WordPress wins CMS Awards

November 20, 2009  FILED TO: Software, Web Design

I’ve been using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System) for about four years now.  Back when I began, it was simply a blogging platform but I discovered it was easy to customise, easy for clients to add content and came with lots of useful plugins and an open API, which made it ideal in my eyes for a simple CMS.  Indeed, over the years I’ve created some interesting functionality for different sites using a mixture of plugins and custom code. It seems that other people reached the same conclusion over the years and Wordpress took note and began adding useful CMS features.

And this week, the makers of WordPress finally have recognition for their great work – they have won the Overall Best Open Source CMS Award at the 2009 Open Source CMS Awards. Congratulations WordPress, I will continue to use and recommend your CMS!
