WordPress is an open source website developing tool written in PHP. In short, it is arguably the most easiest and powerful Content Management System ( CMS  ) in existence today. WordPress can be set up for blogging and creation of sophisticated websites thanks to the enormous amount of WordPress Themes on the market.
