WordPress is designed to be very flexible for both, IT guys and users with no IT backgrounds, It is highly customizable either by installing themes and plugins,or if you have a good php development knowledge you actually can make WordPress to be in any system you like :)

WordPress powers more than 24% of the web — a figure that rises every day. Everything from simple websites, to blogs, to complex portals and enterprise websites, and even applications, are built with WordPress.

 

WordPress combines simplicity for users and publishers with under-the-hood complexity for developers. This makes it flexible while still being easy-to-use.

 

The following is a list of some of the features that come as standard with WordPress; however, there are literally thousands of plugins that extend what WordPress does, so the actual functionality is nearly limitless. You are also free to do whatever you like with the WordPress code, extend it or modify in any way or use it for commercial projects without any licensing fees. That is the beauty of free software, free refers not only to price but also the freedom to have complete control over it.

Well, with wordpress you can have a functional website in just a matter of minutes. You dont have to be an expert in PHP to be able to run a website. One good thing also is that there are a variety of plugins that you can install whichever will fit on your business needs.

Wordpress is a very flexible application that can be used as is for a simple blog/website or as a full-blown cms with advanced functionality, depending on the desired situation. It has an large community and easily extended with plugins and themes.

From a web development point of view the best thing about WordPress is this flexibility as well as the fact that it saves a lot of development time with common functionality already built-in, such as a user authentication system, navigation system, content-creation wyiwyg editor.. etc. Also being built on php it can be hosted almost anywhere with low costs.

As for designers, it is very easy to customize and anyone with basic html and css skills can build themes easily.

From an enduser (website owners) point of view the best thing is that it's user friendly and lots of tutorials are available for most tasks and it's easy to find a developer for the more complex ones.
