I want to create a website and the frontend stuff is already done by another guy. It is similar to social media in that it needs an upvote-system and accept uploads. There also needs to be a payment system. I have very little experience in web development, but I have a lot of fun learning new things.

My question: Would you recomend a CMS(which one) or
learning by doing?

    How much time do you have? Any skills in a backend language?

    @taijidude I have basically unlimited time. 2-3 months long of 5hrs a week is what I want to spend though. :)

    So 80 - 120 hrs. I would go with a CMS. I tried to build a backend for a website with limited experience in my part. Everything took a lot longer than expected. So for this time frame i would use as much prebuild stuff as possible.

    If part of your goal is to learn and have fun - write it yourself. There are likely lots of code examples for each module you can learn from.
    Be sure to consider security in your plan if you are taking payments or holding sensitive data. Payments you should consider using an existing service you can integrate into your web site.
