Rod,

what a coincidence! :)

I’m working on a WordPress plugin for real estate management right now. Too bad it won’t be open sourced for some time… :( But I’ll try to share as much information as possible about the process of making it. I’d be interested to hear about your way too.

wordpress is by far my favorite cms. actually right now i’m in the process of making a real estate site with wp and i’m using the same approach you talked about, using categories for different “classes” and a couple plugins to make it all display how i want it to.

and i must say i considered most of the other alternatives, but so far i haven’t found nothing that is as simple and flexible. either too bloated or too specific.

been using wp for years now and it seems i won’t be stoping anytime soon.

btw, great site. i’m so bokmarking this.

Not a problem, Leonid. We’ve spent a lot of time looking at the “big guns” of CMS — and because I liked WordPress, I tossed it into the mix. Just because I liked it, once it was committed to the tested, didn’t matter. It had to stand or fail on its own. It actually surprised me — when, at the end — it was still in the running. Early on, I thought it could do “most” of what was needed, but heck, even CNN, the US Postal Service, and many other sites are using WordPress as the backbone of their sites. That’s as much a statement as it is testimony to its usefulness and durability. If it couldn’t hold up to the rigors, it wouldn’t be used on any of those sites. Even Ford uses it on one of its highly-viewed sites.

Cool. I was interested in doing other stuff with wordpress instead of doing it manaully(like creating pages). I wasn’t sure before, but now I think I can.

This site rocks, by the way.

I wrote about this very thing awhile back. In fact, we’ve been testing several platforms — among them, WordPress — to find the “ideal” platform to use for a non-profit. WordPress, for the most part, stood its ground with a lot of help from plugins (some things that should already be in the core).
