while cleaning up my old functions; I found my krui function. Still works!

Looking into setting up a new cms sort of website for a local org. Nationbuilder comes to mind and it would work, but after giving the basic info for setup I got the pricing:

^{14-day free trial}

^{For your free trial period, you will have access to all of the features of our Pro plan (starting at $179/mo). After your free trial ends on Feb 15, 2024, you will be billed the monthly price of $179, plus any applicable taxes, based on the size of your database.}

^{Change or cancel your plan at any time}

^{You can cancel at any time during your trial period, or downgrade to our more limited Starter plan (starting at $34/mo) in your control panel settings.}

Ok so that's a bit pricey, though it could work, and it would actually accept donations.

Looking onward to CiviCRM, it's open source 👍 but it still costs as follows (apparently their paid hosting is called Spark)

• Spark Starter - $15/month
• Spark Essentials - $30/month
• Spark Prop - $50/month

When it comes to self-hosting civicrm I can see these platforms:

• Install CiviCRM on Backdrop
• Install CiviCRM on Drupal
• Install CiviCRM on Joomla
• Install CiviCRM on WordPress
• Install CiviCRM (Standalone)

Of them I'm most interested in the standalone one for starters, though it might be time to do a review of the big php cms options.
