WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system. Originally launched as a blogging platform back in 2003, WordPress now powers 29% of all websites and controls a massive 59.8% of the known content management system market.

Some notable examples of famous entities using WordPress for all, or part, of their web presence are:

• Whitehouse.gov
• Sony Mobile
• University of Washington
• Mercedes Benz
• TechCrunch
• The New Yorker

Drupal has been around for even longer than WordPress, though it lacks WordPress’ gaudy market share. Originally launched in 2000, Drupal powers 2.3% of all websites and has a 4.6% share of the content management system market.

Some notable websites running on Drupal are:

• University of Colorado
• State of Colorado
• The Economist
