That’s some really good and useful advice, much appreciated. I take your point, to do something properly is going to take time.
When the business gains some momentum I certainly want to invest in having great looking and functioning profiles.
Where I am right now I am looking for the simplest way to test the concept as I’m not sure if our business model is going to work or not. So for the MVP we want carers to create profiles, and for clients to be able to look through and contact who they want to with some degree of registration (or control) from our side. Stuff like payment gateways, and even filters can come later.
I will take your advice and post on the job board and see what happens.
Please could you tell me which websites you have developed, I would be very interested to see what can be done.
The essential requirement is for carers and clients to create different types of profiles then find and contact each other. I’m surprised it’s proving to be so difficult!
I have actually done quite a bit of homework on all the membership and user profile plugins and have written to various developers for the ones which seem like a close match but none of them quite cover it. I have read almost all of the reviews on Chris Lema’s blog but none of the membership plugins quite do it.
wpmudev might be a great option, thanks for that I’ll check it out.
Am very happy to mix and match various plugins, it’s just knowing which ones to go for in the first place. And am more than happy to pay someone who knows what they are doing to help.
