On March 15, WordPress announced that its platform now powers more than 1/3rd of the top 10 million sites on the Internet according to W3Techs. Their market share continues to grow without fetters over the last several years, increasing from 29.9% one year ago to 33.4% today. If you run an online business, large or small, you cannot afford to ignore those numbers.
Let’s look at some history of the WordPress platform. In 2005, they had 50,000 downloads. By January 2011, just six years later, WordPress powered 13.1% of all websites on the Internet. Today, WordPress powers 33.4% of the top websites worldwide. The latest release of the WordPress platform has been downloaded 14 million times since its release just weeks ago on February 21…this year!
WordPress is the CMS of choice for top web developers for many reasons. The versatility means that a wide array of businesses across many industry sectors choose WordPress. The variety of WordPress websites grows exponentially as a result. Large global enterprises down to local mom-and-pop shops use WordPress to power their businesses. This means that the WordPress community gets all the more powered up to develop the latest innovations, always staying ahead of the competition.
This huge community of volunteers has grown just as WordPress has grown. In fact, the community is across many contributor groups:
This amazing community means that WordPress will continue to be the best while remaining free.

We at NOYO Web have said this many times….Free does not always mean cheap….at least not in this case. The WordPress community is committed to Open Source principles, which promotes giving access to the best to all. Your business will benefit by taking advantage of this.
In addition, Open Source comes with the freedom to modify, use, build upon, and redistribute the software in any way possible.
“A WordPress theme is a collection of code, functionality and styles that you can install onto your website in the form of a theme. Installing this Theme on your WordPress website allows you to access and use the functionality and styles of the Theme using the WordPress CMS interface, page builders and any plugins provided by your theme, without having to touch any of the code.”

We believe it is the most robust, versatile platform for businesses of any type. The WordPress Community, its framework and themes, and its Open Source nature make it the best.
