I have finally managed to set-up the website for my new business Bright White Space.
Due to not having a lot of time to spend on the site I have kept it simple for now, but I plan to expand and add features and articles in the future.
Currently the site is plane ol’ HTML and CSS with a little Flash enhancement on the menu (with a HTML version for none Flash), progressive enhancement is the name of the game. I will be adding a client area and CMS to manage the articles and grow the site in the future.

In conclusion, I have been very impressed with Wordpress and recommend it to anyone who wants a simple CMS, even if you don’t use the blog.
