    Hi, everyone

    Ive been browsing the forums here for a few hours and couldn't find the answer to my question, so please forgive me if I'm rehashing an old topic:p
    Also apologies if it's in the wrong section....

    Im looking to start a social network site, and need a little help as im not a programmer..
    The site is going to need all of the usual social networking features-

    User profiles / add friends
    upload photos
    upload videos
    rate photos (plus a top ten of highest rated photos)
    send private messages
    user blog
    create groups
    forum
    invite from hotmail/yahoo/google address books
    digg style section where users can submit links and vote them up/down

    Could this be made using phpizabi? if so any ideas how much it would cost and how long it would take to get a freelancer to customize it......... Does anyone have any other suggestions on how it could be done? Could it be done fairly cheaply using joomla? I also have another few features the site would need, but ive been told by a programmer friend that they are pretty simple..

    One of the main considerations would be cost. I need to get it done as cheaply as possible, no more than a few thousand dollars.

    Thanks in advance
