How WordPress can help you...
Whether you’re new to the web and looking for something small — or you’re a large business looking for something extensive, WordPress has got you covered. It really is a swiss-army knife tool when it comes to the web. Its large, diverse community powers a vibrant community that's helped make WordPress the undisputed king of web. Face it. By powering nearly 1/3 of the web as of late 2020, WordPress is no longer competing with other CMS types systems such as Drupal, Joomla or even newer systems like React or Vue. WordPress's competition is Google and Facebook. Huge tech giants. However, WordPress plays a Prometheus type role on the web, bringing fire from the gods to man (in a digital sense). It's open-source nature means anyone can use the code to make their own things and own it, all unto themselves.
