Who should use WordPress?

Basically, if you need a website, and you want to be able to build it yourself, then WordPress is the platform that will make it possible.

WordPress is the perfect tool, both for beginners just dipping their toes in website building for the first time and developers working on client websites professionally.

WordPress has been around for quite a while and was in development the whole time. Developers are working on WordPress constantly to keep it ahead of spammers and hackers, and to evolve the application on the basis of the evolving needs of its users.

WordPress is not being developed by a lonely programmer in a dark basement room, by the way. On the contrary, there is a large community of people working on it collaboratively by developing, troubleshooting, making suggestions, and testing the application. With such a large group of people involved, the application is likely to continue to evolve and improve without pause.
