I have a static HTML website that sells subscriptions. The website currently accepts payments via PayPal buttons. The buttons are configured to offer subscriptions for different durations, i.e., 1 month, 3 months etc. The PayPal button themselves can accept payments in U. S. dollar and non U. S. dollar currencies.
I am looking to migrate this website into Drupal. I would like to keep the payment process as simple as possible, i.e., fewest number of clicks to complete the payment and return to my website.
I have been running a version of drupal for a few years now and kept it upgrading until 6.20 and then stopped, it's not a public site or commercial, just a personal site on my laptop that I use, but I today noticed drupal is now on version 8, can you please tell me if I can export the drupal database from my version 6.20, create a new installation of drupal 8 and then import the database, or do I need to upgrade it at peacemeal from version to version?
I want to create a one-page website, with very little text (can be done using mostly cut up images) and a form + button. Here's an example of the designed layout (with some parts excluded for privacy):
I've been trying to get along with Drupal since Saturday. The case is, I've made a ready-to-use Twitter Bootstrap 2.1.0 template and need 2 things to be dynamic: Projects and Blog Posts.
As stated in the topic title, it is for a small one-man homepage, a personal site where I show off my projects (programming and RL modding) and maintain a small personal blog. After finishing the template I saw that what I planned was pretty advanced for such a simple thing (automatically cross-referencing a single item (a Project for example) to both the homepage and the Project Overview page) and thought about using Drupal. After fiddling with it and the Docs for almost a week now, without any huge results as I'm still not done with all the Docs, I start to think that Drupal might be a bit overkill for what I've planned and that a simple self-coded solution (I guess it would take me less than a week to code a sleek, fit solution to easily add Blog Posts and Projects) might be better suited.
