WordPress as a CMS? Maybe, maybe not. (Intro)

Sitting on a fenceSitting on a Fence

Overview – Many web designers are looking at or currently using WordPress as a Content Management system for their clients. As with any technology there are trade-offs that must be considered. In order to explore this more fully we decided to implement a new site devoted to our Linux Virtual Servers in WordPress. This gave us an opportunity to look at this technology from a different point of view and evaluate it with regards to the following areas:

  • Investigating using WordPress as both a CMS and blog.
  • WordPress Setup.
  • Ease of initial website design and implementation.
  • User generated content.
  • SEO
  • Site performance.
  • Daily Maintenance
  • Security

In part 1 I’ll cover using our investigations into using WordPress as a CMS and what is required to use WordPress and our design constraints.

    I just want to know what template do you use? Is it a expensive template? Did you hired a freelancer to make this? I like that design.

    As you did mention which template I’ll tell you about two of them.
    The template for active-server.com is a template we put together from various ideas from the web.
    The linux-virtual-servers.com template is based on this template:
    http://www.nuviotemplates.com/preview.php?template=impress-01
    which we licensed from http://www.nuviotemplates.com/ in order to remove the back link.
