When we think of creating a website, and we have no experience with it, we think that it is a job that should be left to someone who just deals with it – and we are often right.
In this regard, the text below can serve you as a good starting point.
One of the best ways to create a website is to use a pre-built CMS.
What is CMS???
Well, CMS (content management system) is a system that enables content management. In the broadest sense, it refers to any solution that enables classification, organization, linking and any other form of content editing, and the fundamental application of CMS today is in the dynamic creation of new generation websites. Essentially, CMS represents a platform that allows you to enter and manage the content on your website yourself, and you are not dependent on the company or individual who created your website. Therefore, pay attention to this right from the start, because many companies that create websites take advantage of the ignorance of users and work on one of the CMSs that only they have access to. So when you want to change the supplier or change the content on the website, they can condition you for something that essentially belongs to you as the owner of the website.
Why WordPress?
To avoid this, it is best to use one of the best and most universally used CMS, among which WordPress stands out.
First, we will present a few statistics about WordPress that speak for themselves:
– WordPress currently occupies 39.5% of all websites in 2021 and has been ranked first in the selection of the most popular CMS system for 10 years in a row
– WordPress is the fastest growing CMS, which on average supports over 15% of the top 100 websites in the world
– Every second 17 texts are published on websites supported by WordPress
– Of the 1 million best websites in the world, 297,629 of them were created in WordPress
To get a picture of the dominance of WordPress, see below an overview of the 10 most prevalent CMSs currently in use:
1. WordPress – 39.6%
2. Shopify – 3.2%
3. Joomla – 2.2%
4. Drupal – 1.5%
5. Wix – 1.5%
6. Squarespace – 1.5%

Let’s take a quick look at why WordPress is the best choice for creating websites.
– It is easy to install. Most hosting services have a one-click installation option for WordPress,
– Great community. This means that a lot of people use it, so if you get stuck with something, you can always ask people to help you.
– Ideal for the non-tech-savvy who want to establish their online presence in a quick and cost-effective way.
– Highly customizable. You can download a lot of free (or paid) themes and install them on your website within minutes.
WordPress has truly revolutionized the way websites are built. Anyone who uses WordPress is familiar with the fact that plugins can make many things easier. Implementing code, editing comments, texts, images, materials… is done in just a few clicks thanks to plugins. Most plugins are free, while some are paid. There are plugins that have a free version with limited capabilities, but also a paid version that provides the user with greater capabilities.
And at the end of the part about WordPress, one interesting thing.
WordPress is downloaded the most on Wednesdays, and the least on Fridays.
