    Hey everyone,

    Don’t know if this is the right place to post this but….I’m developing a website in PHP without using a framework. The gist of the website is that, you pay a yearly membership and you get certain benefits on the website like advertising your business or posting jobs.

    I read an article on WPTuts about using WordPress as a web framework and wanted to try it out. What would be the best way to convert this site into a WordPress site?
    Should a plugin be created for each feature of the website (like one for posting a job, viewing jobs and another one for businesses)?
    Is it even worth it to use WordPress for a site like this?

    You can use WordPress for a site like that. As you have already guesed, it’s just creating your own plugins and theme to do what you want it to.

    As a personal ting, I’d stick with a single plugin for this, or just build the functionality into a theme that I’ve designed. The reson for this is that it’s all inter-related, so you can’t really have one part without having the other parts. I’d only suggest different plugins for when the functionality won’t interact with another thing that you’re doing.
