WordPress

WordPress originated as a blogging system a little over twenty years ago. At that time blogging was quite new in trend. Today, WordPress is very widespread as a web CMS. About a third of all websites on the Internet are based on it. The open source WordPress project offers everyone the ability to create and share content, from small personal blogs to large corporate websites. Because WordPress is based on a MySQL database, it is suitable not only as a web system, but also as a content-first platform. The editor in WordPress, the Gutenberg editor plays an important role in this, as it allows even non-technical people to flexibly create and store content, and then automate it.

WordPress

WordPress combines simplicity for users and publishers with behind-the-scenes complexity for developers. This makes it flexible yet user-friendly. Below is a list of some of the features that come standard with WordPress:

  • Gutenberg editor (sophisticated HTML editor for editorial work)
  • Sharing processes and various roles with permissions
  • Media management
  • MySQL database
  • available in over 70 languages
  • Own your data (Hosted services come and go. WordPress users own your data, all your data - your site, your content, your data)

However, there are thousands of plugins that extend the features of WordPress, so the actual functionality is almost unlimited. Also, you can do whatever you want with the WordPress code, extend it or modify it in any way, or use it...

However, there are thousands of plugins that extend the features of WordPress, so the actual functionality is almost unlimited. Also, you can do whatever you want with the WordPress code, extend it or modify it in any way, or use it for commercial projects without incurring licensing fees. That's the beauty of free software, because free doesn't only refer to the price, but also to the freedom of having complete control over it.

Please note:

The information on this page was provided by the provider or created in part (for minimal entries) with AI support. SIMIO accepts no liability for the accuracy of this content.

Where does the information in the Navigator come from?

We constantly research the relevant provider market and generate a minimum entry in the logically associated system class for each provider that we consider relevant. Our aim is to provide interested parties with the most complete and up-to-date information and guidance possible.

  • Minimum entry

    We deliberately keep this free minimum entry very lean, as we would not be able to display any further information validly. Each provider has the option of enriching this entry in the stages described below and thus upgrading it in terms of its classification and credibility.

  • Basic entry

    For this purpose, a provider supplies us with basic information, which we display in a structured form on a detail page. This gives you the opportunity to quickly gain a first impression of this provider.

  • Advanced entry

    With an Advanced entry, we carry out an assessment with the provider in order to gain a deeper impression and check the plausibility of the information provided. This means greater information security for your initial search.

  • Premium enty

    In addition to the Advanced entry, we have carried out a detailed analysis with this provider; the documentation of this analysis, known as QUINTESSENZ, represents a unique ‘fingerprint’ of the solution under consideration. The advantage for you: The detailed information can be comprehensively retrieved from us and used for a software selection process.
