WordPress is one of the most popular and widely used web content management systems.
Today, May 27, 2023 is the 20th anniversary since WordPress was introduced. It also marks a historic achievement for WordPress, not to mention that almost 43% of the web is generated using WordPress.
WordPress was previously started in 2003 as an open source system, which was developed based on the then b2/cafelog system. From the very beginning, it received a lot of attention for its simple system, and focus on content publishing.
Since then, WordPress has added a theme system to simplify web design, in addition to plugin support in continuing to add additional features that are needed. Today, in addition to publishing content, WordPress is also used for various things, including the development of e-commerce systems, community systems, including the development of applications such as Sarwa.
The community and industry behind WordPress is also very large today, with many developers and designers making money from it, as well as businesses that rely on WordPress.
WordPress also emphasizes that its 20-year achievement is due to the fact that it operates as open source – allowing many to join the community and help in its development and use.
