For the first time since its inception, WordPress is experiencing a slight decline in market share for the year 2022. This decline raises concerns among some platform experts and is likely attributed to the market share acquisition by new entrants like Webflow, which is riding the wave of "no-code" popularity. This is something to watch closely 👀 ### The two increasingly popular CMS **Shopify** is an e-commerce website creation platform that has quickly risen to become the second most used CMS platform among companies worldwide in just a few years. This growth is supported by... - The increase in the number of people shopping online (post-COVID-19 e-commerce dynamic) - A well-designed CMS platform that combines advanced design capabilities, user-friendly interface,  and good SEO performance. **Webflow** has increased its market share sixfold in just two years. This is the fastest growth seen by a CMS. And I have a feeling that.... it's not about to slow down! ### Growth drivers **As of May 17, 2022, 33.1% of websites are still developed without a CMS. ** These websites are built without a content management system (CMS) — also referred to as no-code — which complicates, and often makes it impossible, for teams without coding skills to perform daily updates. Take marketing teams as an example? **This number was 76.4% in 2011, indicating a halving over the past decade. ** It seems that companies have started to realize that their websites need to be manageable through a CMS rather than relying solely on a technical team. We believe we will witness a **continued migration to CMS tools** in the coming years due to the marketing growth opportunities that CMSs provide businesses. Unsure which CMS to choose?
