Wordpress for commercial websites

[Bushgrass]

Wordpress is originally a CMS geared toward bloggers, but I notice that now there are many regular websites running on Wordpress, and they still look professional. Do you think it is possible to use Wordpress to build a commercial website, on which you sell products to and accept payments from your customers?
