TrafficFolder is now offering a WordPress Setup and Configuring service here: How to Configure WordPress and Setup. It’s a low-cost, quick and efficient service designed to save you days of trying to figure it out for yourself.

TrafficFolder.com is the evidence of that it does, though Traffic Folder still has many blog characteristics, of course, such as posts and comments. If you want something that looks more like a traditional site (but why would you?) create ‘pages’ using WordPress rather than ‘posts’ and find a way to disable comments. Then you would have the advantages of easy page creation and ‘automatic’ linking WordPress confers but a ‘traditional’-looking website.

I cannot believe this will work!

Nothing is perfect, and WordPress has its idiosyncrasies too. But the advantages of using WordPress for a website outweigh the disadvantages, in my opinion.

You say you will never use dreamweaver again, but as wordpress (or other CMS’s) do a lot of the management for you isn’t it sometimes a nuisance if you want to go deeper than the supplied user interface?
