Website for Service Business

    What Content Management software do you suggest for a service business website? I would really like to use Wordpress since I am already familiar with it but don't know how well that would work.

    WordPress would work great. Here are a few examples of service business websites I've done using WordPress:


    Desert Sands Acupuncture

    Cornelia Smyth
    My Web Design Business

    There is some manipulation of WordPress queries to get those features. And CSS to create look and feel. If you aren't familiar with those things, it will be a challenge. But it's not going to be any easier for any other CMS you choose, because no matter what solution you implement, you're going to have to customize it to acheive the results you want.

    With that said, WordPress is by far the easiest solution with the shortest learning curve in my opinion. And it's a bonus that you're already familiar with it.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Ralph were those free themes that you used? Those sites look great and it's exactly what I am looking for my clients.

    Thanks. The first two are custom modifications of the WordPress default theme. My web design site uses the Revoltuion theme, which was a premium theme and is now open source.
