Easy site – suggestions

  • A friend is considering moving his website to WordPress. He has a site for a trad. jazz band with a static front page with details of the band, and an additional page which he changes fairly regularly with upcoming gig details. I already know WP but was looking for suggestions from other WP’ers

  • Hi there,

    I currently maintain about 200 WordPress installations. All of them are sites from clients and the corresponding themes are handcrafted from scratch to fit the needs of the clients. I moved half of those sites from static html files or other CMSes.

    Moving to WordPress means for the clients to be able to edit and extend a site easily. (As long as the coder has done a good job in developing the theme…)

    So my suggestion would be: yes, he should move! ??

    Regards,
    Marcus

    Thanks Marcus

    He IS going to move. I already have my own site, but he is looking for a simple 2 page theme (1 static, one with gigs) that he could look after easily and install easily

    I am simply looking for suggestions for a really simple wp theme with a static front page and a page for gig lists.
    A friend has asked me as I already have a wp site, but i don’t have the time to plough through everything that’s currently available – hence my question

    Other than “Try one of these” there’s not much anyone can/should opine on.

    These aren’t opinion forums, they’re support forums as in “I tried X and it didn’t do what I thought it would. Also the building burnt down, what did I do wrong?”

    This topic isn’t that. Have you considered joining a site that may be more along those lines? Here’s 2 sites that that may be more palatable.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/advancedwp/

    Note: I’m not an admin or moderator in either place and I’ve never posted there. I’m pretty sure this would be OK there but I may also be completely wrong. I’m not wrong about this place though. ??

    If something breaks, then yes. Please do ask here. If you’re looking for discussion then that’s not for here. Please consider one of those other sites instead.
