I would like to build an online registration website with database which can be exported to csv or excel. Can I do it with Wordpress? or should I build it from scratch. Thanks in advance

Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you're using it for courses, this may be more appropriate: http://www.woothemes.com/products/sensei/
You wouldn't use all the features, but it would help organize students and classes well.

Yes you can build it with WordPress, you can build anything with WordPress, it's just a CMS that has a lot of built in extra functionality. Depending on what you want to do with the data, what people are registering, it may be worth looking at building bespoke due to its simplicity, WP may be a bit heavyweight. With such little detail, it's hard to advise.

424 PointsHi Matthew, thank you for the respond. I would like people to register to the web and have their own account on the web. Let say just like here at Treehouse, we can register and then get our account. From this account they could add their personal information, etc. I actually want to make this for course online registration. So they will submit their personal information, chosen course, payment, etc. I hope you could understand my needs. Thank you ...

Should get you on your way but you'll need to be very experienced to make the site professional, secure and reliable.
