Someone shared a PDF from the White House website in a Telegram channel. I opened the link and noticed the URL had a very familiar WordPress structure.

That made me curious, so I checked the site and looked through the source code.

And yep — it’s actually WordPress.

I honestly had no idea the official White House website was running on WordPress. I always assumed a site like that would use some completely custom government CMS.

A lot of people look down on WordPress, but if you know how to use it properly, it’s one of the most powerful and widely used CMS platforms out there.

The White House using it is a pretty good reminder that the tool itself isn't the limitation — how you build with it is.

What other major or well-known websites do you know that are built with WordPress?
