I have only used Wordpress for design, and I'm curious how this page was designed: http://africaisrising.biz/ Does it look like it was done from the ground up or like they used a blogging platform and edited it that way? It's pretty basic, but I like the design, and because I'm only beginning to learn design, I'd like some reference points so I can focus my efforts. Thanks for the help!
Ah! This is paper.li; I retract my question and pose another: Is it Wordpress the best choice for designing a site similar to this, but without using paper.li? Or are there other options?
Hi yoopea, in my opionion Wordpress is the best cms for this type of blog. Many famous blog/site are based on Wordpress: MTV, Yahoo Blog, Ebay Blog, Balckberry, CNN, NYT Blog... an many many other.. Bye
To be honest, i don't see any design at all. It's more like plain naked website with a little, and i really mean very little, bit of CSS. I don't see any effort on it to be called a website with a "design". It probably just me though.
