Anyone use WordPress to make websites?

I guess it's pretty trendy now to make websites using wordpress. Who needs dreamweaver anymore?

Does anyone have experience in this? Also anyone use Thesis? It's a content management system for WP that is a lot better but it's not free

Apple offers iWeb.

I've tried it a couple of times and have not been able to get beyond the first page.

Wordpress rocks. A lot of websites are done using it now adays. And it's content management driven too. Tons of themes and templates out there that are fully customizable

Re: Anyone use WordPress to make websites?

I think I am going to start integrating Wordpress as a blog platform into my site and my clients. I have heard it it best in that area.

Re: Anyone use WordPress to make websites?

But I also see alot of feedback from designers who talk about how easy it is to hack. One big web company got hacked on their Wordpress App and links were inserted to malware sites. If this happens to one of my sites my server will erase all of my sites from their server to eliminate the threat. Niether me nor my clients can afford that. Second, creating "simple" awesome websites is good, but the more complex you want to get with a site, videos, music, flash, etc. Then Wordpress gets complicated. It has great SEO potential and would work well for simpler sites or small business. But it would be a nightmare if not impossible for large page sites. In my situation for my e-commerce clients its not a secure platform.

Overall , it seems to be a great tool for the most common of sites, but if your needing a site that does more (e-commerce,classifieds,etc etc) it may not be enough. I will probably use it as an add-on.
