Hello everyone. I wanted to get experts opinion on what we should do with our next website.

We are in a real estate business, apartment rentals. We want to create a site for ourselves, but also a complete 'turn key' website, which could be sold to other operators around the world, fully and completely customizable. Every imaginable aspect of it should be customizable including changes of logos, enabling / disabling of various features, etc. The idea is to sell it to our competitors or other operators in other cities.

My question is - should we hire someone to build this ground up in PHP or should we go with a CMS? All of my websites now were built ground up in PHP but I see that CMS is very popular now. If CMS - which one would be recommended for such a project?

I appreciate any feedback in advance and if any clarification is required pleas let me know.
