I need to make a bunch of sites for small businesses in the same industry that all have the same basic needs.
I can code (pretty awful at it but technically true haha) but for a few reasons I want to use a no code builder on WordPress combined with plugins to get the features I need.
Here is the stack I am planning to use:
No Code Builder – GeneratePress
Hosting – Nixihost
WordPress Management – MainWP
Payments/Subscriptions – Paid Memberships Pro
Booking – Amelia
Forums – wpForo
Backup – WPVivid
Security – WordFence
SEO – The SEO Framework
What are your thoughts on this combo?
Have you had nightmare experiences with any of these? Absolutely love them?
My biggest concern is that all the components work well together and that setting them up and integrating them is not overly complicated. Beyond that, cost is a factor so I would prefer LTD options and such if available.
Also can you see any big gaps in my needs that would require other plugins? I have worked on WP sites before but this is my first go at setting up the structure for one.
I am at the phase where I need to commit to a stack soon. I am hoping y’all can help me avoid unnecessary headaches.
Edited for formatting
The stack sounds fine in principle, however, due to the importance, and size of the plugins, you’ll want to make sure that you have a staging environment to test plugin updates on.
A simple update in a plugin can cause havoc with the rest of your website. Make sure to keep on top of minor updates, too
PMPro is also a subscription plugin. Why duplicate that?
Also, PMPro integrates well with BBPress. Maybe a better alternative to Amelia.
But it all depends.
Everything looks good
How many plugins are you using? That’s a website that basically wants to do everything? At once? All the time?
Good luck mate. Not backing you up.
