Wouldn't WordPress with a couple of plugins solve the content with a paywall problem in about 15 minutes?
I'm not asking that flippantly. And I know there are plenty of reasons not to use WP, so I apologize if this is a dumb question.
It just seems like WP might solve that particular problem for you without much work. And it solves other problems too, like managing users and tracking revision history for every piece of content.
I think Digital Ocean has a one click setup for WordPress. WP isn't my favorite software to work with as a developer, but I use it when it's the right took for the job because for the most part, I've been able to deploy it and forget about it because it has just kept chugging along and getting the job done without any intervention from me.
I use Wordpress for many clients because it's the simplest solution that also ensure they can find other developers to take over if I'm not there.
Wordpress is a dumpster fire and I hate it with a passion, though. Like, viscerally, almost as much as I dislike Drupal and Joomla. I'd use the term PTSD but that strikes me as insensitive.
But I still use it for many clients, because it's the simplest, easiest solution that other (and crucially, cheap!) developers can take over when I'm not there anymore.
