# демократизація видавничої справи

the freedom to build. the freedom to change. the freedom to share.

## наша історія

WordPress started in 2003 when Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg created a fork of 
b2/cafelog. The need for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing system
was clear even then. Today, WordPress is built on PHP and MariaDB, and licensed 
under the GPLv2. It is also the platform of choice for over 43% of all sites across
the web.

The WordPress open source project has evolved in progressive ways over time—supported
by skilled, enthusiastic developers, designers, scientists, bloggers, and more. 
WordPress provides the opportunity for anyone to create and share, from handcrafted
personal anecdotes to world-changing movements.

People with a limited tech experience can use it “out of the box”, and more tech-
savvy folks can customize it in remarkable ways.

## наша місія

### WordPress is designed for everyone.

We believe great software should work with minimum set up, emphasizing accessibility,
performance, security, and ease of use. The basic WordPress software is simple and
predictable, offering powerful features for growth and success.

### WordPress is open source software.

Supporting the idea of democratizing publishing and the freedoms that come with 
open source, is a large community of people collaborating on and contributing to
this project.

### WordPress is welcoming and inclusive.

Our contributors’ passion drives the success of WordPress which, in turn, helps 
you reach your goals. WordPress contributors work around the globe, and have dedicated
countless hours to build a tool that offers anyone a voice.
