Examples of WP that don’t look like blogs?

  • I’m researching the possibility of using WordPress to drive a content site for a client. Might you have a favorite example or two of a site where WP is being used but doesn’t look like a traditional blog site? Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Here is a sample of my wordpress site which acts as an online portfolio/blog. The sidebar navigation which I am still working gives a slight impression that this site could be a blog. I think overall- it doesn’t seem bloggish though.

    About nine years ago I built a web site for the Association of British Cycling Coaches, learning html as I went along (you can see it at https://www.abcc.co.uk). Although I’ve been retired as webmaster for four years now I thought I’d refurbish the web site for old times sake (the current web master knows less about html than I did and the site is now broken). So I decided to use WordPress and the ‘Brandford Magazine’ theme to bring it up to date. You can see the result at https://abcc.malfirth.co.uk though there’s very little of the original content there yet.

    My Alex Sandor Painter of Life site is getting alot of interest! I believe it is a good example of not looking like a blog. The Hobbit theme worked well for me after some css mods. A few people have actually purchased paintings from us as investments thanks to the site. I am thinking of using the WP-Auctions plugin and putting some paintings up for auction.

    Here are the latest links to the wordpress auction plugin:

    Here is another link for the WP-Auctions Gold wordpress plugin.

    Here is the PayPal link to purchase WP-Auctions.

    I have read that the auction plugin works very well. I will post here when I get it up and going with WP-Auction Gold.

    Then it definitely won’t look like a blog!

    I’ve just finished a site based on a combination of WordPress and Zen Cart that I think manages not to look too bloggy…it’s at https://www.movieparties.co.uk

    It’s basically providing specially-written, original & fun movie scripts for kids to film at their birthday party with their friends, and so far interest has been huge. Thanks to WordPress for such a flexible platform!

    If anyone has any thoughts or comments, it would be great to hear them – and please don’t hesitate to pass the link to anyone you know with kids 8-14!

    Cheers.

    It took me a few months but my site no longer looks like a normal “blog”

    I’ve just this evening put live the new version of my portfolio/blog, all powered by WordPress. The blog part is still ‘bloggy’ looking, but the rest is more like a traditional portfolio website:

    Not being used as a blog really but, as a pro-active resource to voice opinions about the fate of the Busch Theme Parks.

    I used the CorpBlue Theme.

    hello just joined this forum. i’ve got a site called https://www.theartistsforum.org I’m using iWeb, and apparently I have maxed out the application (getting lots of errors). A tech from Apple suggested I switch to something more pro, like dreamweaver, but also suggested joolma, mooba (not sure if i am spelling these correctly) and finally wordpress, as I have a ‘content’ based site.
    I am not up to snuff on all the terminalogy, but was wondering if someone could take a look at my site and let me know if they think wordpress is the way to go. Oh, and I might add, I definately need something for the long haul and prefer something with a low learning curve lol.

    thanks!

    TAF,
    You are mixing apples and oranges… not to mention you should have started your own topic. This thread about showing off sites made with WP, while you are questionong about the future use of WP.

    Anyway, Dreamweaver and joomla, for example, have nothing in common. One is a desktop html editor the other is an online CMS (content management system). And WP can also be used as a CMS.
    But if you want “low learning curve” then you will never find anything.

    Update to my post above for nomorefreebeer.com. I am now using Code Blue theme. There was something weird going on with corp blue in IE vs Firefox. Was probably something I did but, Code Blue works fine for me.

    I think my site still has some tell-tale blog-like features, but several blog directories have refused my listing on the grounds that “your site is not a blog”.

    See what you think.
