Prospective clients have recently been coming to me with the desire for a website that they can add updates by themselves … not having to do any coding. My first answer to this has become automatic: WordPress. However, some still think that WordPress is a blogging engine and feel that I may be trying to offer a cheap solution – WRONG.
WordPress has a templating system, which includes widgets that can be rearranged without editing PHP or HTML code, as well as themes that can be installed and switched between. WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine-friendly, clean permalink structure, and a rich plugin architecture which allows users and developers to extend its functionality. The PHP and HTML code in themes can also be edited for more advanced customizations.
Of course, there are alternatives for content management systems (CMS): Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, XOOPS – the list goes on and on. But for the most part, all these other CMS platforms are more comprehensive, more complex, and take longer to configure. The administrative areas are also complicated too, as there are numerous variables.
So what can and what cannot be done with WordPress? Personally, except for large social websites and large corporate sites, I still have not seen the limits of WordPress yet. And so, I have found these non-blog WordPress site examples:

Your site design is the first thing people see – it should be reflective of you and the industry. Easy to look at with a nice navigation (when you can’t find what you want it causes frustration). A clear call-to-action to increase the temptation; use appealing graphics they create motivation.

If you have a website, do you want visitors to read about what you have to offer? Of course you do! You wouldn’t have gone through all the effort of making your website without that consideration. But have you considered whither your viewers are interested in what you have to say?
Your first statement is MOST important. This should also be a heading style, with a keyword phrase or two. This statement should talk about what it was that attracted your visitor to that web page. And the opening statement in the first paragraph, should bate them – should intrigue them to continue.
But if writing is not your strong point, then you best consider partnering with an editor who can massage your words into something more readable, more enjoyable.
Today as I was checking on my new Twitter followers, I came across a Twitter post that talked about integrating Facebook with your WordPress blog. After doing a search (the guy didn’t even post a link), I found John Echman’s plugin, WPBook.
So I went to my admin pages,and under Plugins » Add New, I entered the term, WPBOOK, installed it, and then went to apply configurations. That’s when I found that this plugin also leads to a much greater application, creating a Facebook app. Lucky for me, John had included detailed instructions that easily lead me into making a company page for my blog posts.
It’s a shame that John doesn’t describe this awesome plugin in depth, I’m sure that more people would be using it. So I went ahead and copied the instructions (it’s inside of the admin » plugin files), and made this web page …
enjoy!
As I sit and do some research for Twitter marketing strategies, it struck me to reach out and say a personal Hi to everyone who reads, learns, comments and yes — even disagrees with the information I publish on this blog.
Thank YOU for reading!
… I also wanted to remind you how to leave comments about my posts. Just below the title of each post, you will see “Add Comment” – the last words listed there. All you need to do is to click on the link and you will be taken to a form where you can leave your question or comment.
Why would you want to leave a comment?
1. If you feel passionately about a topic or piece of content – then let your voice be heard, it only takes 10-15 seconds
2. You can get your questions answered — this is a great (and free) way to ask me questions about search engine optimization, internet business building, website development, or just about anything you want … I’ll typically post a reply within 24-hours (often within the hour).
3. By leaving a comment on my blog, you get to post your name and website – if someone sees your comment (I get hundreds of readers each day), they will often click on your name which will go to your website and you get some free traffic … your welcome!
