Hello I’d like to launch a Listing/Directory platform to target a special type of Users/Clients. Some functionalities are pretty standard and already available in many wordpress themes: Advanced user dashboard (to edit their profile, edit their listings and view statistics) Advanced listing options with different functionalities (free, trial period, silver, gold, etc.) Advanced search and filtering options among the listing items (with and without map) Integration of a smooth payment system (e.g. stripe) Multi-languages Although some functionalities will be more unique to my project: creation of a sub-domain per user (wildcard sub-domain) rather than sub directories/folders (or let the user use his own domain name for an extra fee) WYSIWYG interface for users to edit their listings (ie. Visual mode editing) Very smooth interface and transitions (Ajax?) Which platform/framework would you use for that type of project? Many thanks
You over use the word "advanced". From what I have gathered you just need a listing/directory web site. Most of the programming logic is just interacting with a database and simple validation. You can use any language to accomplish this from PHP, Python, Node, Go, Ruby, Perl, ASP etc. Personally I would just use PHP. Look for scripts already built that you can alter. That may be quicker than writing from scratch.
