words, it helps you build websites.

It also happens to be one of the most widely-used website building systems in the entire world, powering over 40% of the world’s top websites. WordPress is also an effective way to blog. In fact, it is estimated that 17 blog posts are published on this platform per second.

WordPress is known for its customizable website features, more commonly known as “plugins.” These plugins vary widely, allowing each website builder to personalize their site for their specific needs. Several are available only at an extra charge, but many are free with the site, meaning WordPress is also a budget-friendly option. You can manipulate your website to fit your budget exactly.

The best part of these plugins? The variety. To date, there are over 55,000 plugins available for site designers to use and manipulate for the exact webpage needs, and they are all conveniently housed in the WordPress directory.

Some of the most popular plugins are:

Yoast SEO: This helps to optimize your search engine presence.
Jetpack: This is designed to boost marketing, design, and security simultaneously.
Akismet: This plugin allows you to block spam comments (and catches an estimated five million pieces of spam per hour!)
Contact Form 7: This allows you to create simple contact forms on your site so that a visitor can give you more information about themselves. It also works in conjunction with Akismet to prevent spam.
WooCommerce: This adds eCommerce functionality to your website.

And don’t forget, there are over 54,995 more.
