The secret is out. Any web design made in HTML + CSS can be achieved more easily in the Wordpress (WP) platform, especially by non expert programmers. A wealth of WP theme templates and plugins is available to replace custom code and script add-ons needed in straight HTML designs. Plus Wordpress helps designers manage content with databases and tracking of Page and Post entries.
In fact, WP recently was named the "Overall Best Open Source CMS Award" by PACKT Publishing. Millions of sites use Wordpress, including businesses that don't want to look like blogs.
Although experience with building web sites the "old way" can help, no programming skills are needed to work in Wordpress. Installation can be handled almost automatically, by responding to questions. Add-ons with plugins are "just follow the easy directions."
But don't wait to learn the hard way that standard installations are well understood by hackers, hijackers. "Tips" teaches how to enhance security in ways to thwart malicious programmers.
Another strength of Wordpress is the numerous thousands of free and low fee themes. "Tips" describes best ways to cut through the theme search which could easily take up the rest of a webmaster's life. And small changes to a theme do not require a degree in programming... just keep backups of prior versions in case of "oops!" Or try one of the interactive theme generators described on "Tips."
Tips Wordpress Com demonstrates use of a free theme with free plugins to make a customized fluid design, which adjusts to changes in browser window size. Discussions cover usability concerns, friendliness to old eyes and color blindness, with emphasis on easy navigation. (Don't turn away about one fourth of potential visitors to your site.)
Low cost plugins are introduced for adding such e-commerce functions as shopping cart, affiliate platform, membership, ad systems, sales pages, squeeze pages, and more. Or learn how to make your own custom landing pages, even import your existing HTML content, for any Wordpress theme.
There is even a guide for cut and paste use of PHP dynamic date functions for non programmers.
"Tips" even discusses dealing with spam marketing, and how to not be an offensive marketer.
