What WordPress is good for

There are generally three popular types of websites for which WordPress is meant to be used:

• A normal website with relatively static content, pages, subpages, and so on
• A blog website, chronologically organized and frequently updated, categorized, tagged, and archived
• An e-commerce website, a fully functional online store that allows people to buy goods or services, and the website owner to manage orders and fulfill them

However, as experience shows, these days WordPress is successfully used to run a wide variety of other sites as well, such as:

• Corporate business sites
• One-page profile sites
• Portfolio sites
• Membership sites
• Video blogs
• Photo blogs
• Product sites
• Education sites (e-courses) and more
