I had a similar situation. I was recently advising some whistleblowing academic researchers in India's leading management institute who were pulling the chain on massive plagiarism and sexual harassment etc. and needed a online platform
We considered Wix, rejected it as too bloated, non-SEO friendly and overly graphic oriented. It was a choice between a CMS like Wordpress and Drupal. Finally we opted for Drupal. The way we did it was like this. Got them a free "Openshift" account on Rhcloud. (Its cloud hosted on Amazonaws). Installed Drupal with a single click. They also have 1-click Wordpress, Joomla, Jenkins and all that stuff, Result. http://ernet-iima.rhcloud.com Then I booked (they are whistleblowers wanting to stay anonymopus) a domain for them and used CNAME etc redirects. Result http://iimahd-ernet.in/ Which essentially is a portal for the offending insititute's portal http://iimahd.ernet.in/ Drupal allows, multiuser blogs, multi-user multiple forums etc and great fluid/responsive themes which display well across desktops to tablets to moibile devices. (Drupal has a learning curve). Sarbajit On Fri, Nov 8, 2013 at 9:52 PM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net> wrote: > TL;DR: Anyone use Wix?
