Suitability for a public website

[Curious808]

This is a "is nuBuilder a good choice for?" question from a non-coder who is still comfortable and familiar with code (eg: PHP, JS, frameworks like Laravel).

The project is a web site that allows posting and tracking of local community projects. Visitors can browse introductory pages and summary lists. The main application is for registered, logged in users, who can initiate, update and track individual projects that involve multiple users.

• lots of forms and reports

• easy authentication, registration, user management

• lots of role- and attribute-based access (users can only access things related to them)

• relatively easy public frontend building

I'm fine with hand coding display pages and using CSS for styling forms and reports. And the site design is clean and minimal, focused on easy navigation and overall usability.

Hope that is a clear enough description. Does nuBuilder seem like a good fit for someone who wants to spend their time on developing and tweaking the database: user input, data display, permissions. Laravel is just way too much. CodeIgniter about the same. Joomla, WordPress, etc are too rigid, seem like too much stuff and too much workaround to work directly with the db. So, maybe, somewhere between a CMS and a framework?

Hi Curious808,

If each person using the system is going to have their own login details.

Then nuBuilder is a good choice. (right in the sweet spot between a CMS and a framework)
