Basically:
-
Potential client wants to upgrade his new member site and be able to update it via a web-based control panel. Timeliness is especially relevant and will need to be updated within 12 hours (this will be the client’s responsibility and he will make changes).
-
Separate page/folder for EACH member. Ideally, the potential for a new/different background and ability for other members to add comments.
-
Videos will be featured, with comments added below. They must be able to be edited or removed if need be. The ability to insert/upload pictures may also be added - planning on at least ONE per page.
Client brought up these sites as possible examples (though part of these sites are on separate systems (Legacy guestbook):
http://www.silva-hostetler.com/
REQUIREMENTS:
-
Client MUST BE ABLE to update listings at his convenience online.
-
Different color possibility/potential for EACH listing.
-
EACH member would have a personalized folder that would never expire. Something like…
http://mysite/johnsmith/
http://mysite/frankjones/
http://mysite/cindywojiechowski/
I am wondering if WordPress or another CMS would be applicable to this situation, so I am looking for possible recommendations.
Client also expressed concern about degrading coding (over time), causing the site, or parts of it, to no longer be functional. This is another reason I am looking at a CMS - in order to regularly update the entire code base with the latest fixes and security.
Thanks in advance for any expertise!
In friendship & success,
Erich
