    admittedly a skeptic of any off-the-shelf CMS -
    @airey, is WP paying you to advocate so highly?

    WP is a good product, but I dont think I would praise it as highly as @airey has. A custom CMS will always be better. Always. You may be able to get a lot for a little money with an off the shelf product, but you are going to make compromises.

    I have a CMS framework that I designed, and I know a lot of developers who have done the same. That speeds up development time a little, but offers an efficient solution while at the same time giving you any feature you want.

    Frankly, I couldnt care less what you end up using for the "next facebook" or whatever you are building. Lord knows the world needs another community site. But, if you can afford to, hire a developer that can build you a custom system. You will appreciate it in the end.
