matjkd got a reaction from cairns84 in help with cmsIf you do write one from scratch I'd recommend at least using a php framework such as codeigniter (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter) or similar.
Frameworks such as this take care of a lot of the more complex work (such as security, which is something you don't want to get wrong), leaving you to concentrate on usability and the like.
Also, I would utilise other peoples plugins and scripts wherever possible, not only does it save you reinventing the wheel, but for example; you'll probably learn more implementing a user login system someone has written for codeigniter than you would writing one on your own. I've found I've learnt the most about coding by looking at and using the work of experienced developers.
