WordPress started out primarily as a blogging platform, designed to give aspiring bloggers, journalists and content writers an easy way to get their stories online without needing to know how to code.
Due to increasing demand for these services, it started to expand its capabilities from a simple one page blog to extra pages, in order that the blogger could tell their readers more about themselves, or perhaps display some links to other sites.
And from there – the WordPress website era was born.
Initially, designs were limited to primitive themes, but as WordPress is open source software, third-party developers started to create fresh themes, plugins and ideas in order to expand on the basis of what had been created to date – and quickly a worldwide community of developers was born, to the extent that WordPress was quickly becoming the go-to platform on which to build your new website.

And you’ll love it too.
Adding and removing content is simple, you can put the world to rights by adding a blog post directly from your smartphone if you want to.
And because of its blogging heritage, Google LOVES WordPress.
Google crawls WordPress sites in a unique way, and typically ranks WordPress sites higher than others in its results.
Which is one of the reasons why there are currently over 75 million active WordPress websites worldwide.
