WordPress.org is my Best Business Partner

“Technology is best when it brings people together – Matt Mullenweg, Founder of WordPress.org” In my business I can operate without many things, but not without my WordPress.org.

Indeed, WordPress brings me closer to my customers… In this post I’m going to investigate why WordPress is so popular. I’ll also look at Joomla and Drupal, the alternative content management systems for WordPress. But first let’s look at WordPress. What is WordPress.org? WordPress.org is an open source (free) Content Management System (CMS). In fact, with WordPress many types of content can be organized and published.

WordPress.org is currently powering 30 percent of all websites (Kaya Ismail, CMS Wire).
