wordpress as CMS

bheller — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:58:35 +0000

We are redesigning our entire website on a wordpress platform, integrating Koha (we're in the migration and testing phase) and probably Omeka. The sticker right now is what to use for our member database - whether Koha is extensible beyond library purposes, or if we need something else. We currently use iMis.

Anybody doing any of that?

We're using WordPress as a supplementary CMS to support user interactions with content - it'll store blog style content from the museum, and all user comments, votes, polls, etc, regardless of whether they were about content on the WordPress sections or in our main CMS.

WordPress is certainly an easy win for some situations - our use above is more specialised. What kind of site did you have in mind?

cheers, Mia
