I have to put an extranet on the Wordpress CMS for a non-IT professional. He told me he wants a community intranet for his clients.
I researched on the web and found three templates which can meet his needs: Thrive, Woffice and Alliance.
But I don't really know how I can choose between them. It seems they can make same things and I need help to take my decision.
How can I find the advantages and drawbacks of them?
Good work!
Ultimately, you cannot know for sure without embarking on the implementation, so it is a case of reducing the risk. If it becomes clear the selection you've made isn't working, you can switch to an alternative with relatively little disruption.
I suggest you take the role of advisor and work with your client to decide. Summarise your findings, prepare a presentation in which you demonstrate each template (even if just the demo mode on the theme site) and listen to their feedback.
If you are looking for people with direct experience of implementing Wordpress intranets who may have been through the same process, try some of the intranet groups on LinkedIn.
