Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I think I will be looking at awiz.
As for the others;
Carma - I had some limited experience with Carma before and while I am sure it's fine for programmers and designers, people who understand templating and stuff like that it just wasn't for me, I have a marketing and accounting background and I need stuff that just works, out of the box, and simple instructions on uploading video and pics.
As you can see here
https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=923823&highlight=carma I requested design help with Carma in 2009 and got some crickets, a suggestion that I get something else and an offer to sell me a license. Not exactly the outpouring of support I would have hoped for. This is after requesting a designer referral from TMM and being told they "didn't provide referrals like that".
ElevatedX seems like a great product but I would like to have more than one site on it to justify the monthly cost and I am not even close to that point yet.
Wordpress I have used quite a bit but not for anything mission critical, seems like too much work to fight off the hackers and script kiddies.
So yeah gonna give it a shot with Awiz, thanks.
