I need to have an advanced membership website developed, allowing 2 different types of users to login, create profiles and view customised dashboards - very similar to Clarity in terms of functionality in fact. Do you have any recommendations on whether WordPress or Ruby on Rails would offer the best solution? I know that WordPress is widely used and has great functionality but was informed by a developer that Ruby on Rails would provide a more advanced solution. I'm also seeking a developer - preferably this won't lead to a biased answer for the first part of my question - any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! (Functionality will be key for me.)
Ruby on Rails has some limited options for membership sites so it's likely you'll need custom development to get the solution you want. It's more likely that you'll find a WordPress plugin that covers your needs - including something like Paid Memberships Pro that is free but is super developer friendly.
Caveat: I advise on & build WordPress membership sites so I admit that I may be a little biased :)
