A WordPress website is…
…any website that uses WordPress as its content management system (CMS). A CSM is computer software used to manage the creation and modification of digital content. Content Management Systems have become one of the most powerful web development tools on the internet since PHP. In a market where websites need to be built faster and more easily, many developers are turning to open-source CMS solutions to get the job done. Enter WordPress.
WordPress powers both the backend of the website and the frontend.
There are many types of websites that can be built with WordPress. Here are just a few examples:
- Blog – A blog is a special type of website devoted to sharing thoughts, photos, reviews, tutorials, recipes and so much more. Blogs generally display the most recently-published content first and can include a published date, author, and category.
- E-commerce website – An e-commerce website provides a platform that allows you to sell goods or services online and, with a payment processor, takes payment via an online payment system.
- Business website – Many businesses, small to large, can benefit from having an online presence with a website. If your business needs a website for customers to learn about your company, your location, hours, services, products, and why they should choose you, WordPress is an excellent option. With the use of forms, customers can contact you, ask for a quote, schedule an appointment, and much more.

Some people think WordPress is too complicated. Complicated is a relative term. What makes WordPress seem so complicated to some is the sheer power and flexibility of the Content Management System. WordPress was designed to allow users to customize it in near-limitless ways. Because of the huge amount of flexibility and the ability to support many types of websites, it can seem complicated. With time, patience, and plenty of creative energy, anyone can build a website using WordPress.
