Our new **“WordPress in 2025”** report highlights why WordPress should be a cornerstone of your long-term strategy. Stay ahead of the curve—read the report now to see how WordPress can drive growth and innovation for your business in the years to come.  Some of the key points we explore: * As proprietary “next-gen” CMS hype fizzles out and enterprise budgets shift priorities, open-source CMSs like WordPress are primed to gain ground in the commoditized CMS space. WordPress’ maturity and extensibility provide a high starting point for innovation. * WordPress’ Block Editor has seen tremendous investment, amassing over 34,000 commits – more than entire competing CMS projects. New capabilities like Full Site Editing (FSE) give enterprises unprecedented ability to enable no-code site building. * Just as being the first user-friendly publishing tool propelled WordPress’ initial growth, AI presents a similar opportunity. WordPress’ contributor community can build not just AI features, but an exciting multi-agent, LLM-agnostic ecosystem representing an intelligent content operating system. * Pure-play headless vendors are working backwards to add no-code editing, while WordPress has long supported robust headless capabilities alongside its mature editor. For complex sites, hybrid architectures leveraging both are the pragmatic path forward.
