WordPress is an open source software that is available to as a free download from their website. Anyone can download it and install it on their own server or local server.

It has several applications like a blog, content management system, a social networking website or even an ecommerce website. There are many websites that encourage human interaction. For example a blog website will have posts by several people may encourage comments from the readers as to the quality of the article, or clarifications or even to express their views on the article. Similarly in a social networking website it is possible to encourage user interaction on posts and articles by placing a special comments section that is in built in to WordPress.

On the other hand not all websites like to have the option for the users to interact with the website and comment on the pages or posts published on the website. For example in case of a ecommerce website, you usually don’t require any interaction of the users with the website for most of the pages, except for maybe making a purchase.

It is easy to setup such websites in WordPress, though if you do require additional functionality or want to make it special so that visitors keep coming back you will probably need to hire a WordPress Web developer.
