There are people who consider blog as a blog and some think it as a website with categories, achieves listed on side. But just like you cannot use a bike engine to run a car (well it may be but it will be a bad idea), similarly a blog is a blog. What I mean to say that if you need a company website for official use, make it a proper website with the html, PHP or whatever language you want to use in it and not simply install wordpress and use a free template to save time. You will say, why not do that when it’s simpler, look nice and saves money. You never know how many people are going to get a bad image about your company. There are two kinds of people, one who know what a blog is and others who are completely unaware. So people who know blog will at once sat, “oh this guy is so lazy and cheap that he installed blog and showing it as a website” and other who don’t know must have seen many blogs and they must have an image that this is something easy (maybe they know its free) as everyone is having it. So overall, it’s better to have a true website when there is a need of website and not a blog. At this point you will say that you can find some template or customize it to look just like any other website! But if you are doing so much, what’s wrong is making a normal CSS design? You will have better control over its layout and it will be lighter on system too. it doesn’t take long to XHTML a template psd. Having a /blog with a proper website is a plus point and I always favor that. Its good SEO wise too.
