The Best WordPress Plugins
This area will soon be a central repository of tons of the plugins we use every day. You’ll be able to search for a solution to a specific problem, see what other though of the plugins, and link directly to download or purchase them. Until we get this area developed more, here are a couple of our all-time favorite plugins…

Gravity FormsFinally, someone did a forms plugin right! It’s super-simple to create forms on your site, such as a “Contact Us” form. It’s also quite powerful, particularly in that users can be redirected to a separate “thank you” page after submitting, making goal tracking possible – an absolute must. It’s a no-brainer on every site I’ve built since discovering it – including this one. |

ShoppThis is the first really well built shopping cart that we ever found, and we’ve stuck with it. It gives you a lot of the base features you would expect from an e-commerce plugin including product management, payment processing, and shipping calculation. |

WishList MemberMembership sites are simple with this full-featured plugin. We use it ourselves on the WordPress WebKit site. |

Exclude PagesI use this plugin on nearly every website I build in WordPress. It gives you more control over your top/side navigation by allowing you to choose to exclude certain pages. This is very helpful for special offers, “thank you” pages, that you don’t want showing up in the navigation. |
