Hi,

I have some web development experience, but I'm rusty I feel a little lost with all the new tools and technologies available today.

I'm looking to create a web app that allows people to register an account, provide profile details, upload images, etc. Also, registered users should be able to search the existing user DB based on selected criteria. Lastly, I want to be able to provide some reporting queries based on site data. Nothing too complex, just professional, easily managed and scalable.

Is hard coding in the php & mysql environment still my best bet? Are CMSs such as Wordpress, Joomla, etc capable of doing what I need without a nightmare of modifications/issues? I love their fresh look and easy navigation.

Any info/suggestions will be greatly appreciated
cheers
