Why WordPress?

More than 41% of the web is built on WordPress – it’s undoubtedly the most widely used, and widely
recognised website platform available.

It also happens to be Open Source.

Like every solution chosen to be part of ADRA Source, WordPress was selected as it provides the best
website solution for ADRA offices around the world. Here are just some of the reasons why:

• Its Open Source licensing means it’s free, for everyone.
• WordPress is continually being developed by for-profit companies, meaning it will continue to
  exist and improve well into the future.
• Its ability to provide a secure and stable website is trusted by some of the world’s biggest
  companies and websites.
• WordPress is fully featured, and has more than 55,000 plugins available. Anything you want your
  website to do can usually be achieved in WordPress.
• Integration with other web and software solutions is readily available.
• WordPress developers operate around the globe, so if you do need your website customised,
  help is never too far away.
