WordPress
Powers 43% of all websites on the internet.
What is it?
WordPress is a Content Management System (CMS) — software that lets you create, edit, and manage your website content through a browser-based dashboard, without writing code. You can write blog posts, add product pages, upload photos, change your menu, and customise your design, all without knowing HTML or CSS.
Why does your website need it?
WordPress means you are never locked into a developer for basic content changes. You can add a new service page, update your phone number, or post a blog article yourself. The ecosystem has 60,000+ free and paid plugins (extensions) for every feature imaginable — booking forms, WhatsApp chat buttons, payment gateways, SEO tools, and more. This reduces development cost dramatically.
How does it work?
WordPress is a PHP application that stores your content (posts, pages, settings) in a MySQL database. When a visitor loads your website, PHP retrieves the relevant content from the database, merges it with your theme's HTML templates, and sends the final page to the visitor's browser. With LiteSpeed Cache installed, this page is stored in server memory for subsequent visitors, so the database is not queried every time.
WordPress is included in every VillageHosting plan.
