WordPress as a Content Management System
Yes, WordPress is used most often to create a blog – but it is not at all limited to bloggers. WordPress is an amazing Content Management System and with so many awesome premium themes available these days it’s easier than ever to create a great look and manage large amounts of content.
I have worked extensively with the Revolution Themes lately and I love it. It’s flexible and the code is dreamy to work with. This site is built with Revolution Pro Business.
A new premium theme I’m hungry to work with is the WP Remix. It promises to be the ‘only’ wordpress theme you’ll ever need for all of your projects.
Do you have a content site you want to move from HTML to WordPress? Freshnets would love to help you with the process!
