So I have an idea for a website, something that will hopefully be community based as well as combining by hobby of photography with another hobby of mine.
I don't want to go in to specifics but the website will require the following:
I envisage there being additional areas of functionality which I could implement further down the line but the above would be a good start.
Let's say my website was about dogs. I'd want there to be a section for a Labrador. Users can then review the Labrador add pictures of the Labrador, then the Labrador could be ranked against other breeds of dogs to see which was best. You may then want to filter down the types of dogs based on different parameters such as hair colour, eye colour, whether they are fierce dogs etc. All hypothetical but gives an idea of what I am trying to achieve.
I know how to register the domain, web hosting and I also have a vBulletin license. My main issue is how to get this off the ground without paying a lot of money for a customised solution from scratch.
I'm not a coder although I can fiddle about with things myself on a very basic level. Is there anything out of the box, or a plug in for vBulletin that would help me achieve what I am looking to do?
I don't want to go in to specifics but the website will require the following:
- A discussion area
- A way of adding reviews, both quantative and qualitative by members of the website
- A way of ranking the reviews
- Adding pictures
