Free & open source
WordPress
Free alternative to: Wix / Squarespace
License: GPL-2.0-or-later
Free terms: Completely free; self-hosted, no license fee (web hosting costs are separate and paid to your host, not WordPress).
What it does
The free, open-source CMS that powers ~40% of the web — themes, plugins, and full control over your content and data.
Heads-up: Verified on wordpress.org's official licensing documentation (make.wordpress.org): 'WordPress is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv2 or later).' Important page-level distinction to make on the tool page: wordpress.org is the free self-hosted software; WordPress.com is Automattic's separate paid hosted service — do not conflate them.
Get it
The project lives with its maintainers — we don't distribute it and we can't provide support for it.
