I am looking for examples of sites using wordpress as a cms. I am trying to convey to a client that just because it is a blog platform it doesn't mean the end result looks or feels like a blog. Any example links would be great.
just look the recent blog section of digital point forum members. you will see a lot of wp example sites
You should try WP-United. It's a system that intergrates Wordpress and PhpBB. You see how it looks on their webpage http://www.wp-united.com.
yeah i just recently heard of that integration of wordpress and phpbb.. quite interesting though.. but i haven't tried it yet
My site is 100% WordPress -- www.modernflat.com It's a blog and a work in progress. WordPress allows for so much customization that I'm always trying to refine the website. I'm working on a few areas of the site that will contain static data (Pages in WP) in a very structured manner. It's surprisingly easy to do. If you really do need a full blown CMS then WP won't cut it. However if you are running anything short of an enterprise level web/intranet then I think WP can be a good solution.
