uk-netmarketing Archive (2011-2015)

Hello John, Angus and everyone who has very kindly contributed to the
conversation regarding the Community Website Platform that I enquired about
last week. 

I very much appreciate all the words of wisdom, creative thinking and even
mentoring that you have all provided.

A huge, huge thank you :-)

Suzy

I have no experience of developing a community site from scratch and so am
not in a position to suggest a platform for you.

Perhaps I have a jaded view, but I have a number of clients who regret ever
committing to the .net platform. Not only are it's benefits exaggerated but
it costs a lot more to operate and run (OK - perhaps 200% is over the top,
but just call it 'considerably more').

Furthermore (for all those budding entrepreneurs out there) there is a
further issue... if you create a great community site and find it is of
considerable value and would like to sell it... if you are on a customised
and licensed platform you almost certainly will find buyers more wary and
offering less for your site / community. Because you don't really 'own' it
fully.

So, food for thought...

Cheers


John
