website design job, is wordpress acceptable?
I have been asked to create a website for a small business and I was wondering if wordpress is considered to be an acceptable solution these days.
The last time I created a site for someone was years ago and it was using joomla, the time before that I had to write the cms in coldfusion and it took a long time.
With wordpress I would really only have to design the theme, the backend would look after itself. What I am wondering is, in the world of web designers, would a paying client pay for a wordpress powered website, or would they feel a bit cheated?
I am not fully up to speed with wordpress themes but I have started researching the process and from what I have read so far I shouldn't have any problems with the php or css.
I know a lot of people on here use wordpress, I have started to as well, I am just looking for a few opinions.
I know web designers are notoriously private about how much they charge but would anyone have an idea of the going rate in the UK? Would probably be talking about 8 static pages, each their own category, with multiple sub pages off each of these. I imagine they would then use posts to keep the site updated with all the relevant information.
There has also been talk of some seo.
I will do all the photoshop and illustrator work also.
Thanks
