What is WordPress and CMS ?

solarblu.net — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:50:47 +0000

I get this question a lot from everyday people looking to build a website for their business or personal use. WordPress is a CMS or Content Management System. What this means in a nutshell is that it is easier than ever to create content for your website without buying new software every year. WordPress is Open source meaning that the software is developed by nerdy people like Solarblu.net and redistributed to the masses. Open source is great because developers get to add code, feature requests, and bug reports to the software to make it even better in the next version.

WordPress was created in 2003 and soon began to become the staple for websites. Its ease of use, great community support, theme templating system, API documentation , plugins and more have made it the number one of choice for developers across the world. At Solarblu.net we have developed over 500 WordPress websites for almost any industry you can imagine since 2003!We have also provided hosting support for WordPress Websites since 2003.
