    Yes, but it can be easily extended into a complete CMS through its support for pages ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#WordPress_as_a_CMS http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#WordPress_as_a_CMS ) and custom forms ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cforms/ http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cforms/ ).
