WordPress is, by far, the most widely used CMS in the world — and it’s easy to see why. It’s easy to get started and has a wide-scale infrastructure of supporting plugins, services, and software that work with Wordpress. We recommend it for simpler sites or for organizations already used to Wordpress.

If you want to build something, it's very likely it has already been built, so you just install it instead of building it from scratch.
