If you haven’t noticed, WordPress is growing:
- WordPress comprises 14.7% of the top million websites in the world, up from 8.5%.
- 22 out of every 100 new active domains in the US are running WordPress.
WordPress recently conducted their first user and developer survey, which received over 18,000 responses from all over the world:
Impressive!
If you look really close, you can see mine 😉
From the State of the Word:
We found a few interesting tidbits from the survey responses already, including that 6,800 self-employed respondents were responsible for over 170,000 sites personally, and charged a median hourly rate of $50. In tough economic times, it’s heartening to see Open Source creating so many jobs. (If each site took only 3 hours to make, that’s $29.5M of work at the average hourly rate.)
I remember standing at the crossroads of Drupal, Joomla and WordPress. After reading and reading, I hesitantly decided to dive into WordPress.
I’m so glad I chose WordPress!
