Selecting Force.com as the platform for the site

Question

Blogs

The client wants to create a site based on the Force.com platform. There are few practical reviews about this platform on the Internet. And in the Russian-speaking, no. Does anyone have experience with this platform? Is it worth using a platform to build a website?

My research on the platform has shown that Force.com is primarily for corporate portals, not websites. The site is supposed to be all-Russian and have a number of unique visits of about 10 thousand per day.

Answer 1

10 thousand is not a big number. And what are the requirements for the site, the client somehow motivates his desire. Do they use the force.com platform internally?

Answer 2

This company themselves write something for other companies and they have experience in implementation in other Russian companies on force.com. The site will be an online service type. I can't tell you the details, they asked not to disclose.

Answer 3

In my humble opinion, developing a site based on force.com does not make much sense for a practical person if they do not use / are not going to use other solutions based on this platform. Nevertheless, this can be done, although (again IMHO) it's like using BelAZ to deliver mail.
