About this video:
WordPress is a content management system (CMS), which means it allows you to build a website and publish content that you want to share with the world. There are basically three elements that are central to what WordPress does:
1. Create content
First of all, there’s an advanced text editor, called the block editor, that helps you create posts and pages. It also allows you to add all kinds of media to your posts and pages.
2. Organize content
Secondly, WordPress offers ways to manage and structure your content. In this way, your content becomes an actual website, not just a collection of posts and pages.
3. Customize your site
Thirdly, WordPress has all kinds of options to customize how your site works and what it looks like.
One of the cool things about WordPress is that there are gigantic libraries of ready-to-use templates and features that people have created for you to hand-pick and apply to your site. All of these resources allow you to do a lot of things, even if you don’t know how to code. They’ll allow you to add functionalities to your site and change the way your site looks. By making smart use of these resources, you can make your site exactly what you want it to be. This makes WordPress a very easy-to-use CMS.
In addition, WordPress is free and open-source software with a lot of possibilities. As we’ve mentioned before, one of the big powers of WordPress is that you can use it to do all kinds of things. For example, you can set up:
● a blog
● a news site
● a membership site
● a photography site
● an online store
● a business site
● a discussion forum
● a knowledge base
● … and much more!
This list could go on and on, the options are countless. Because it’s so easy to customize, WordPress is a very strong and flexible foundation that can house anything you want to build.
