What is Wordpress?
Wordpress is an open-source Content Management System which runs millions of websites worldwide and has been developer since 2001. The system is run under the GPLv2 license, and is chosen for projects for a number of reasons:
- It takes less time to develop certain sites than creating a bespoke system from scratch, thus making projects more cost effective for the client
- It is developed by thousands of coders and testers whom constantly update the code base and test functionality
- Wordpress is a popular open source product so clients will not be tied in to anything proprietary or with license restrictions
- The Wordpress development philosophy places high regard to accessibility and security – key factors for most projects
- Wordpress is immensely scalable both in terms of number of users and in its function, with a large number of plugins available
- We have developed many websites using Wordpress and are highly skilled in implementing solutions using it
