I work with a lot of small businesses to build an effective website and presence for Local SEO - and WordPress is a great way to go. I wrote an article based on my experience with this called Why Use WordPress to Power Your Small Business website.

An easy-to-use and tweak theme based on the blue sky background image. Two columns, widget-ready, gravatar-ready, and SEO friendly, brought to you by The English Guy. :)

I´m using wordpress for some easy websites, too. It is one of the easiest to learn for customers, no complicated Backend and Basic functions. But I´m not sure about the security risks, WP is not known to be the safest CMS…

very intereesting post

Great post. We use WP on our network consulting corporate site to help pass on information to our clients, we are really impressed with the functionality and ease of use.

I’ve recently started using WordPress for site building as well. I just finished http://www.progpowerusa.com recently. I actually had a guy email me once he discovered (in the URL structure) that I was using WordPress. To me, that told me it didn’t have so much that “blog” feel and I accomplished what I intended with that.

I have a few more I am building now as well, learn something new every day to do with it!

I discovered WordPress two years ago and now I use it as CMS for all websites I’m doing for my clients. I didn’t know about the custom login plugin, I just modified the original wp-login file to do what I needed.

I’ve only been designing for a few years, but I have found WP to be a fantastic CMS once I can get in and create a theme and manipulate it for a client’s site. I have a pretty simple process:

1) Figure out the site architecture the client wants
2) Make some comps for the design for approval
3) Create a custom WP theme with all template files and CSS
4) Drop the images and files into the client’s directories
5) Tweak templates and files with conditional tags if needed
6) Add the final icing on the cake for branding, a custom login using Binary Moon’s custom login plugin
7) Finish and feel great about the client having an easy way to manage their site!

The web design and development team I’m working with, sees WordPress a fear solutions for most of its clients. Along with the rich WP plug-ins “directory” it is great.

I think that the average wordpress.com blogger would be surprised what people are doing with WP.

LJUrban is using WP with a custom theme and some added bits.

I would have to say that between Plugins, Sidebar registration, & Widgets you can build a WP site that allows its user to do just about anything.

If i could give the WP development team a big high five for what they’ve done, I would.

It’d work for websites that don’t require much pizzazz, but for anything more than that you’d be much better off using a regular CMS or getting a custom one made.

I find myself repeatedly surprised when I see WordPress being used for a site I had no idea it was being used for. A recent example is when the company I work for was asked to redesign the website of a major UK university, and we found it was all produced in WordPress (albeit not particularly well).

Yes, this is so true, i myself have been using WP for my projects and clients.

I’ve written a post that might benefit those who are interested in doing the same:
