Hello fastlaners,
After finally stumbling on an idea that fits well with the CENTS commandments, I'm stuck on choosing the proper avenue to begin building the site. Basically, I'm aiming to start a membership website in which members are able to submit reviews on specific events within the chosen niche. I've done some digging on my competition, and discovered that the top player seems to be using Ruby on Rails for their site, while the other is using Wordpress with plugins. The ROR site is beautiful. Much cleaner than the other with some really nice features.
As someone who has limited site building experience, Ruby on Rails appears to have a much steeper learning curve, but the result could be a cleaner, more sellable site in the future. However, Wordpress should still be a fine starting point. After researching, I'm unsure what would be the best Wordpress membership plugin choice is that will allow users to submit reviews. Also note, I'd only like for members to be able to submit reviews. Any specific plugin advice? I'm not afraid to spend on better plugins.
Hopefully this is clear enough, and you fine folks can offer me some direction. Thanks a bunch!
