Frequently Asked Questions

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a free, open-source website creation platform. It is a content management system (CMS) written in PHP that uses a MySQL database. Even though WordPress was originally built as a blogging tool, you can create any kind of website you want, from a small, one-page personal site to a portfolio website, to a full online store, e-learning, news website, and even a full-featured business site.

WordPress was released in 2003 and it has become one of the most popular web publishing platforms which powers more than 40% of the entire website in the world. WordPress enables you to build and manage your website using just your web browser without learning how to code.

What's The Difference Between WordPress.com Vs WordPress.org?

WordPress.com is the hosted version of WordPress and WordPress.org is the self-hosted version.

WordPress.com is a free web hosting service that allows anyone to run a website without worrying about security, technical stuff, or managing site. WordPress.com has many limitations also. Your site will include advertising by default, and you'll have to use a branded domain name like yourdomain.wordpress.com. Also, WordPress themes and plugins are very limited.

On the other had, the self-hosted version of WordPress is very powerful, customisable, and isn't limited in any way. You have full control and ownership of your website and you are free to use and customise your website in any way you want.

In our Web Design with WordPress course you’ll learn how to use the self-hosted version of WordPress.
