Use whichever platform you are personally more competent with. &nbsp;Anything can build anything, the variable in the equation is you.

I am not a developer myself. I would have to learn as I go and do it myself or pay someone to do it.
</div>


<div>
I thought I could build it using wordpress since I found good themes and plugins that would allow me to do a lot of what I want to do.<br />
<br />
Like reviews, ratings, comparison. <br />
<br />
It would just need some customization. But I would need to know if wordpress can handle everything that is needed for building something like that.
</div>


<div>
I'm confused. &nbsp;So are you building it yourself or are you outsourcing &nbsp;the development?
</div>


<div>
I would like to keep the cost low and get it done. Wordpress seems like the best solution since it would allow me to do that. However, before I got started I asked around and a friend said wordpress is very limited and can't be used to build what I want. Is this true?<br />
<br />
If I can't do it in wordpress, then I would have to hire someone else to do it or build it slowly myself. Even with wordpress, I would still need help but it is better than ROR or something else. But the point is, I would need to be able to build what I need using wordpress and the platform should not have limitations.

Which platform should I use to build this site

A web application framework (WAF) is a software framework that is designed to support the development of dynamic websites, web applications, web services and web resources. The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. Most common web application frameworks are defined by specific subsets, including ASP.NET, JaveEE, Symfony, ColdFusion Language (CFML), Laravel, jQuery and AngularJS, or for the related languages, including .NET, PHP, JavaScript, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, C++ and C.

Web Frameworks

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.
