Making a great WP website

I have created a new website which can be found in my sig. I am using WP not so much as a blog but as a CMS. I am quite unfamliar with WP and I was wondering what widgets or ad ons that will help improve the website. Also does anyone know of any websites that look professional with adertising already layed out in the design. Thanks guys

 

Seems like a pretty good theme. Good luck!

 

Some "Must Have" plugins:

• All in one SEO
• Google sitemap generator

After that it depends what you want to do. I am using WP as a CMS and there are plugins for everything e.g. to create an ecommerce store, to make it easy for people to use social bookmarking, etc etc

Hope this helps

 

Currently it looks still like a blog to me.

Plugins i recommend are usually blog layout related.

What features do you have in mind? as you suggest more CMS.

 

all in one seo, recent posts, add to any subscriber, tags, google sitemap, google analytics are some plugins and widgets which will help u.

 

you can also use akismet (which comes with WP by default), recent posts, recent comments plugins, etc.

 

Thanks for the comments keep them coming if you can. Yeah I want this to be a cms site but still cant quite find the right plugins.

 

I use the twitter plugin to update my twitter account automatically whenever I post a blog... ..

 

I use CC plugin (caffienated content) of WP. You can google it for best deals on it. Its the best to give a very quality look to your blog. PM me if you need help in finding it.
