So, I’ve helped manage a site that -used to- have around 6-7k visitors per day. It’s sort of dead now, as it’s main focus isn’t as popular as before.
I wish to venture out on my own now. I have several ideas for websites, but the one I’m focused on most is the one I’m asking about. I want it to be a P2P e-commerce type of site, but instead of users giving money directly to one another, they must purchase a credit on the site and then use that to buy things. Now, since I don’t have time to code something like this entirely by myself (not to mention my lack of advanced coding skills), I’ve been looking around for systems/software that could be used and coders I can pay to help out. I’ve found a few people who would be willing to customize an e-commerce product into a P2P solution. I’m starting to wonder if it might be easier to purchase a vBulletin license and mod it to fit my needs.
A second project is a little more basic. I hope my post isn’t too long for some of you lol… Anyways it’s a type of gaming site, and I just needed to know the best way to start it if I’ve already got an HTML template for a few different pages of it made up. Are these rendered useless unless if I want to use a CMS such as WP or Drupal? Or is it somewhat easy to install a template using them?
It’s late and I’m finding it hard to find the right words and phrases to describe what I’m trying to ask so any help is appreciated and I’ll try to update tomorrow. Thanks if you read all of it, and bigger thanks if you reply with some advice!
