By now, I think most of you should know that WordPress can do more than just a blog platform. With WordPress, plus some plugins, you can build almost any type of websites. To show you what I mean, I have collected 30 websites that use WordPress for different purposes — from general websites to portfolios, ecommerce and corporate sites. Hope this post will open up more ideas for you to use WordPress.

Great post Nick! I recently started doing tutorials on how to create wordpress themes. I need to look at some of these so I can teach how to make sites like these.
Are you aware?

I didn’t knew that some of those websites were even WordPress powered! Great post!
Waw! Very cool! Worpress very cool CMS!
Much respect to wordpress and to you Nick. Nice collection.

All great designs and implementations. Thanks for the list! Niceness.
Great list, thank you. Especially like Jeff Finley´s from Go Media site
Wouldn’t the right word be “atypical”? :)
very cool sites. thank you. i think this site also also atypical wordpress http://shca.com
Some great examples of using wordpress for more than just a blog. I think it speaks volumes of the wordpress platform that you can achieve so many different styles. I’m not sure I’d want to use anything else when creating a website (blog or not).
Thanks, it is encouraging to see this. I have just recently started building everything in WordPress, and I am loving it.
Fantastic collection. As always, thanks for the inspiration!
Good article:D will come back again=)
It’s nice to see people using WordPress as more than just a blog platform without the usual “blog template” look. I’d love to get a peek into how the admin side is set up, what with the Page templates and whatnot. This is the sort of thing I want to do with my own fine art website. Great collection!
Maybe finally someone would post more that one e-commerce WP based website? noupe.com the same… only icondock :/
Has anyone seen any WordPress sites done for Dj’s?
Its awesome how WordPress can work for ANY kind of websites. The extreme possibilities with the help of custom fields, short codes, custom panels, control panels and plugins makes it really easy to develop and mantain a website with WordPress.
I heart WordPress.
Great list, great to be in your list. Thanks so much!
Wicked list of sites, Its great how word press can work most style of websites, seems that blogging and RSS is not the only thing word press can do!
