WordPress was born in 2003 when Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg created a fork of the defunct b2/cafelog CMS created by French PHP programmer Michel Valdrighi in 2001.

People with little experience in technology, design or programming can use it "just like that", and experts can customise it almost without limits.
