Setting up a new website has never been easier and building a professional looking online presence can now be accomplished in a matter of minutes. My favorite content management system is by far wordpress for its simple and light infrastructure while allowing extremely advanced website functionalities with the help of widgets and plugins. Most people associate wordpress with blogs (as the program was intended for) and in fact smokinlinux.com is powered by wordpress as well. But I find that WP is a great solution for any type of site, not only blogs.
What’s really great about WP is the fact that it has been embraced by such a wide user base and therefore so many themes have been created for it, many of them distributed free to use. You can find a huge selection of free wordpress themes at topwpthemes.com. Don’t assume that just because the themes at topwpthemes.com are free, they are of poor quality. In fact, you can find extremely professional looking themes on the site to match any type of blog or website. I especially recommend checking out their “widget ready” selection (currently at 122 themes) to make sure your site is future proof and ready for any enhancements you may wish to add.
