Hello everybody from process wire comunity. I need sugestions from experienced process wire users about travel site that I want to create. Is it possible to create similar site like lonely planet, or stay.com with process wire framework?

Hi Alec,

Welcome to the forums. The simple answer is yes....

the realistic answer is: Such sites will most likely require significant amounts of custom code. As you rightly stated, PW is a framework It will give you the necessary tools to build the site but you will have to get your hands dirty...Having said that, there will be some things you will be able to get with PW right out of the box, e.g. pagination...

Maybe you can expound on the specs of your travel site to get better answers...

These sites built with PW may be of interest:

Regardless of a CMS/CMF for sites like these you need to have decent knowledge of scripting. Next, the preparation before you even can start building sites like these takes awful lot of time. As Kongondo stated, those sites require significant amounts of custom code.

1) When you're new to ProcessWire and want to build this you need to have a good understanding of PHP/ OOP.

2) Accept the extra time it takes finding out `best practices` for PW.

3) Very, very good preparation.

If you want to do it with PW, it's all in there.

ps, I don't want to build anything not build on top of PW.

PW can handle the back end without any problems. But for a project like that, unless you have lot's

of time and experience your self, you should look for 1 or 2 experienced people to get you started.
