Short answer: no. Site44 provides no ability to execute server-side scripts. Wordpress needs a server that can run the PHP scripting language.
The crucial concept here is that Site44 only supports static web pages. Wordpress generates its pages dynamically.

@IsaacRabinovitch: Of course it isn’t in general. But when you are setting one up then you have to know what you are doing. There’s a reason you need a driving licence before you are allowed to drive a car—running a web site is not that much different. – Vucar Timnärakrul – 2014-10-24T21:15:06.713
