WordPress is a graphical content management system released in 2003 that uses a MySQL database, and it is free of charge. It is the most popular system of its kind on the market, and it is still being continuously developed. Its creators keep adding new features to the system. It is also improved by independent users, who can create their own extensions and enhancements in the form of plugins and themes. The system is available in many popular languages, including English and Polish. 40% of all websites are built on WordPress, which shows its strong position on the market.

The popularity of WordPress


WordPress is a very popular system for creating websites, valued by advanced and beginner users alike. It is a very simple and intuitive system, which makes it easy for beginners to create websites without knowing any programming languages, and the large community built up over the years makes it easy to find useful tips when creating your first website.

Low barrier to entry


WordPress is a very simple tool for creating websites, so with the help of the countless tips already available on the internet, e.g. the articles on our website nautil.pl, we can set up our first blog, online shop, social networking sites or a website promoting our business that will appeal to our audience. A few clicks are all it takes to create a beautiful and unique website.

A wide choice of plugins


In WordPress you can quickly add plugins, which are usually completely free, to your project; they add custom options so that you can tailor the website to your needs. Plugins can provide various features, e.g. more advanced security, a search system on your website, optimisation of published content, more advanced content editors and much more. Plugins are created by the huge community of WordPress users.

Beautiful themes


Like plugins, themes are also easy to use: at any time we can change our website's theme to a completely different one. We can choose any of the many themes created by other users. We can also create a theme ourselves and apply it to our own website. We can edit themes however we like, setting the colours, sizes, fonts, layout of our website and many other options.

Valued by professionals


WordPress is valued by highly professional companies all over the world, and many very advanced and visually appealing websites have been built with it, e.g. the websites created by our company nautil.pl.

Why businesses choose WordPress


Businesses choose this system for many reasons, including the fact that it is easy to use and very intuitive. We can quickly adapt our website to our needs by changing themes and rearranging various elements. The website can look exactly the way we want, to match our vision for it. Many people know WordPress, so we can easily gain the knowledge we need to use it. Using WordPress is completely free, so the only costs we have to bear are hosting and a domain.

WordPress and WCAG accessibility


Your own website can quickly be adapted to WCAG standards using one of the many free plugins available that help bring a website into line with WCAG; the articles available on standardwcag.pl can also help with this. WordPress 6.0 also introduced WCAG improvements for people who need such features when creating websites.
