CMS stands for content management system. WordPress isn’t the only CMS out there, but it is by far the most dominant. It powers 64.1% of all sites that use a content management system and holds a majority share in the market.

Its closest competitor, Shopify, trails far behind with a measly 3.2% market share. Despite the fact that Shopify is a dedicated eCommerce solution and WordPress is not, WordPress is still the most popular eCommerce CMS on the market”.
