My boss came to me asking me if I could create a website for his business. He just wants something simple that people can go to and read about the store and see what we carry and read a little about us.

He’d like to be able to go on easily and update it like a news area to list sales and a way to reach out to people reading the website.

He’s not very good with computers so going in and coding something to make a new news post is out of the question. I was thinking something like PHP-Nuke but I’m pretty sure that’s out of date.

What can I use? Is Word Press something that’ll work for this?

Yes wordpress can be used and will be one of the easier ones out there for him to edit

Is word press fairly easy to install and modify?

I know some PHP and I have messed around with os commerce and php-nuke a while ago.

yes very easy

Thanks for your time!

no problem, any other questions let me know

Wordpress is definitely what you want.. then just find a theme and tweak it to suit.. (there’s free ones there, or there’s a section linking to premium ones.. $20-50 for a kickass theme and just tweak it a bit)
