Website With Two Types of Members? (Kinda long)
For the sake of this example, let's call the different types of members A and B.
Member / Visitor A = Writers looking for writing gigs
Member / Visitor B = Clients looking for writers
This would be the basic layout of the site:
Splash Page
Are you...
- A?
- B?
Member / Visitor A Section Home:
- Blog
- Writing Job Leads
- Forum
- Post a Writer Bio
- Browse Job Board
Member / Visitor B Section Home:
- Blog
- Post a Writing Job on Job Board
- Browse Writer Bios
The two bolded parts would be where the memberships A and B would need to intertwine...if that makes sense. I need writers (Members A) to be able to post a bio and browse the Job Board; I need clients (Members B) to be able to post a job on the job board and browse the writer bios - from their respective website sections and preferably without seeing the other side's "post" and "browse" sections. For instance, I'd prefer writers didn't the "Post a Job" page and Clients didn't see the "Post a Writer Bio" page.
Everyone I know has told me to go with Wordpress, so I finally broke down and tried it. I've tried WP and WP Multisite, and I can't seem to get the membership types to stay on separate parts of the website where they're supposed to and intertwine where they're supposed to. I had to build a whole separate section with a "Job Portal", which I don't wanna do.
Am I missing something in WP? Or is there a better alternative to WordPress for this type of website??? Something like Drupal, Joomla, Text Pattern, Life Types, b2evolution? These are a few of the ones I know of and that are available for install on my Host Gator cPanel. If it's the right one, I would also consider uploading / installing it manually, if necessary.
I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to building websites, but I'm not an expert either. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
