WordPress started in 2003 when Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg created a fork of b2/cafelog. The need for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing system was clear even then.

WordPress provides the opportunity for anyone to create and share, from handcrafted personal anecdotes to world-changing movements.

Today, WordPress is built on PHP and MySQL, and licensed under the GPLv2. It is also the platform of choice for over 43% of all sites across the web.

The WordPress open source project has evolved in progressive ways over time — supported by skilled, enthusiastic developers, designers, scientists, bloggers, and more.

WordPress is software designed for everyone, emphasizing accessibility, performance, security, and ease of use. We believe great software should work with minimum set up, so you can focus on sharing your story, product, or services freely.

The basic WordPress software is simple and predictable so you can easily get started. It also offers powerful features for growth and success.

People with a limited tech experience can use it “out of the box”, and more tech-savvy folks can customize it in remarkable ways.
