Why WordPress Remains the World’s Most Popular Open-Source Website Platform

Even with the rise of new website builders, WordPress continues to lead the way as the most popular open-source content management system (CMS) in the world. Powering over 40% of all websites globally, WordPress stands out for its flexibility, scalability, and community-driven development.

One of the biggest advantages of WordPress is its open-source nature, meaning it’s free to use and constantly improved by a vast community of developers. Whether you’re building a blog, a business site, or a full-scale eCommerce store, WordPress offers thousands of themes and plugins to customize your site with ease – no coding required (but fully available for those who want to dive in deeper).

At Simply Effective Web Design, we love using WordPress because it puts creative control into the hands of our clients while giving us the tools to build sites that are clean, fast, and responsive. From SEO optimization to mobile-friendly design, WordPress delivers professional-grade results.

As trends and technologies shift, WordPress continues to evolve. Now with full-site editing and improved performance tools proves that it’s not just still relevant, it’s leading the way in modern web design.
