WordPress is an absolutely free software to use. You can download, install, use and modify it for free. When I say it’s not ‘cheap,’ I mean it’s not the kind of free software that will flood you with ads or limitations.
It’s Easy to Customize
Speaking of no limitations, there really are no limitations to what you can do with WordPress. There are thousands of Themes and Plug-Ins for WordPress, letting you do just about anything without having to type a lick of code.
Themes are essentially the look and feel of your website. You can find a ton of free themes on WordPress.org, and Envato Themes has a ton of free and paid themes you can use as well.
Plug-Ins add additional functionality to your blog or website.
