Greetings!

I have built sites (for personal projects or for family members’ small businesses) using Weebly (RIP), Wix, and Google Sites. All ran well and did what they needed to do.

Now I’m volunteering for a small nonprofit organization, and they want me to re-do their website, currently hosted with Dreamhost. They are tired of having to email the webmaster for every small edit they need to do, plus waiting about a week to see each edit done (as you can imagine, this is not high in the priority list of the webmaster).

At first, I thought Google Sites was a no-brainer, because it will be easy for them, and free (with their Google for Nonprofit Workspace, they have a huge space in Drive to house all their PDF archives that are currently in Dreamhost…).

So, here’s the thing: they have decades (going back to the 1950s) of PDF magazines that they make available to their membership. Right now, they’re hosted in Dreamhost, and are links on the website. I’m tempted to try WP for this project, using Elementor and Document Library Pro for the archive… but the few tutorials I watched for WP and the latest posts I saw in this community all made me second guess this because of security concerns… What do you say?

TIA
