19% of the Web powered by WordPress?

In July 2013 Matt Mullenweg, the creator of WordPress told the audience the WordCamp conference in San Francisco that “up to 18.9% of the web [is] running WordPress”.

That’s a terrific statistic, and for more fun stats on how popular WordPress is right now, check out WordPress stats.

It’s impressive, and it demonstrates how versatile WordPress is. It was born as a simple blogging platform, but is now a framework of code that can be used to create  online stores, magazines, portfolios, social networks. Really anything!

In my opinion, the beauty of WordPress is that clients like it because the admin area is so usable, powerful and intuitive. Developers like it because the framework is so easy to work with, powerful to extend, well documented and stable. In short, code is poerty.
