For those of you using WordPress as a CMS or TMS (as opposed to just a blog), whether it’s designed by us or not, you’re squeezing the juice out of this great system. However, you’re nowhere close to be using it at full potential. In example, take a look at this tutorial about using WordPress as a Marketing Tool.

First of all, let’s not turn all philosophic about it, since one could argue that any site could be used as a Marketing tool no matter how it looks. Which is true, of course. What I mean is to turn your existing WordPress CMS in a distribution center for dynamic marketing tools. Now it sounds more interesting, huh?

So, the whole tutorial is extremely easy and although some PHP knowledge could come handy, it is not necessary at all. Let’s create an adult gallery with dynamically updated content using your existing WordPress database. Just follow the instructions below:

1. Create a folder in your server, with any name you want, ie marketing. It could be inside your WordPress folder installation or totally outside (ie if your WP installation is in its own folder)
2. Now, let’s create our gallery. You could use a gallery you already have to promote your site, we’ll do just some editing on it
3. Open your gallery with a text editor (such as Notepad or Notepad++) or use the edit source option of your web page builder program (Dreamweaver, NotObjects, CoffeeCup, etc)
4. At the very top of your page, place the following code:
   
   <?PHP require_once('yourthemefolder/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
   
5. Want an example? Check our main page: we added the code at the top, and then at the bottom simply added
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
   and that’s it, our footer (which includes a widgetized sidebar code) updates every time we add more content!
6. And basically that’s it. Now you can include whatever part of your WP theme you want to include. In example, an obvious easy one would be to include your header and/or footer, but you can call the latest updates, show them as thumbnails (or text), you can show the new WP 2.9 post thumbnails, you can show a ranking of posts, or if you’re using model names, a ranking of models, you can show comments…. your imagination is the limit!
7. Before I finish, I’m sure you’ll be able to think some nice SEO uses for this technique!

As you may see, as everything WordPress, this is easy, fast and bullet-proof. In a future tutorial I’ll teach you how to create GeoIP banners on the fly using this technique (plus other neat tricks, of course). This is just one of many reasons why WordPress CMS is taking the world by storm and is the smartest choice for webmasters

A site I really feel proud of. This one took a lot of work since we did not only the design, but a CMS. Well, in fact we could call it a TMS since it only manages the tour (they already had a CMS in place for the members area). This 100% custom CMS based on WordPress included a lot of special features and custom JQuery scripting to make it work. On top of that, it had to be mixed within a NATS context. Dynamic features, load “on the fly”, rotating content, custom admin area, you name it…. this site HAS IT ALL! And the look isn’t too shabby, huh?

Well, this is the kind of stuff we do right now, ultra advanced, sophisticated and, as usual, without losing the main goal: it has to convert no matter how beautiful it looks.

This site was made for Pure Teen Cash, and I’d recommend you to promote it like… RIGHT NOW! Of course, if you wanna stick to 1:5000 conversions then don’t pay me any attention, this could hurt your heart

We build high end custom CMS (Content Management System) scripts based on WordPress engine for use in paysites, stores or whatever your imagination could think of. This site itself runs on a very complex CMS built in upgradeable modules. These custom CMS scritps make use of the latest advances in design technology, are XHTML valid and extremely easy to use. On top of that, we use semantic CSS and SEO enhancements, so your site will get traffic even if you don’t send a single hit!

Prices include design, please contact us for a quote if you need only script development or if you have a tour that you want to manage with a featureful and easy to use CMS/TMS (Tour Management System)

We designed the site and added a custom CMS to manage it. As usual, we built it using the WP core with some custom scripts to handle different features of the sites. Nice looking, vibrant, happy. And easy to manage…. what else could you ask for?
