I need to develop a single-page site for a client. I normally use WP as a CMS for small business websites. This client would like to be able to update content. And I like using plugins such as Contact Form 7. Would WP be overkill for a single-page site, though?
Is WP overkill for a single-page site? (9 posts)

What are you more comfortable with? I use WP for everything, so I would lean that way

Posted 1 year ago #Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I love using WP and am very comfortable with it. I guess it doesn't matter!

Do you have Dreamweaver? If it´s just one page you could throw together a simple html-document pretty quickly.

It could depend on just how complicated your single page is!

Posted 1 year ago #@Loke I can hand-code HTML/CSS very competently, I don't like to use Dreamweaver. I could easily create a one-page site. However, my client would be able to update easily with WP and I prefer not to create my own PHP contact form. Unless someone can point to a great form solution. I like the contact form plugins for WP.

Posted 1 year ago #I'm definitely with you that WP may be the way to go, especially for a client. Keep things nice and simple.
Plus, 9 times out of ten, a 1 page website tends to grow in scope as a client changes their mind.... WP makes it easy to expand eh?

Posted 1 year ago #Yes- it would depend on how complicated your one-page is but it sounds like it wouldn't be too complicated. I tend to use WP for everything as well.
On the other hand, I used cushy cms for a client that wanted to be able to edit her site but didn't want to move her existing site to Worpress. There are probably other like this service.
