Dream it, build it
That’s the beauty of using blocks. See exactly how your site will look in real time, even as you add, edit, and rearrange your content. Create any kind of custom site with intuitive editing, flexible design tools, and powerful features to manage it all.
Style it your way
Design anything you imagine. Start with a blank canvas or choose from a wide variety of themes and patterns. Customize every detail, from color and fonts to layouts and functionality.
Plug in and extend
Make WordPress do whatever you need it to. Add a store, mailing list, portfolio, social feed, analytics; you’re in control with over 55,000 plugins.
Own what you make
Your content, your design, and your data always belong to you. With WordPress you’re free to tell your story, grow your brand, or simply be yourself.
Create with confidence
Built by an open source community with decades of experience, its passionate contributors are committed to keeping WordPress as stable and secure as possible.
One platform, millions of possibilities
Global creative agencies, local businesses, and even your neighbor’s personal blog are already using WordPress.
