    Hiya guys I'm new to worldpress so haven’t got to grips yet with its full capabilities? I would like to start a site where users can submit photos and manage the sale of Cars. Do you think this would be possible?

    Thanks,

    Devs.

    Devs,

    Yes, they are alot of companies using WP to create their site, because of it's CMS [content management system] capabilities. They are tons of plugins out there which will allow you to provide a login and facility for users to upload a photograph.

    Wordpress might work, but I'd say a php classifieds script (the one mentioned above, OpenRealty, etc.) would be a better idea.

    I'd recommened you give Joomla a shot... its a complete portal script with tonnes of plugins, most of them being open source gpl. Give me a pm if you need any help with Joomla :)

    Many thanks for all the info and feedback guys, its appreciated! I'm still struggling to find a decent script that will allow me the search functionality such as on autotrader.co.uk my users would need to be able to easily navigate between makes and models of cars within a specific area.

    If there's any particular plugins could you please post a link.

    Cheers ;)

    A classified script is maybe the best to go with and Joomla is good too but it ain't too SEO friendly, i myself am creating a similar site but i'm more on selling properties not cars and i'm planning to use Wordpress too, have to search the vast amount of plugins available.

    Remember your visitors might want to browse by price and make.
