Is WordPress a good option for this project? (2 posts)

    Hi all --

    Our local county bar association wants to update its web site. We envision a site with several main pages:

    -- Membership information
    -- News/events
    -- Judiciary
    -- Membership directory

    The membership directory would, in theory, be viewable by selecting a letter for the last name of the attorney, or by practice area (e.g. someone could click on "divorce" and get a list of people who practice in that area).

    I think we might be able to use WordPress with a theme like Thesis or Headway to accomplish this task (and thus not have to pay a consultant to do it).

    We would have to update membership data as people move offices etc. or change phone numbers, and the news/events update would be easy in WP. Does anyone see a problem with WordPress doing this? I'm thinking we could use tags for the practice areas, but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Hi

    I would say that wp is really good for News/events and having a judiciary page would work good I guess.

    When it comes to membership directory. You could make the letters as categories. There each letter is a category.
    To make a membership information page I think you will need to do some customization and/or use plugins. => http://wordpress.org/support/topic/217141?replies=11

    I wouldn't say it would be a wrong idea to use tags for practice areas.
