An Introduction to WordPress

WordPress is a content management system or CMS.

Think of it as the underlying operating system for your website (like Windows or MacOS for your computer). With WordPress installed, you can also install other software you'd like to use, such as plugins like Maple Builder, and website themes that give you expanded functionality. ( Click here to learn more about plugins and here to learn more about themes).

Because of WordPress, small businesses like Maple are able to provide clients with a custom experience that's made just for them, and provide support for expanding and troubleshooting websites.

You can also visit the WordPress website or the WordPress Codex, which is a repository for all information about WordPress.
