WordPress — It’s not just for blogs anymore

WordPress is very well known as a blogging tool. But it’s really much more than that. It is a full-fledged web design and content management system that can handle most anything you can think of.

WordPress has developed a reputation as a solid platform for blogging and Joomla and Drupal as content management systems. While that was true at one time, and it does handle blogging extremely well, it is certainly no longer the case that using WordPress for content management should be confined to the blogosphere.

Since around the launch of WordPress 3.0, the platform has blossomed into a full-fledged content management tool for any type of website, including corporate websites, e-commerce websites, and even web applications. The powerful backend flexibility of WordPress allows it to be used to build sites of any shape or size, with features you would expect to find in a commercial CMS available by means of free or low-cost add-ons. It is widely supported by an active user and developer community, making almost anything you can think of available without the hassle of custom coding.

Here are a few of the sites we’ve built with WordPress that look nothing like blogs. Next time we will post some of our favorite WordPress applications from around the web.
