Redo Business Portal Using WordPress
-
Hi
My name is Issa Maluf and I work in a European Union project called RYE Connect. We have a Business Portal in the project with many tools that we use with our young entrepreneurs. We’re currently having a lot of trouble with the platform and the developers and we feel that it’d be better if we’d take the development of the site into our own hands. For that, WordPress seems to be one of our best options. We would like to take everything that we have in our Business Portal and redo it on WordPress. So, could you help me figure out if that could be done?
Here is a list of things that we have in the Portal and we’d like to know if they can be done with WordPress:
– A user database (with over 2000 people) where users could register and create a business profile. Here the Admin should also be able to add and remove users at will. We have three different types of users: regular entrepreneurs, investors and partner. Each with a different view and options on the platform. For instance, the investors stay mainly restricted to our Pitch Portal, where our entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas when they’re looking for financing.
– We have four modules for business development. In these modules, we have Business Validation Audits (which are a sort of quiz to evaluate their level of entrepreneurship giving them at the end an assessment result of their skill); we have a business planning too, the business plan tool contains 12 different pages with a variety of questions and some of the pages contain mathematical calculations on costs, budget, financing, investment and collateral (for that we use an Excel sheet in the code that does the calculations. Is it possible to have this level of calculations on a WordPress website? At the end of the process of the Business Planning creation, the user should be able to have a printable version of the plan.
– We also have a gamified business plan tool. It’s a business planning game developed using Unity WebGL. Would it be possible to integrate a game made with Unity into a WordPress website?
– A PitchPortal, as I mentioned at the beginning. The Pitch Portal is the place where our entrepreneurs upload their video pitch when they’re trying to sell their idea to our investor network. Here each user should be able to upload their own video and the investors on the other end should have access to the videos and have the freedom to comment or export the videos. Also, the other users should be able to comment on the videos (if the owner of the video chooses to make the video public). Is that doable with WordPress?

You may be interested in going there and having a good look to see for yourself what I mean.I hope what I wrote was clear enough. Anyhow, we can stay in touch through here and I can go on clarifying about all the things we need.
Looking forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
Issa

This is a backdated thread and I do not know if you have been answered previously or not.
You cannot create a network ie. a wordpress.ORG multi site at wordpress.COM. Please read this https://wordpress.org/search/multisite
Here at wordpress.COM the closest you can come to that is to build a Membership website: https://en.support.wordpress.com/tutorials/build-a-membership-website-tutorial/
If you wish to make some people official users of your WordPress.COM site with limited user roles read on.
What I post below applies only to sites hosted by wordpress.COM.
You cannot password protect a whole wordpress.COM site. You can password protect posts and/ or pages on a site.
You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. Contributors cannot upload images. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings. If you select option 1 then the blog will be a public one, available to all with internet access to read.
If you wish to add official users see these support docs:

https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-viewers-to-a-private-siteThere’s always an exception of course, and in this case it requires upgrading the site to a WordPress.COM Business plan so you can install the required plugins.
Blogger installed plugins and third party or custom themes cannot be used on WordPress.COM hosted sites unless you have a Business Plan. We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all wordpress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/
