Everything from simple websites, to blogs, to complex portals and enterprise websites, and even applications, are built with WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress combines simplicity for users and publishers with under-the-hood complexity for developers. This makes it flexible while still being easy-to-use. The following is a list of some of the features that come as standard with WordPress; however, there are literally thousands of plugins that extend what WordPress does, so the actual functionality is nearly limitless. You are also free to do whatever you like with the WordPress code, extend it or modify in any way or use it for commercial projects without any licensing fees. That is the beauty of free software, free refers not only to price but also the freedom to have complete control over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the features that we think that you\u2019ll love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-list-long-items wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simplicity<\/strong><br>Simplicity makes it possible for you to get online and get publishing, quickly. Nothing should get in the way of you getting your website up and your content out there. WordPress is built to make that happen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong><br>With WordPress, you can create any type of website you want: a personal blog or website, a photoblog, a business website, a professional portfolio, a government website, a magazine or news website, an online community, even a network of websites. You can make your website beautiful with themes, and extend it with plugins. You can even build your very own application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publish with Ease<\/strong><br>If you\u2019ve ever created a document, you\u2019re already a whizz at creating content with WordPress. You can create Posts and Pages, format them easily, insert media, and with the click of a button your content is live and on the web.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Publishing Tools<\/strong><br>WordPress makes it easy for you to manage your content. Create drafts, schedule publication, and look at your post revisions. Make your content public or private, and secure posts and pages with a password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/roles-and-capabilities\/\">User Management<\/a><\/strong><br>Not everyone requires the same access to your website. Administrators manage the site, editors work with content, authors and contributors write that content, and subscribers have a profile that they can manage. This lets you have a variety of contributors to your website, and let others simply be part of your community.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/media-library-screen\/\">Media Management<\/a><\/strong><br>They say a picture says a thousand words, which is why it\u2019s important for you to be able to quickly and easily upload images and media to WordPress. Drag and drop your media into the uploader to add it to your website. Add alt text and captions, and insert images and galleries into your content. We\u2019ve even added a few image editing tools you can have fun with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full Standards Compliance<\/strong><br>Every piece of WordPress generated code is in full compliance with the standards set by the W3C. This means that your website will work in today\u2019s browser, while maintaining forward compatibility with the next generation of browser. Your website is a beautiful thing, now and in the future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/\">Easy Theme System<\/a><\/strong><br>WordPress comes bundled with three default themes, but if they aren\u2019t for you there\u2019s a theme directory with thousands of themes for you to create a beautiful website. None of those to your taste? Upload your own theme with the click of a button. It only takes a few seconds for you to give your website a complete makeover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\">Extend with Plugins<\/a><\/strong><br>WordPress comes packed with a lot of features for every user. For every feature that\u2019s not in WordPress core, there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\">plugin directory<\/a> with thousands of plugins. Add complex galleries, social networking, forums, social media widgets, spam protection, calendars, fine-tune controls for search engine optimization, and forms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/comments-in-wordpress\/\">Built-in Comments<\/a><\/strong><br>Your blog is your home, and comments provide a space for your friends and followers to engage with your content. WordPress\u2019s comment tools give you everything you need to be a forum for discussion and to moderate that discussion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Search Engine Optimized<\/strong><br>WordPress is optimized for search engines right out of the box. For more fine-grained SEO control, there are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/search\/seo\/\">SEO plugins<\/a> to take care of that for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/installing-wordpress-in-your-language\/\">Use WordPress in Your Language<\/a><\/strong><br>WordPress is available in more than 70 languages. If you or the person you\u2019re building the website for would prefer to use WordPress in a language other than English, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/polyglots\/teams\/\">that\u2019s easy to do<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy Installation and Upgrades<\/strong><br>WordPress has always been easy to install and upgrade. Plenty of web hosts offer one-click <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/documentation\/article\/automated-installation\/\">WordPress installers<\/a> that let you install WordPress with, well, just one click! Or, if you\u2019re happy using an FTP program, you can create a database, upload WordPress using FTP, and run the installer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Importers<\/strong><br>Using blog or website software that you aren\u2019t happy with? Running your blog on a hosted service that\u2019s about to shut down? WordPress comes with importers for Blogger, LiveJournal, Movable Type, TypePad, Tumblr, and WordPress. If you\u2019re ready to make the move, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/article\/importing-content\/\">we\u2019ve made it easy for you<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Own Your Data<\/strong><br>Hosted services come and go. If you\u2019ve ever used a service that disappeared, you know how traumatic that can be. If you\u2019ve ever seen adverts appear on your website, you\u2019ve probably been pretty annoyed. Using WordPress means no one has access to your content. Own your data, all of it \u2014 your website, your content, your data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freedom<\/strong><br>WordPress is licensed under the GPL which was created to protect your freedoms. You are free to use WordPress in any way you choose: install it, use it, modify it, distribute it. Software freedom is the foundation that WordPress is built on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Community<\/strong><br>As the most popular open source CMS on the web, WordPress has a vibrant and supportive community. Ask a question on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/forums\/\">support forums<\/a> and get help from a volunteer, attend a <a href=\"https:\/\/central.wordcamp.org\/\">WordCamp<\/a> or Meetup to learn more about WordPress, read blogs posts and tutorials about WordPress. Community is at the heart of WordPress, making it what it is today.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contribute<\/strong><br>You can be WordPress too! Help to build WordPress, answer questions on the support forums, write documentation, translate WordPress into your language, speak at a WordCamp, write about WordPress on your blog. Whatever your skill, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/\">we\u2019d love to have you<\/a>!<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Developer Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For developers, we\u2019ve got lots of goodies packed under the hood that you can use to extend WordPress in whatever direction takes your fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-style-list-long-items wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plugin System<\/strong><br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/\">WordPress APIs<\/a> make it possible for you to create plugins to extend WordPress. WordPress\u2019s extensibility lies in the thousands of hooks at your disposal. Once you\u2019ve created your plugin, we\u2019ve even got a <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\">plugin repository<\/a> for you to host it on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Theme System<\/strong><br>Create WordPress themes for clients, other WordPress users, or yourself. WordPress provides the extensibility to <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/themes\/\">create themes<\/a> as simple or as complex as you wish. If you want to give your theme away for free you can give it to users in the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/themes\/\">theme repository<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application Framework<\/strong><br>If you want to build an application, WordPress can help with that too. WordPress provides a lot of the features under the hood that your app will need: translations, user management, HTTP requests, databases, URL routing and much, much more. You can also use our <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/rest-api\/\">REST API<\/a> to interact with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Custom Content Types<\/strong><br>WordPress comes with default content types, but for more flexibility you can add a few lines of code to create your own <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/plugins\/post-types\/\">custom post types<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/plugins\/taxonomies\/\">taxonomies<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.wordpress.org\/plugins\/metadata\/\">metadata<\/a>. Take WordPress in whatever direction you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Features WordPress powers more than of the web \u2014 a figure that rises every day.
