Customizing WordPress With Plugins & Widgets
My friend Chris Garrett recently did something with WordPress that still amazes me. He took a basic installation of WordPress, had a plugin built, and effectively created a shopping site where the user is able to choose the options they want in a credit card.
Now, I’m not one to be easily impressed, but Chris asked me to try out the site (CreditCardMatcher.com) and I’m thoroughly impressed. This does not feel like a WordPress site. It doesn’t feel like a blog. It feels like a full featured, high-production shopping site. There isn’t any compromise in features either. It’s smooth, polished and well done.
Chris then asked me to take a look at the backend of his site. The technology is elegant and super easy to use. Again, I’m just amazed that this is a WordPress site.
