Here are the best and most popular CMS options and their features:
WordPress
Over 43.2% of all websites use WordPress, making it the most popular CMS platform. WordPress is an open-source software known for its flexibility and scalability. Moreover, its gallery of over 58,000 WordPress plugins helps users create any type of website.
Pros:
- The cost is flexible to individual needs and budgets.
- Customize using an extensive gallery of free WordPress themes and great plugins.
Cons:
- Not all WordPress plugins and themes are reliable or of high quality.
- Lacks personal customer support. Instead, it relies primarily on forums, tutorials, and documentation.
Best for:
WordPress can work for all levels of users, from those who wish to start a simple blog to those creating a complex site. A notable example of a WordPress site is Sony Music, which displays images and videos of its featured artists.

Cons:
- Web development terminology featured in the control panel is not beginner-friendly.
