 * I know WordPress is designed to be a blogging platform, blah, blah! But any CMS
   worth it’s salt needs to have flexibility at it’s core.
 * Whilst WordPress is pretty flexible, it comes into it’s own when paired with 
   Advanced Custom Fields. There are so many options to use this plugin to really
   squeeze every last drop of customisability out of WordPress templating and also
   build a backend worth using.
 * I highly rate this plugin and, to be perfectly honest, if it didn’t exist, i 
   would probably have moved on from using WordPress by now.
 * Great plugin, Great plugin author. Enough said.
