Ask HN: Building an “event” site / vertical social network

1 pointsby willart4foodover 6 years ago
I am an Artist first and then an Entrepreneur. I can do a lot of stuff on Wordpress and some on Drupal, but that&#x27;s just about it.<p>I have secured a good domain name for Art Openings and I want to put together a site where gallery owners and Museums could post their own events and openings. At first I might have to see it myself and I am OK with it.<p>Is there a WP theme that I can use? Premium is fine.<p>Or a plugin? Premium is fine.<p>Or Drupal?<p>Or . . a wiki?<p>Or maybe I could do a vertical social network using NING or Discourse?<p>Needs not to be perfect, just needs to validate MVP.<p>Thank you for any and all suggestions.

Anything but Drupal. A good start, if your not a developer, and don&#x27;t plan on building a custom solution from the ground up, start with: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theeventscalendar.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;theeventscalendar.com&#x2F;</a>
