WordPress.com

In this article, we examine the basics of how WordPress.com works, how you can set up your website or blog with it.

WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS). Being a CMS means that it is used to create, modify and manage digital creation. It is the most popular platform, powering 35% of all websites on the internet.

Why WordPress?

  • Mobile-friendly features
  • The built-in blog included in websites
  • WordPress sites rank high on Google
  • Great support from the community

WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

When it comes to creating a blog or site with WordPress, you have the option between free hosting and the self-hosting. Free WordPress sites come with a default wordpress.com domain and are limited in terms of customization. The upside to it is that creation of the free WordPress site will hardly cost the user anything.
