Hello There! I’m finally back in action after the exams and Holidays with a whole new design. As you know, the WordPress is a semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. But some websites use this great blogging platform as a CMS. With its flexibility and power, WordPress can be customized into a full fledged CMS, and many people are already doing just that. Here you will find a collection with themes aimed for use as CMS. It comes with 13 completely FREE and unique professional Magazine Style/CMS themes.
