    I wouldn't say it's hard, but it's definitely going to be time consuming. You will, at the least, need to know PHP and MySQL. The hardest part is probably making your CMS secure. Personally, I would buy a script that's already been written and tested (other sites run it) and just modify it. Just make sure the one you buy gives you full source code access.

    Judging by your post, it sounds to me like you don't have a good knowledge of PHP anyhow, which would definitely hinder you in the difficulty and timeframe it would take you to make your content management system. I would recommend you get a basic knowledge of the PHP and MySQL languages before you actually go ahead and try to create this system you're looking for.

    Best of luck!

    Modifying an existing script (as mentioned) is probably the best option. In order to make it look and act as you want it will take some pretty thorough PHP knowledge.

    What's the advantage of creating your own cms system as opposed to using wordpress, joomla, drupal, etc?? Seems like a lot of effort for not much gain.

    I agree with the previous poster. It's better to go with popular CMS like Wordpress, Joomla etc.
