WordPress has been around for almost 20 years having been released in 2003 and according to hostingtribunal.com, powers 35% of the internet today and 60% of the websites that are built on a CMS. That’s a huge percentage of websites!

This includes the smallest of companies to some of the largest in the world. Companies like BBC America, Sony Music, The Walt Disney Company, The Rolling Stones, and Microsoft News all use WordPress. You know why? Because it’s powerful and versatile enough for any organization to adopt.

Even though using WordPress isn’t hand-coding a website from scratch, you do have the ability to change and edit code if desired. If you want to have a website that is more customized to your needs and not one that seems like a cookie-cutter version of another website, you have that ability. I don’t really recommend doing a ton of this yourself unless you spend some time learning how to master the process, but there are companies like Ironistic that can help you customize your site to the look and feel that you want.
