Reason being, I want my wordpress site to look less like a blog, more like a proper website.
Will the content be added constantly a lot ? If not, consider using Page for the content and keep Post for blog.
If you want to use Post for the so called static content for the most part, create a category called “blog” to use for only blog post.
Disable the so called post-on, post-in, post-by for all posts except posts in blog category. Most of the times, it could be disabled via CSS making use of post class and/or body class.

In addition to that, if site is still new, adjust permalink to not have any y/m/d in it.
Hi paulwpxp,
Yes, it’s a brand new site. How do I adjust the permalink to not have y/m/d on it? Where do I find the permalink switch?
Sorry, new to this.
Thanks,
Adam

The thing about permalinks is that you make a decision one time, set it up and never change it ever.
Still can’t find Permalinks in the settings. In Settings > General it gives me options for date and time format but not the option to disable it…
The last option is an input box, with a text Custom Structure, right ?
Check that box and put this into it
/%postname%/
Adamski007 – do you still need help with this? Is it possible this is a WordPress.com hosted site? That would explain why you don’t have the option to remove the date and time, since Permalinks can only be modified on a self-hosted WordPress install.

If you provide a link to your site I can tell you for sure. 🙂
