  • Hello,

    I’m looking into WordPress for developing a online gallery with social networking support and job board functionality but I’m not sure if i should hire a coder that would code it from scratch using a php framework like codeigniter or go with WordPress.I’ve contacted some developers regarding a price and what platform will they use for this and most of them told me they were going to use WordPress for it but I’m not sure if it will handle it since I’m going for speed,stability,security.

    Basically the project involves creating a online gallery that has features like online portfolio creation,social networking,online gallery,job board,events,contests,paypal payments,achievements,groups,activity streams,disscussion,uploading CV,job board,etc

    The website is a mixture of the following websites: behance.net carbonmade.com awwwards.com 99designs.com but build into a single one.

    I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me if WordPress could handle such a massive project without sacrificing speed,stability and so on or should it be coded on a php platform like cakephp,zend,codeigniter,etc.

    A some how more detailed feature list is below:

    Basic Website Requirements:secure,dynamic,fast,seo friendly,adapts to screen resolution,cross browser compatible

    I will need to have full access to different settings in the backend,such as remove images/users,move users/images,control user roles,ads,control featured content and more.For example if you develop a slider,i would need to be able to choose how many seconds till it switches to the the next image as well as control how many items are displayed in the current slide.

    Main functions:
    here’s a list of some of the features that aren’t included in the attached zip
    – Private messaging
    – Groups
    – Upload CV
    – Achievements
    – Activity stream
    – RSS module that displays content & images from an external website’s RSS.
    – Portfolios and the ability to upload a custom background similar to twitter
    – People can tweak their profiles like change their description,location,skills,etc and join groups,upload CV,view stats,etc
    – Sidebar plugins/content as widgets so i control the number of elements displayed,position,slider duration
    – Backend where I can control user memberships,types, remove/delete images/users,feature images,feature contests,feature events,etc
    – Paypal payment support for publishing featured jobs,events,etc
    – typography support
    – upload their CV as a pdf or doc file so it can be downloaded by other members
    – user classes such as pro member,vip,regular,freelance,etc
    – ads management
    – google analytics
    – custom designed forms for register,login,publish job/work/event,etc
    – Job board
    – featured icon on images
    – View/rate/favorite/share other people’s work(gallery)
    – Advanced Jquery effects like Jparallax,etc

    Thank you!

    WordPress with BuddyPress (and some plugins) can do most of it. But. I would be hiring someone if I couldn’t do it myself, as it sounds pretty complicated and would need a lot of customization.
