How to produce a CMS-driven website fast, for free.

April 25th, 2009 by sjb
  1. Install Wordpress on your own server.
  2. Install the supremely flexible, the incredible Atahualpa theme and fiddle with it until you have a good theme.
  3. Get reCAPTCHA keys.
  4. Install and configure the following Wordpress plugins: Akismet (spam), Contact Form 7, NextGen Gallery, Really Simple CAPTCHA, ShareThis, Theme My Login, WordPress.com statistics, Wordpress Database Backup, WP-DownloadManager, WP-reCAPTCHA, WP Hide Dashboard.

Six fast hours of work later: full featured CMS-driven site with a page structure in place, ready for anyone to add content.

Nearly free: you need a handy server and should make some donations.
