Hi guys,

Have any of you used Web Studio 5.0 (by Back to the Beach software)?
I have used previous versions "tinkering around" at websites and found it easy to use. Am I wasting my time thinking about it and would be better off using Wordpress or something like it?

    I've never used that software, but I think it's pretty hard to go wrong with Wordpress.

    It's Free

    WordPress is an Open Source software which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial website without have to pay a single dime for it. It is built on PHP/MySQL (which is again Open Source) and licensed under GPL.

    User Friendly

    You don't really have to be experienced to use WordPress on your website. Nowadays most of the hosting companies provide the ability to install WordPress on your site at a single click of the mouse. The administration section is easy to navigate and its even easy to add articles/content to your website.

    Themes
    You will never run short of templates when using WordPress. If you don't like the themes that come with the default installation of WordPress, you can hunt on the Internet and you will find thousands of free themes that you can download and use for your website. There are themes which can even make your website look like a regular site instead of a blog.

    Plugins
    WordPress plugins allow you to do just about anything that you want and can be installed in a jiffy. For example, you want to paginate your blog posts, just look on Google and you can easily find the relevant plugin that will easily do the job for you.

    SEO
    Search Engines have to be definitely kept in mind when building a website. WordPress uses different functions which allow it to be search engine friendly. For example sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags etc.

    Support
    There is a large user community backing the development of this software. So, whenever you face any problems, you can go through all the available WordPress forums and communities and find answers for all your questions.

      That's true, Wordpress is brilliant for most websites. The only problem I have is trying to make a website, using Wordpress, that doesn't look like a blog. Perhaps I'm not experienced enough in Wordpress? :confused:

    Web Studio has unlimited expansion. Create your own graphics and insert them into Web Studio. Use the HTML editor to bring in your own HTML and also edit the HTML of the objects and pages of your website.
