WordPress in 2025: The Future of CMS
WordPress continues to prove its dominance as an open-source powerhouse. The WordPress in 2025 report by Noel Tock highlights key trends shaping the CMS landscape, including:
✅ Open-Source Over Proprietary: Enterprises are shifting back to cost-effective, flexible CMS solutions like WordPress and Drupal.
✅ No-Code Innovation: Full-Site Editing (FSE) and Block Themes empower content teams to build and customise websites without needing developers.
✅ AI + WordPress: Instead of relying on closed-source AI features, WordPress users can integrate their own AI-powered tools for content creation, automation, and SEO optimisation.
✅ Headless is Changing: The future is hybrid, combining the best of traditional CMS with API-driven experiences.
If you’re a web developer or business owner, now is the time to rethink your WordPress strategy and take advantage of these advancements.
