Title: 878studios.com, WordPress setup. Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # 878studios.com, WordPress setup. * [Shelby DeNike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdenike/) * (@sdenike) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/) * I am trying to startup my hosting/design studio. As a long time WordPress user I decided that would be the best way to get it setup. Not only for the easy use but also for what it can do. Check it out at [http://878studios.com](http://878studios.com)… its a pretty simple setup, but all in all I think that it gets everything across, and is easy to manage from the backend of things. And if you want to know a little about 878 Studios, I have been hosting friends sites and local area bands for sometime now. I just recently decided that I should take it to a new level and try to make something more of it. Check it out, and I hope to maybe see some of you guys come my way.

I am using a static frontpage plugin. And instead of posts I am using Pages for the whole site. Just because it is running WordPress doesn’t mean that it has to be a “blog” * [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * (@hbalagh) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370298) * ” Just because it is running WordPress doesn’t mean that it has to be a “blog”” * I was thinking the same thing 🙂 * Thread Starter [Shelby DeNike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdenike/) * (@sdenike) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370303) * Hehe.. Yeah I have started to use WordPress for a lot of internal and external sites. Its a great content management system. And well especially since WordPress 2.0 and the RTE it makes it easy for ANYONE to make a formated post/page that looks like they actually know HTML… And the theme system is just perfect for about any application. * [camcarpenter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/camcarpenter/) * (@camcarpenter) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370500) * Hey! Just a few questions as I want to do something similar to this. * How did you get rid of the blog and just use the pages feature or if that didnt make any sense how did you do it 😛 * Cam 🙂 * Thread Starter [Shelby DeNike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdenike/) * (@sdenike) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370551) * There is a plugin for it. “Static Front Page Plugin”. Or grab a new nightly copy of the new wordpress as that feature seems to be built into it now 🙂 * [mrtunes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrtunes/) * (@mrtunes) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370554) * is 878studios.com built on any specific theme?

And yeah the new nightly that I downloaded like a few weeks ago had static frontpage built in, about time if you ask me. * [ladydelaluna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ladydelaluna/) * (@ladydelaluna) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370576) * “Where exactly is the WordPress part of this site? I don’t see anything that is even close to being blog like.” * Wow – for having been a member of these forums for almost a year, you’d think someone would know about the expansiveness of WP as a CMS and not “just a blog”… * Anyway – great job with the site! I’m doing this type of thing as well at [http://www.anubismarketing.com](http://www.anubismarketing.com) but I didn’t use the plugin – I just saved `index.php` as `home.php` and replaced what was in the content div with what I wanted… 🙂 * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370577) * Yeah, you can do pretty amazing things with WP. One of my “favourites” is [http://www.shakespeare-oxford.com/](http://www.shakespeare-oxford.com/) * Oops, but let’s not hijack the OP’s topic. The site looks nice, the only thing that I didn’t find attractive are the very short Pages where the footer comes up in the middle of the screen. * [ladydelaluna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ladydelaluna/) * (@ladydelaluna) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370578) * Sorry – wasn’t trying to hijack, just show examples… 🙂 I do love the example you gave to! I wish I knew of more to share as well. 🙂 * Thread Starter [Shelby DeNike](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdenike/) * (@sdenike) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/878studioscom-wordpress-setup/#post-370582) * Yeah I really need to finish it up so its a little more uniform with the footer… Just been so busy.
