[Bradford] Degrees of integration?

[Paul Colley]

Hi John and thanks.
It sounds as if you know at least something of the 'few features' that are not available in a Civi-WP setup? If you have a moment, are you able to say anything more?
Your comment as to MailChimp sounds pretty final. Is this in spite of the couple of Mailchimp integration extensions that seem to have been developed? I appreciate that not all extensions are created equal.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul

You can put CiviCRM on top of WordPress (or Joomla! or Drupal) but there are a 
few features not available in WordPress. Unless you have very specific needs, 
these are unlikely to make any difference.

CiviCRM comes with its own CiviMail module which gives you MailChimp like 
functionality. You cannot link it to MailChimp.

There is a north of England CiviCRM meetup which meets from time to time so, 
depending on your timescale, you could come to one of their meetings or I 
could talk the issues through with you.
