I’m going to be building a website where people will be able to register, upload some digital content and make sales.

There will be features like users managing their own profiles, rating and commenting on other users’ content, managing their digital inventory and integration with Paypal.

I’ve good experience with PHP, but I’m wondering if I could cut development time by using WordPress as a basis for the website instead of building from scratch or using a framework like CakePHP. What are peoples experiences with customizing WP (version 3 in particular) vs. coding from scratch in similar projects?

    This sounds like a perfect use for Buddypress(http://buddypress.org/), a WordPress plug-in. It adds user profiles and essentially allows them a Facebook-esque profile. Once the plug-in is installed you can get into the files and change things as you wish, so it’s quite customisable, at least from my experience.
