What Is The Difference Between Wordpress.org And Wordpress.com?

You know for the longest time I had the trouble in distinguishing between both Wordpress platforms. I know I am not the only one who has had this trouble I mean how could I there are over 6 billion people on the planet and at some point in time, if you have worked with the platforms, you have come across this dilemma. No more I say lol.

Seriously it’s actually quite a simple answer which probably won’t require a long explanation. What I want to leave you with is a good understanding of what the differences are and how they can help you in your development as a front end web developer. This should allow you to explain to customers and clients which platform will work best for their needs, or your personal needs.

Before we begin let us start with the basics and give a general overview of what the foundation of these platforms are. First and foremost Wordpress is an open source content management system to help build websites and blogs online.

Open source simply means that it is a community driven software program that allows modifications and updates from the community to enhance the platform. What Wordpress did was give the average user the capability to build an online presence without the knowledge of knowing how to code. This opened the doors to the majority to create businesses without having to pay the overwhelming price of a developer to create a site.

Now if you do know how to code that does help in your design, but is not necessarily needed as there are so many resources that help to streamline the process of the creation.

Ok now that you have an idea of what Wordpress is and how it opened the door for many to create their own site lets get into some of the differences that come along with this CMS.
