Wordpress - Can I Customise a Design EXACTLY How I Wish?

    Hi all

    I'm thinking of using Wordpress for a CMS (non-technical client wants to be able to add/delete pages and change content for a small website).

    I've a good knowledge of html and css but have found Joomla pretty off-putting and so am about to look into Wordpress. Before I do, can anyone tell me if I can use Wordpress to create WHATEVER design I wish (I currently use Expression and this lets me code whatever design I can dream up for customers) or will I be constrained as to what designs I can offer customers? For example, could I use Wordpress to create the two designs in my signature?

    Many thanks to anyone who replies.

    You can customize anything you want to with Wordpress. If you don't already know PHP, get learning - a sound understanding of how to code is the best tool you can have.
    Install Wordpres, get a basic theme and rip it apart and add your own HTML/CSS. Soon enough you'll know what you're doing :).
