What it is

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that allows businesses to manage website content without relying on developers for every small update. It combines a user-friendly admin dashboard with a flexible development ecosystem, making it ideal for business websites, service sites, blogs, portfolios, and content-driven platforms.
