The open source publishing platform of choice for millions of websites worldwide—from creators and small businesses to enterprises.

## **Design**

Create any website with flexible design tools and the power of blocks. Start with a blank canvas or choose a theme. Customize every detail—no code needed.

## **Build**

See how your site will look in real time, even as you add, edit, and rearrange content—with intuitive editing and integrated features to manage it all.

Try the Block Editor

## **Extend**

Make your site do whatever you need it to. Add a store, analytics, newsletter, social media integration; you’re in control with an extensive library of plugins.

## See what's new

And let the newly structured Style Book help you get the best view. Easier to use in Block themes, it’s also a great way to see what you’re building in certain Classic themes. Do It all faster with improvements under the hood, and more securely than ever with stronger password hashing.
