| Jul 27, 2011 at 13:24 | comment | added | MVCylon | @Alex Bennett, One other thing, There are open source CMSes. If you get the source code. You could start with that, and then modify it to your liking. This would really accelerate building your own. It's like a hybrid approach. Who really wants to reinvent the wheel? | |
| Jul 27, 2011 at 10:04 | comment | added | Alex Bennett | Alright, thanks anyway. The only reason I wouldn't want to use a framework is for the practice, but I believe it would probably be safer for me to use one in this case being that it is a production site and I don't want to have any stray vulnerabilities which may arise with me creating my own CMS/framework. | |

But using a framework is definitely encourages. I use Entity Framework as an ORM, thus using an ORM in PHP can really boost your development. | |

| Jul 27, 2011 at 9:43 | comment | added | Alex Bennett | Wow, excellent answer. Some of these things I have never considered but are really nice to know now. As you were saying with the customization, I really need a lot of that, which is why I originally turned to Drupal because I had heard it was supposed to be great with things like that. In my case, though, I need to have a lot of interaction between multiple servers, PayPal, extensively customized registration, and other things that really aren't easily handled by something like Drupal. Many thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it. :) | |
