Managing Sharing of a Knowledge Database

I am a time management speaker, trainer and consultant. I would like to be able to share resources with my customers/members. I have written several ebooks, but they are difficult to keep up to date and distribute. I was thinking it might be better to have an online resource/knowledge database they could access instead. This way, everyone could access it and I could update just one place.

I am trying to decide what system to create it in. I have access to web designers and could do it in something like Wordpress, but I was thinking there might be a better way.

I use and love Evernote and do share some notes with people that way, but there is no way to properly order the notes within a shared notebook and the membership controls are poor.

I was wondering if a Wiki might be the best possibility to let me share online but also to control access. I was seeking your ideas on either a Wiki or another system that would work for this.

I should mention that I do not use markdown, I prefer WSYWIG so availability of WSYWIG is important.

I was looking at https://www.dokuwiki.org/ and was wondering if it might do the trick. If anyone has used a Wiki for public/members access I would like to hear your experiences with the systems you have used and any challenges you had.
