Hi guys, i'm planning to make "job bidding" site like freelancer.com where people can submit jobs and others can respond with bids of varying amounts. Now at first i though i'd just use a forum system like simplemachines or mybb - not that i've ever worked with things like that before, up until now i've only worked with Flash and simple html - but now i'm thinking it might not be quite right as for instance i want to display information like "current lowest bid" on certain jobs. Sidenote is that i won't need any e-commerce type stuff, it will be a free service based on ad revenue - though i do want a fairly customized registry process specific to this site with some user info to be publicly displayed. I'm looking for the system that is easiest of use/implementation, preferably open source but at least affordable and it would be cool i can just cram it in a "regular" html site... I hope i've explained this properly, let me know if i haven't
Hmm yes i tried joomla before on a project a few years back - found it quite hard to get my head around, it does seem to have all the features i nees though... Anyone have any experience with Drupal? Is it easier than Joomla or harder? EDIT: whops nvm i just read a thread here wich answered my question - apparently Joomla is one of the easier ones
I would have recommended Joomla for you but it wont have all the features required for your website. Try Django i guess it is good...no idea though...
