Fully agree with the author. What we require is Fabrik like plugin (available on joomla ) on wordpress to start with. If any one come out with like this, it will be very interesting indeed.

WordPress is a fantastic platform and I have been using it for years. I am currently about to start a big membership website and though about coding it from scratch but am thinking now I will stick with wordpress and see if I can get it to do what I need

We have built a golf resource center website with WordPress on the net. To my knowledge there is not a website with the same breath & depth as our site. We have over 36+ plugins and 225 pages with only 40 post / videos. So YES WordPress is much more than a blog development tool! AGREE

As with everything open source, you need to pay attention to what you run. While there are some plugins that are poorly coded or executed, there are a huge variety of plugins that are professional-level in quality.

Most people I know that have had horrible plugin issues are ones that simply slap a plugin onto their site without reading any docs and don’t pay attention to how it affected the site.

As for ones that run queries when deactivated, I’ve never seen that. I’m also not sure how it would be possible.

WordPress is extremely versatile, it can do so many things for a client. I a lot of people are starting to see this and moving towards WP.

I think the big red flag with WordPress are the plugins. If not built correctly, can slow down the website considerably. So everyone needs to be weary there. Even if you activate one and then inactivate it, it can still process queries. A sign of a poor plugin and I have seen numerous times.

The customization of wordpress to me is a good thing, as it enables the business itself to target a wide audience, which – for us, is good. More online views anybody?

I agree with you.Over the last few months i have been experimenting with everything from codeigniter,cake php and symfony with a touch of zend here and there.What i have realised,speed is the keyword that you dont wanna rule out.

According to me,it will take you around 2 moths to fugure out that codeigniter will not offer you a lot of things a part from the catch phrase that excites even to the non-programmers.

For symfony it is a very good tool for experienced proggramers.

For wordpress i will hack it to the core and ride it to my liking,why bother learning volumes while i can do what you can do,only better,lol.

Absolutely right. Many web development companies are doing the same things. They are customizing wordpress on request for their clients.
