Matt B Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Hi, I have heard of Word Press but it seems to me they just supply templates for web sites. I am designing my web site using PHP, MySQL with DreamWeaver so Word Press is not useful to me, right? Any other opinions...advice... Thanks, Matt.

Wordpress is a open source Content Management System(CMS). Wordpress is basically for creating blogs but you can easily develop website by customizing it. Wordpress websites are search- engine friendly too. My many websites are wordpress based.

son0fhobs Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I have heard of Word Press but it seems to me they just supply templates for web sites. I am designing my web site using PHP, MySQL with DreamWeaver so Word Press is not useful to me, right? It would make your life a heck of a lot easier. The user interface, means a lot less coding, and you can always use Dreamweaver to edit the theme (template) or plugins you're using. You can grab a theme and a few plugins and have a great site up and running in a few minutes, then just edit until you've perfected it how you want it. But then again, I'm just a huge WP fan, so I'm sure others have their own opinions. Either way, it's worth checking out due to its prevalence.

Zane Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 IMO, Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etcetera are all just a way to get the job of webmastering done more quickly and.... lazily. Most that decide to use Wordpress and such fall into one of either categories - The person is intelligent enough to click through steps to create a website - The person is too lazy to reinvent the wheel and suckers for a prefinished one. And lastly, If you haven't the slightest clue of what HTML is, you most likely have no understanding of the descriptions above Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/233806-is-word-press-just-a-template-company/#findComment-1205452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplewd Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Most of the advantages of wordpress has already been mentioned, I just want to add - in my case its the user admin that counts. I do web design too and with WP, now my client can change the contents all by themselves so I can be even lazier Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/233806-is-word-press-just-a-template-company/#findComment-1206466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
