General discussion

Hi,

I am currently running wordpress and my contractor website is currently about 500 pages. I was hoping to add a lot of functionalities like material calculators when doing a home improvement project.

I also want to use different templates depending on which category a post is in so garage door and roofing pages don't look the same. Right now, I can manage to do a lot of the stuff myself but I don't know how to code. Would drupal be too confusing to use for my contractor site? How fast does Drupal load compared to Wordpress?

Hello can Drupal do:

splash screen

How to create an organization and add it a membrership

We're developing a site in Drupal that will have a paid-access web application, and I'm wondering if the public-facing marketing/informational content and the paid-access part of the site should be built into one Drupal installation, or if the public-facing site should be built in its own Drupal installation and the application in another.

Drupal multisite is not an option because the hosting platform (Pantheon) doesn't support it.

I have 2 million nodes in shared banahosting but is very slow drupal

I have about 40 to 50 modules installed , I just drupal cache but do not want other cache modules for the moment, because I have no traffic.

I've seen some reviews that I need to split or install a module that functions as a master / slave database and mysql

But I hear more options to optimize my site that I will continue putting more nodes .

Which at the moment already has 2 million nodes

What can I do in these cases with little money ? .
