I'm just about to redesign a website, and have been considering using Wordpress as the CMS; largely due to Chris' enthusiasm and Videocasts.

The one thing which is causing me to pause is the fact that I am a complete Wordpress novice which has given me the two big questions . . .

Would I be able to easily install a custom built cart in a Wordpress based site?

How Search Engine friendly would a Wordpress based website and Shop be? Any tips on making the products SE friendly for example?

I see that there are some good out-of-the-box solutions out there for Wordpress, but would prefer to build my own for the client's specific needs. What problems and/or issues could I face using Wordpress to provide the bones of the site?

All tips greatly appreciated.

u can use this theme : http://www.thekingcart.com/2008/10/02/crafty-cart-free-wordpress-ecommerce-plugin-theme/

and wordpress site is also searchable like others . don't worry . some wordpress plugins can do something better.

try this : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/and u can find more plugins on : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

Thanks Jitendra. I'm not really after a theme though. Just asking if there are any issues that I might face with the way a Wordpress site is constructed (and structured) when it comes to adding a bespoke shopping cart facility? Are there any programming issues with Wordpress as opposed to adding the programming to a regular ('static') site?

Thanks again.
