WordPress is an extremely popular Content Management System among experts and newbies alike. This cross-skill level of love for WordPress steams from the fundamental core of the platform. What is that core you might ask? Well, that core is its ease of usability. A website built on WordPress is easier, faster, and overall better when compared to the other CMS-platforms on the market.
