Other things would be better... Having something that functioned as a WordPress replacement would be awesome. I'm trying to weigh up whether Mezzanine could be that. At the moment, I'm still at a loss for what to say to people who just want a website with a simple CMS. For the typical person, WordPress is going to give huge problems with security etc. - I couldn't sleep at night if I was recommending it or using it for clients. Alternative web site builders like weebly.com get people so far, but you've essentially got to start from scratch when you outgrow what they provide.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Hosted solutions for Mezzanine
Hi Luke As far as I know, no such thing exists. The Mezzanine 'friendly' places I have heard of are 1. Webfaction - https://www.webfaction.com/ 2. Digital Ocean - https://www.digitalocean.com/ 3. Python Anywhere - https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ However, 'getting your hands dirty' with things like 'fab files' and the command line, is I believe a requirement. On a more general level, the issue of who Mezzanine is for, is something that I am trying to get clear in my own mind. I know from listening to Stephen McDonald talk about the birth of Mezzanine - https://vimeo.com/103614826 that it was in response to his management wanting to 'go with Wordpress' My working hypothesis is that creating websites with Mezzanine is *not* for non-developers.
