  There's a moment that every person building their first website knows intimately. You're staring at a blank screen. A cursor blinks. You've got something real to say — a business to grow, a service to offer, a story to tell — and suddenly the whole internet feels like it belongs to someone else. Someone with a computer science degree, a development team, and money to burn. That moment of self-doubt is precisely why WordPress was born.
