WordPress is a free, popular open-source content management system (CMS) used to build dynamic websites, blogs, and online stores. It is powered by PHP and uses a MySQL or MariaDB database for content storage. With its intuitive admin dashboard, WordPress allows users to manage posts, pages, themes, plugins, and users without writing any code.
