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.

Untypical? Or atypical?
Also powered by WordPress : http://taktika.qc.ca/

I have a blogger blog for 2.5 years, I wish I have thought about getting wordpress from the biginning….now it is so hard to switch…great sites!!!
Hey thanks very much for the add. WordPress totally rocks…looks like the cats out of the bag!! WordPress is more than just a blogging platform!

Great group of sites – thank you for (once again) finding great inspiration for us all. It’s always exciting to see what people are doing with WordPress. Personally, I love building sites with WordPress.I started building my own themes after reading a tutorial on this site (thank you Web Designer Wall!). I’m finding that one of the most important things to do when learning is to stop thinking of WordPress as a ‘blog’ — it’s so much more!
Can’t wait to see what you find for us next time. This is another great post – thank you!
Most of these sites still seem primarily content driven with a few ecommerce builds in there (your icondock is most impressive as showcasing the platform).
Most of these sites are beautiful and some extend wordpress but its hard for me to sell a client on morphing a blogging platform into an ecommerce suite in the face of something built for that purpose like magneto, etc.
For 3.0, wordpress needs to lower the barrier for entry into the CMS side of its platform. With wordpress’ superior UI, it could overtake drupal in the small-mid CMS category with the right tweaks. As it stands now, its a lot of ‘it-could-bes’ for your average developer. 3.0 should be interesting regardless…
great collection, thanks.
Hello!
Great collection.
thanks
Blooming marvelous! Love them. It’s official, WP isn’t JUST a blogging platform but a state-of-the-art, malleable and no-holds-barred CMS! Awesome sites. Much inspiration and boundary-pushing to be had for all…
Great bunch of cool, unique sites. My company, Digiwize, just released a photography website built with WordPress… http://alangrantphotography.net. It functions and looks like a flash site, but works with categories and posts to make it dynamic and easy-to-update for our client.
thanks very much
Those are absolutely amazing. I can’t believe they are wordpress at all!
This is one of my fauvorites web sites, is really interesting how some images or some good designs can open the door of your creativity, thanks from Spain, good job.
Once more, thanks for sharing…
