This is a generic question related with Wordpress / JQuery. I am new to Wordpress. I have done some basic web blog works on wordpress by configuring MySQL Database.

I am gradually moving to more complex development of Wordpress Application. We want to develop a web application which does more or less functionality like allthingsd or techcrunch.com. Also one another requirement is on scrolling down the page, we want the header menu should be static. I guess this could be achieved through Jquery.

My question is whether these applications are developed purely on Php / Mysql / Jquery and later deployed on Wordpress Platform Or Wordpress has the ability to develop any complex websites ?

You can use WordPress to build large user, driven sites and applications. The sites you refer here, is possible to build with WordPress, but if you like a more custom solution, you can try backpress (the wp engine). – Philip Jan 7 '12 at 6:08
Both of the sites you reference (TechCrunch and AllThingsD) are built on WordPress. They're WordPress VIP sites hosted by Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com). Asking about the history of those sites (if they were developed purely on PHP/MySql and then deployed on WP later) is beyond the scope of this site. – EAMann♦ Apr 6 '12 at 18:47

Everything is possible with WordPress,

you can take a look at:

and see what others have done with WordPress,

in the other side, you can use Backpress to build your custom application.
