I am in the stages of outsourcing my website development to programmers.
I'm currently recieving bids and screening the applicants.

The website is going to be based on user-generated content (including vids, PDF's etc), with quite a few databases involved.
On the other hand, there is still going to be content managed by me.

As it is going to be commercial website - it is going to connect to a payment gateway aswell.

I read about Wordpress here in the forum, and immedietly started playing with it. I got a great impression about the content management - but I'm not sure it fits my user based needs, and the database needs.

When I posted the project for contractors - I mentioned I prefer WP as the CMS, but I also wanted to check what other suggestions they have.

So far a few programers are talking about Custome CMS's, and there is also one that suggested CKEditor for the content parts.

Anyone had any experience with any of them?

I know that some of you are real WP fans, and I'm personally very impressed with it, but given the website's features - Do you still think that manipulating WP to accomodate them is worth it?

Any other suggestions you might think of for the website's management platform?

Advice and critisim are very welcome! :smxF:
