 * 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.
