I'm in the brainstorming phase of a new project and I could use some advice on the platform.
I want to develop the domain AffiliateProgramDirectory .com
My vision is to have very detailed affiliate program listings and allow registered user comments/reviews for each listing. I want some level of community interaction and I wouldn't mind having a blog attached to it as well. It is something I plan on working on daily for a long time to come which is making the decision on the initial platform difficult.
Right now I'm trying to decide between the following platforms:
- A directory script currently available
- A highly modified site based on wordpress
- A custom coded solution
My problem is that a lot of the directory scripts out there are appear pretty crappy and while I have worked with WordPress a bit I'm not sure I can pull it off the way I envision. Plus if I ever wanted to convert later it would be a nightmare if I posted everything manually in Wordpress.
I'd really like any suggestions or experiences with like scripts any of you might have that could pertain to this project.
Thanks!
