Cheers guys. It actually looks like this may be a go so tho' it should have FB integration I think they want it to be a completely separate entity. I'll have a gander and Codeigniter Prop, thanks.

unless you go for an almost-out-of-the-box solution like buddypress for wordpress, or one that's hosted third-party, you're looking at from-scratch coding or building it up on a framework like codeigniter. also, you need to wear a hoodie and flip flops when you do the coding.

Just tell your client not to bother and to concentrate their efforts on their Facebook and Twitter marketing.
Surely it's money better spent!?

think it kinda starts off being a forum / chatroom - bit like QBN
then gradually adding features and simplifying existing elements to the site

How would you go about building a social networking site from scratch?
A client has said they're thinking about it but I have no idea where to start - what framework, code, should it be from scratch or are there out of the box solutions etc.
Anyone any experience? Note my background is front end design so a bit clueless as to DBs, etc...
