We have become quite enamored, of late, with the WordPress website engine and the extensive collection of themes (site designs) available for it. This powerful, stand-alone, package offers the framework for establishing a multi-page website that features a built in blog. Various free and commercial theme offerings provide hundreds, perhaps thousands, of page layout choices. You don’t need a great deal of experience to get your own great looking website up and running.

We have now used the WordPress engine for several of our own sites and have installed it for several clients. We have also worked with website developers around the world who are using it. Tim Mooney, from near Sydney, Australia, has made it his standard. Dan Therrell, from Fairhope, Alabama, has used it for a couple of his own sites and is now offering it as one of his main selections. Our own MSMOsites website community offers three different packages built on the WordPress framework.

The more we work with it, and especially on our own projects where we have full creative input, the more we are amazed by its flexibility, capability, function, and resilience. We are thoroughly impressed by the range of plug-ins and add-on features as well. There is even a full-function shopping cart plug-in which turns it into a web store.

The thing to understand is that WordPress is no longer just for blogging. It has become a full-fledged content management system. This means you can use it for almost any website task from personal blogging and information sites to photo galleries, full-function e-commerce web stores, and fully customized multi-purpose website projects. WordPress is, without a doubt, incredibly versatile. It can even be used to create a website without a blog!

Our site (this one) is a multi-page semi-custom content management site built using the WordPress engine as it’s base. There is very little additional HTML and content can be added and changed readily. If you are looking for a new website the WordPress solution is worth considering. It can actually be used without any knowledge of HTML or other coding. If you have been holding back because of cost and/or complexity you need not wait any longer. This is something you can do yourself or hire done at a very affordable price.
