One of the greatest things about WordPress is that just about anyone can use it to build a website or blog. A user doesn’t need to know how to write code in HTML, PHP, or CSS. All it takes is some basic knowledge of SFTP and the WordPress file structure to get a site installed. On top of that, by installing pre-built themes and plugins via the WordPress dashboard, often a site can be fully customized to the user’s requirements. For non-technical users, it’s often this low barrier to entry they value in selecting WordPress to run their new site. And it probably goes a long way towards explaining why WordPress runs 25% of all websites.
