For Your Blog Only? Think Again! These 35 Global Brands Use WordPress as CMS
WordPress has become far more than just a blogging software. Even large and highly complex sites with millions of visitors each month can be realized with this flexible solution created by Automattic. The worldwide success of the free content management system seems unstoppable. About 60% of all websites using a CMS run on WordPress – with an upward tendency. WordPress is the only CMS gaining market share at high speed, whereas all other systems stagnate or even lose on market share.

With proper configuration, WordPress can handle millions of monthly visitors easily, which is one reason why even large and well-known brands rely on WordPress.

I thought the same, but I am running a stock portal which is developing rapidly and the WP “blog” format is not sufficient enough now and still thinking about changing the platform. But do knot know what CMS should i choose
Wow ! such a cool list, without these some other top brand also using WordPress, thanks to share this list.
