WordPress: Flex your freedom
Create a place for your business, your interests, or anything else—with the open source platform that powers the web.
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.
Powerful and empowering
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.
