| I would always go for wordpress because of the many plugins and "tuning" applications, that are available. Think of WP3D and so many others. | ||

| HiWP3D is a cool plugin for Matterport and most other 360 content. Dan Smigrod used to call it a content management system. I am managing my portfolio website with WP3D. | ||

| I do everything in Wordpress, have built thousands of sites over the years (affiliate stuff mostly but many blog and info type sites also) It’s super flexible and stable. Wiz and square space are very accessible and you are up and running in no time but they are limited in functionality. Against that, you can’t let a wordpress site lie without updates or it will get hacked eventually. Wordpress is a bit more work but worth it. Check out a theme called enfold. It is a paid theme but you can do anything with it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by @thereal360 WP3D Models WordPress Plugin works with any 3D/360 virtual tour platform that uses iFrame. For clarification, when you create a Single Property Website with WP3D Models WordPress Plugin, you can set the Model Base type to: 1. Matterport 2. ThreeSixty Tours 3. Video 4. Generic iFrame 5. Static Image For example, instead of Matterport, you could include: 1. Asteroom 2. Cupix 3. EyeSpy360 4. iGuide 5. Metareal Stage 6. Nodalview Here is an example of a WP3D Models created: 1. Gallery 2.

| Good morning all. Thanks for the feedback and time you take! So if I understand correctly... - Wordpress.org is the "platform" for the company website (free?) - Wordpress needs to be hosted (Have hard drive space on a server?)like Bluehost, Dreamhost or IONBLADE (like $8, to start per month)...? - I make my Tours / 360 videos with kuula ($16 p.m.) / panoskin ($20 p.m.) / 3dvista... ($400 once) - I would use a link for Kuula and panoskin, since they host them... (correct?) - I Could Selfhost 3dvista (or 3dvista hosts $99p.a.) I assume also with the same hosting provider Like Bluehost / Ionblade... - I would use WP3D Plugin ($200) to "SHOW" / "LINK" my virtual tours to show up correctly on Wordpress? This is mostly for MY advertising, not for clients to use? OR BOTH? I assume different clients have different needs. Like Realtors will need MLS / Zillow integration, while businesses need GSV integration. Please forgive the newbie questions... Just trying to understand how it all works together. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR TIME! Alex |

Quote:Originally Posted by thereal360 ✓ WP3D Models WordPress usage requirements It's likely that you will be way happier with WordPress via Ionblade. I would get the $15.95/per month WordPress Hosting Pro plan ($15.95/month) that includes SSL. (WGAN Standard and Premium Members get the free use of WordPress Hosting Pro plan powered by Ionblade). The most important decision is which virtual tour platform is right for you. Then, all other decisions follow. ✓ free course!

WGAN-TV: Panoskin to Google Street View Demo and Discuss for Newbies (WGAN Standard and Premium Members receive the free use of Panoskin Pro.) ---- Since you are just starting out, I would suggest going slower to go faster.
