 * Hey Bshah,
 * Actually deciding factors also depends on various other items e.g. team company
   to you are going to outsource, How important security/performance is important
   for you initially, How you made your milestones and plans.
 * Actually I discussed with many people, and I found the following answer reasonable:
 * **——————–**
 * There’s no right or wrong approach, it depends entirely on what you want from
   your app, what your budget is, how long you want to spend in development, what
   level of performance you want out of it.
 * If you want the app up and running as quickly as possible, then using systems
   such as WordPress, Drupal etc are good, as you’d be able to set it up relatively
   quickly. The downside of course is that it won’t be completely tailored to your
   requirements. You’d always be working within the confines of the application 
   you chose to use.
 * Writing something from scratch gives you the full control that may be desired,
   but obviously the development times will be increased.
 * Given the type of app you’re after, I’d suggest looking at writing something 
   from scratch, but with a framework, so for example,
 * PHP with CakePHP/CodeIgniter etc
    Ruby on Rails Using a system such as rails 
   for instance, allows for very rapid development times and will give you the full
   flexibility to do whatever you want with your app, however you want to do it.
   That’d be my personal choice
 * ————
 * So I chose the option writing from the scratch and based on my budget :, I am
   using PHP with CakePHP for its development.
