Joost de Valk, who recently took up the new role of Marketing Lead for WordPress, breaks down some of W3Techs‘ market share data and shares some important trends he’s spotted. 📊 A key takeaway:
“On the whole, Open Source market share is growing, but really only because of WordPress and a tiny bit of help from Prestashop. I think this is worrying. We’re losing diversity in the CMS market, and with it, we’re losing open source alternatives.”
The latest WordPress Marketing Team meeting notes include the news that WordPress has reached a 33% market share — a third of the web. We also learn Joost is initiating “a redesign for the WordPress showcase” that will be done by Pragmatic and include case studies that agencies can tag to better display their work.
