Key Elements May Differ Across Some Types of Websites

There are several kinds of non-blog websites that WordPress is also useful for building. One of these is the one-page website. This is a website that is characterized by only consisting of a single page. For the WordPress admin console, this means working with the Page functionality as opposed to writing posts. In this case, the site just has a single Home page. It is also important to choose an appropriate theme. It should include features such as a minimal design to feature branding and high-quality images, a responsive layout, cross-browser support, and custom header functionality.

Another is the corporate or business website. This is also a mostly static website that features more pages than a single-page site. Some important features to include are an intuitive menu for navigation, a custom home page for branding and logos, a business-friendly theme, and possibly a slider plugin to preview different features.

A third is the e-commerce website. This is a business site that includes some kind of e-commerce functionality where users can actually shop and purchase items directly from the site. For this kind of site, it is important to have fully functional e-commerce plugin that allows for the setup of a storefront, product search, a shopping cart, some sort of payment feature (like PayPal), as well as order tracking and reporting features. It is also important to choose a theme specifically designed for an online store.

Finally, there is also the photo website. This type of site features primarily photos (such as from a photography studio). Some features that are useful are high quality images that can be viewed at different resolutions, a slider feature on the home page, and social media integration. It is also important to choose a theme that is more friendly for showcasing images.
