if you think wordpress is limited as a CMS, then I'll guess you haven't delved into custom post types, adding custom meta fields and modifying the admin interface, custom queries, or the whole hook and filter system and writing plugins. it wasn't designed to be everything to everyone but to be easily extensible, that's the whole point. if you don't know php and take the time to learn the system, then yeah, you're probably thinking it's just for blogs and can't do much. I used to write my cms mostly from scratch, starting with the same database access layer and a template system like smarty. wp for me is just taking that process to the next level, with more of the plumbing done for me and a community of code to draw from.

http://commons.gc.cu…spraycanII - yes, it's a tradeoff. in the end it's whatever works for the client and their budget.acescence
- and those are just default templates, admittedly ugly, but it's the back-end stuff that matters to me.acescence
