Although it’s one of the most popular content management systems, WordPress isn’t the only CMS on the market. Other content management systems include:
- CMS Hub
- Joomla
- Drupal
- Magento
- Webflow
- Ghost
So, why is WordPress such a popular CMS if there are so many other options?
Some of the content management systems noted above are actually quite popular (Magento, for example,) but WordPress tends to be one of the most popular options for a few reasons:
- WordPress is very user-friendly with a simple to use interface
- WordPress is updated very regularly which means that any exploits can be patched quickly to make for a more secure website.
- WordPress is exceptionally versatile, while the CMS platform itself is versatile, this versatility can also be expanded through the use of plugins and templates.
- WordPress can be customized to accommodate a variety of different site types, for example, a video-based site, a corporate site, etc.
