WordPress
Definition
The world's most popular CMS, powering over 40% of all websites, highly customisable through plugins and themes, but requiring more technical maintenance than newer no-code tools.
Why it matters
WordPress offers unmatched flexibility and a vast ecosystem of plugins. However, it also requires more ongoing maintenance (updates, security) than newer alternatives like Webflow or Squarespace.
Example
A blogger uses WordPress with a WooCommerce plugin to sell digital products, run a membership site, and publish weekly articles, all on one platform.
