Is WordPress right for my use case?

    I need to build a website for our local club and I would to assess of WordPress is right for my use case. We need pages and blog and I know I can do this with WP easily. If I remember correctly, there’s also out of the box support for different use roles as handful of club members will have full access to cms but most of them should be able to write new posts but shouldn’t be able to edit existing pages, posts or settings. WordPress supports all of this out of the box, right?

    Second function of website will be simple tracking of people’s achievements. Club members do certain activities during the year and they would like to have a record of what they did. I’m talking about simple form with title, description etc. of activity, nothing fancy or automatic. Access to this part of website should be granted to people within certain role and recorded activities should be “public” but visible only to those people. I imagine this part of website would be on dashboard, below other menus but I’m open to suggestions.

    Is WordPress right decision or should I choose something else? Thank you!

    From your requirements, it seems like you could use Buddypress (WordPress) for your project.

    WordPress is an excellent solution for your club website. You can use basic roles out of the box, but I would use something like Buddypress to have more role administration to your site after you get the basic design underway. And if you need more advance features you can search for membership sites in the plug-in directory. I hope that helps.

    There are also other plug-ins to add achievements and keeps track of that information that you would have to search for, but it can be done.
