WordPress for Business Sites
Lately I’ve been looking for a good solution for my Paniris Web Development website. Historically I’ve been a huge advocate of home-grown solutions, and because of my programming background I always enjoyed creating the site from the ground up. Lately though I have had the opportunity to play around with some nice open source software (WordPress, Mambo) and have realized that there is a plethora of good software packages out there. But do they fit my needs?
I want something that’s easy to customize, scalable, and business oriented. I’ve found WordPress to be very customizable and flexible, but lets face it… its blogging software. And then there’s Mambo. I’ve spent countless hours trying to navigate my way through the configuration admin and have been thouroughly disgusted with the lack of user-friendlyness.
I *wish* I could do a home-grown solution for Paniris, but I’m tired of my personal websites going stale while I work on other peoples sites. I will probably resort to using WordPress in the end (which is good news, since I just spent the last 4 hours working on a new theme).
If anyone knows of a good hyrbid solution, drop me a line!
