Non-blogging template

Post by scottie »

I was looking through all the templates and they all seem to be blog oriented.
I am trying to put together a website for my carpenter/roofing business and have a hosting account with godaddy, hence how I found out about serendipity. I thought it might be quite a bit quicker to just use one of the templates rather than writing some code or buying a css template.

The site needs just a few navigation links(eg. roofing, construction, finished basements, siding, pictures, about us). Can I get away with this by using static pages? I hope that I have explained this well enough. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi

I've got a few examples of how I've used Serendipity for commercial websites on my themes site and I think Carl Galloway has a business template on his site. I'm not sure if the download link for that template works but if you take a look and think it's what you want I can send you copy.

I do not know if s9y is the best solution to your wishes, but of course it is a solution! static pages should be the right way for you! And "static page as frontpage-plugin"!

You can have a look at http://www.sankt-joseph-siemensstadt.de - most pages are static pages, the navigation on the right is no category navigation, it is the static pages navigation. And - so I hope - the site looks more than a normal website than like a blog.
Ciao, Stephan
