Let’s start with a few facts – WordPress powers more than 38% of all websites in the world and 58.7% of the CMS (content management system) market. Personal website, blog, portal, corporate website and even applications are just some of the web content that WordPress has to offer. This makes it extremely suitable not only for individual website development, but also for corporate ones.

The platform was born when the support of the blogging software b2/cafelog was discontinued by its founders. Then Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little, who were using the software, decided to start their own platform, working with b2/cafelog. Thus, on May 27, 2003, the WordPress platform was launched with some significant improvements. Since then, the platform has gained increasing popularity, proving itself as an absolute leader in website development software.

And although most people still think that the platform is only good for small to medium-sized websites, we will present you with several examples of websites developed with WordPress that will completely disprove this opinion.

Here are 10 of the most famous websites developed with the platform:
