   Hi,

   I want to use WP as a static CMS without any blogging features, just a home page, menu and static pages. I will need to be able to use plugins like payment gateways etc., but just don't want the site to be a blog in any way.

   Can anyone recommend a robust theme for this? Quite happy to pay for it.

   Thanks in advance!

   I took the Twenty Eleven theme and edited it and it worked just fine as a static CMS. But you need to know how to edit PHP and CSS. Or at least know how to google :) But it took me about 2 days to go from stock Twenty Eleven to static CMS.

   Good Luck!

   Thanks Andy!

   I just want something out of the box if it's possible. As I say, happy to pay for a commercial offering. I've no time or inclination to get 'under the hood' ;)

   Hi aZooZa,

   For finding themes, I like themesorter.com. Beware of themeforest, though, there's a lot of crap out there.

   As you look at themes to you, make sure you understand and consider the "lock-in" effect of themes. You are much better finding payment gateway PLUGIN and combining it with an attractive theme.
