WordPress is a PHP-based, open source content management system (cms) for creating websites and blogs. Through its dynamic presentation of content, webmasters have the flexibility to create beautiful and useful websites easily. Through its system of filters and hooks, WordPress allows developers to extend functionality through pieces of code called functions, which can be grouped into separate executables called "plugins". It is also possible to customize a WordPress installation via the creation of custom themes.

WordPress as a content management platform should be distinguished from wordpress.com, which is a hosted solution by the creators of WordPress. For a discussion of the differences, visit WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
