WordPress is a free platform for building websites. WordPress has been built by a community of developers for almost 20 years. Currently, anyone can use this platform for free to put up a website for their business. Not just a business information website. Also a blog or an online store.

Almost half (!) of all websites in the world are built on WordPress.
