WordPress is a highly configurable Content Management System that combines simplicity for users and publishers with hidden complexities for developers.
Originally designed to meet the needs of Bloggers, WordPress has evolved and is now able to accommodate plugins and design widgets, making it not only functional but aesthetically pleasing.
Everything from basic websites to applications are built using the adaptability and flexibility of WordPress.
