There is a common misconception out there that WordPress can only be used for blogginig. Nothing could be further from the truth! The popular content management system can be used to power all kinds of websites, whether they be freelance writer sites or even e-commerce sites complete with shopping cart integration.

If the latter is what you want to have, the new Sanaa Theme might be up your alley. The theme is designed to provide a “retro look” so that you can sell a range of t-shirts, arts, crafts, and other handmade items. The online shop can easily be adapted to sell other products as well.

As you can see from the live demo, Sanaa Theme features a two-column layout with a widget-ready sidebar. It supports drop-down menus and WordPress 3.0 custom menus. To get Sanaa Theme to work, however, you need to install DukaPress on top of WordPress for your website. DukaPress is an e-commerce platform.

For more information on Sanaa, including the free download link, take a look at Dukapress.com. You’ll be selling your homemade trinkets and handicrafts in no time!
