    I am looking to build a site, it will only have a few pages. The main page will randomly generate video content from a database.

    what framework would you recommend I use? something like wordpress? or should I just write the system from scratch?!

    I appreciate all input and advice, thank you!

    WordPress is really an easy to use php application. you can do simple to harder things with WordPress writing code from scratch these days is insanity. or if you know PHP well than you can use CodeIgniter, Yii Frameworks for backend and Bootstrap is master of Frontend

    Yeah the site will be quite PHP heavy, so perhaps wordpress wont be ideal. Il do some research into CodeIgniter. thanks
