[Nfb-web] Drupal versus WordPress

[Michael Hansen]

Tony,

I to have looked into CiviCRM for the Nebraska website. Specifically
for Convention Registration and Online Membership Record Keeping. When
I dug into it about 2 years ago it was fairly accessible but the
convention registration piece didn't yet meet out needs. (See bellow
for issue). I did keep a eye on it from then on though hoping that it
would meet our needs in the future. About a year ago though they
redesigned the interface to something that seemed to take a few steps
back in accessibility. I haven't installed a copy since then. What
have your findings been so far in the area of accessibility?


Convention Registration Issue we had: The system required each person
who registered online to have there own personal email address. We
found this to be a issue for some married couples that shared a email
address.
