You can use any theme as a CMS - Just remember that you can make pages as well as posts - You can also set any of those pages as the front page.

Play around with the menus a bit and you have a CMS.

PS. What sort of site is it - Video, Products...........?

Like what's posted above, Wordpress is the CMS. Any THEME can be modified to do what you want, if you don't want something built from scratch.

There's a big backend that you can use to make static pages/blogs/anything really. It takes a bit to get used to, though.

Yes something along these lines

https://www.jangomail.com/index.aspx

http://www.oceanbasket.com/
http://www.pixilate.com/

pretty standards site but then a link on the tabs menu to a blog part too. I am guessing there is a way to make the static website parts pages and the blog parts posts?

I made mine.

Works great.

Wordpress is the CMS. The theme is just the looks of the CMS on the frontend. You can literally take any theme and make it look anyway you want.

Yes I agree however it makes sense to base my design on a theme that has some of the work already done

I understand. What kind of look are you searching for? There are so many themes. But Wordpress, the backend, is the CMS. Not the frontend.

BareBacked · 03-03-2013, 11:19 PM

When I say CMS I mean a theme that will run a website rather than a blog..

Make more sense?
I know what WP is and I know what themes are ;)
