WordPress for non-technical users

    I am trying to understand the following elements of wordpress to decide whether it is the right tool for my clients:

    1. What is the *approximate* cost per add on?
    2. How effective is the document management core function and how does it look once implemented (example sites with this feature?)
    3. What does it mean that wordpress ‘integrates well with database’?
    4. Is there a good online procurement tool offered as an add-on
    5. customer relationship management tools – some good ones to integrate with WordPress. SugarCRM has been suggested. Other?
    6. how much technical support would a website with many sophisticated addons realistically require, deployed for a team of non-technical users.

    as much or as little as you can answer would be valuable, thank you!!

    Hi there. Looking at your questions I think you’re looking at the wrong version of WordPress. This is WordPress.com, the blogging platform. While it is possible to set up a “regular” website here, we have no ability to install plugins or integrate with outside databases.

    You need to be looking at the self-hosted version called WordPress.org. There you can install the add-ons/plugins you need and cost and technical support will depend on who is providing your hosting. You can see these links for more information: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    For more help on what’s possible and the best options on a self-hosted site, please post in the WordPress.org forums: http://wordpress.org/support/
