Artists and music - Need Help Deciding on a CMS
- by infty
A friend has asked me to build a site with the following options:
staff members must be able to add new music and artists to the page
a gallery must be provided - it is also good if each artist has the ability to have his/her own smaller gallery
users must be able to vote for artists
users must be able to alter in discussions (forums or comments sections)
staff members must be able to blog
staff members must be able to write articles
I did a small project where i actually implemented all of these features, but I want to use an existing content management system for all of these features so that future developers can, hopefully, more easy extend the website. And also, so that I don't have to provide too much documentation.
I have never developed a website using an external CMS like Drupal or Wordpress and after seeing hours of tutorial videos of both systems, I still can't make up my mind on whether i should :
a) use Drupal 7
b) use Wordpress 3
c) create my own cms
I can imagine that staff members would also want to create content using iPhone or android based mobile devices, but this is not a required feature.
Can someone, with experience, please tell me about their experiences with larger projects like this?
The site will have approximately 400 000 - 500 000 visitors (not daily visitors, based on numbers from last year in a period of 4 months)
