Hi all,
I've had a bit of experience using Joomla (it seemed overly complex at the time, although it was a quick botch job really). Other than that I can get around HTML and CSS.
I'm currently running a games news and reviews site in Wordpress, which is fine for the blog format and having categories such as PS3, where users can scroll through the latest posts.
What I eventually want it to become is something more like IGN or GameSpot, where each game is an object with articles, video and images etc attached to it, so effectively each game will have its own hub page. Similarly, each category (XBox, PS3 etc) will have its own page showing a mini-blog of the latest posts in that category, the most popular objects in the category and maybe a couple of other things.
As a fairly inexperienced web developer, would people suggest just bolting a load of plugins on to Wordpress to achieve the desired effect? Or can anyone suggest a CMS that's pre-built for the sort of site I'm trying to build and it just needs some tweaking and some custom CSS?
TIA,
Dave
