Thanks for the warm welcome! Also, thanks for your comments CLSOURCE and SZABESZ. With regards to the case study, that was one of the reasons that I investigated PW further, particularly the comparison table towards the end of the case study - thanks for this. SZABESZ, thanks for letting me know about the coding side; I'll have more of a look into what is required. I guess over the 6 years or so with WP, I did some basic CSS, html, so it does not faze me to get into the coding side a little. But I'll confess I don't know much! But happy to learn. So, I might go back to the case study (CLSOURCE) and focus a bit more on what is required for the programming side - thanks again.

I have using Wordpress for the past few years, and stumbled on ProcessWire. I was after views anyone may have on the suitability PW for my project, which is: - currently I have about 150 paid subscribers who have access to underlying content - around 600 pages - use vertical fly out menu (but am OK with the PW website vertical menu) - blog with an additional 1000 pages (I send a regular newsletter) - am interested in having relationships between data (i.e., similar to the demo on skyscrapers - city, when built etc). - I currently use google custom search but would like to move to Algolia. I don't like all the plugins with Wordpress (e.g., here one day gone the next) and find it quite slow compared to PW and similar. Hence, I am looking for a faster load times and a pure CMS. I'm not a programmer or designer, but prefer to look after the IT side myself, and have done so with WP for the last 6 years. I don't necessarily need a 'pretty site'' - more interested in the functionality. In an ideal world, I would like users to be able to preset certain preferences around which content they are interested in. I have been in and had a read on other options: Kirby, Grav, Simple CMS, SilverStripe etc etc. But PW seems to be the most suited due to the simplicity and flexibility with fields. I have loaded up PW onto MAMP and had a bit of a play to see how it all works. I would appreciate any comments to assess the suitability of PW. Thanks for reading!
