[wp-testers] using word press

[Joseph Ortenzi]

HI Marvin

I think it is a great idea to consider wordpress for your site, rather than
a more complex CMS. WordPress has a great collection of plug-ins that should
cover most of what you will likely need, and a large community of developers
who can help you out with the rest.

As you know, the important part of a website is the content.

Before you start though you should consider a content audit and strategy,
your information architecture, and the type(s) of activities you want your
users to be engaged in. Once you have that clear in your mind, and planned
out in a document, you will be better placed to consider how to implement it
into a CMS

I hope you found this helpful
Joe
