- Is it really likely that we wouldn't be able to make a plugin look in a way that matches our website?
- Are there any other reasons, other than cost, why I should go with a plugin or with a custom-build?
Thank you.
Okay, my impression was that you could use WordPress or similar and just plug it in to your site. So you use all of their functionality, but it appears on yoursite.com, not wordpress.yoursite.com. My web guy just told me that no, all you can do is put a link on yoursite.com to your blog on wordpress.yoursite.com. That seems wrong, but he's the professional, so...?
edit: Just like an e-commerce site on shopify can be at dodocase.com, instead of shopify.dodocase.com. I don't see why blogging wouldn't be the same.
